Caregivers and Sleeping In A Hospital

We caregivers have to sleep in uncomfortable places ...but we don't have to be miserable!  MY.PILLOW.com  has a solution for those for those uncomfortable nights in a waiting room, in a hospital recliner, on the sofa, or in a cot by a hospital bed.  Do you like taking your own pillow to a hospital?  Really?  I never did because I never felt I got the "Hospital out of the pillow!"  But with MY.PILLOW.com, you can throw these in the washer and dryer!  

Just because we're uncomfortable doesn't mean we have to be miserable.  As caregivers, we need sleep ...we need rest.  Do what I do, and go to MY.PILLOW.com  The promo code is CAREGIVER  ...and you get 50% off the four pack which includes 2 "Go anywhere" pillows ...and as caregivers, "Go Anywhere" often means the hospital!.

A Comfortable Pillow in Uncomfortable Places

I recently ran into Mike Lindell of MyPillow.com and we discussed the need for family caregivers to have a comfortable pillow as we sleep in uncomfortable places (Hospital chairs, fold-out cots, waiting rooms, etc.). 

Mike sent me a couple of pillow to try out ...and I talked about them on the air.
