GIVEAWAYS!

APRIL 2015 SUBSCRIBER GIVEAWAY

CPAP users sometimes experience fit and comfort issues related to their masks. Mary Breaux of Treater Creek, a natural healthcare products company in Georgia, created this product, CPAP Face Mask Creme, to help her father.

"He has a severe case of sleep apnea and requires forced air through his mask. He was using cocoa butter, but did not like the smell. My products seems to be helping him and others who have tried it."

Mary is pleased to participate in this opportunity with SleepyHeadCENTRAL to help those with sleep apnea to find more comfort in their therapy. Her creme includes three natural emollients in her proprietary blend: shea butter, vitamin E and coconut oil, which can help to reduce skin irritation where the mask rests on the face and may also improve mask seal.

WINTER 2015 ALTERNATIVES GIVEAWAY
With our January theme all about alternative ways to manage sleep health problems, it makes sense to offer an alternative giveaway related to the challenges of sleep.

This gorgeous handmade book, Life After Sleep, by Mark Brand, is only one of a few in the "Hypermodern Edition" series offered by the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography. It's a special high-quality, signed limited edition handmade book and the story is intriguing. From the website: "It is the day after tomorrow, and a device has been invented that immediately induces REM sleep, otherwise known as 'Sleep' with a capital S. Society has been transformed. The average person now only needs two hours of rest a night. The work day is officially sixteen hours long..." Yes, it's science fiction and it's great collectible literary art all at the same time, and it could be yours if you subscribe to the SleepyHeadCENTRAL newsletter, a free monthly dispatch.

SEPTEMBER 2014 INAUGURAL LAUNCH GIVEAWAY

Publication Details || Paperback, 240 pages
$19.99 || Curbside Splendor Publishing
ISBN: 978-0988480407
Cover Art: Steven Seighman
The Way We Sleep [Curbside Splendor Publishing, 2012 || Chicago].

The Way We Sleep is an anthology of short stories, interviews, and comics all dealing with the way we sleep. Beds are the most intimate of places, where you spend a third of your life. They are quiet places, they are rambunctious places. The Way We Sleep combines prose, comics, illustrations and interviews into a fantastic book all about beds and sleep.

Praise for The Way We Sleep:
"At once a hybrid text and a compendium of tales related more or less loosely to the theme of sleep, this generously sized volume edited by C. James Bye and Jessica Bye offers flash-length tidbits and short stories by well-known and less well-known writers, interviews with movie and TV directors, and a healthy dose of comics." — Los Angeles Review

"The Way We Sleep represents the very best of what a book can do that no other narrative medium can touch; it's part anthology, part art-book, part interview, part graphic novel, part confessional, part essay, part sociological study. The subject matter here ranges from sex to family to coming-of-age, all rendered with a delightful wit, brevity, and charm. From Mary Roach's study of insomnia to Tony Millionaire's depiction of epic torpor to the Resident's exploration of sleepwalking, The Way We Sleep is as intimate, poignant, and humorous as anything whispered beneath the sheets." —Joe Meno, author of Hairstyles of the Damned
