Sleep Therapies
Healthy Sleep for Children
From Michelle Perro, MD
A small project I have been working on that might be of interest. This is an early version of a film produced and directed by Amy Hart for Einstein Medical Center in partnership with Head Start, funded by the NIH. I am featured on the video.
The video talks about the reasons sufficient sleep is so important for children, as well as a simple list of ways to help encourage and support it. While this video is focused on the importance of sleep for children, some of the suggestions are just as valid for adults.

European Sleep Works designed the Oxygen Pillow specifically to aid in better breathing during sleep. The Oxygen Pillow is engineered to manage head and neck incline and support proper body alignment—positioning you for deeper breathing.
About the Oxygen PillowSleep Apnea Testing
Sleep Apnea is one of the most common sleep disorders, in which breathing stops and then restarts again recurrently during sleep. Sleep Apnea is not just a condition of sleep loss, it also involves oxygen deprivation as the airway becomes blocked when throat tissues relax during sleep. Our Sleep Apnea test can be done in the privacy of your home in just two nights.
About Sleep Apnea TestingOxygen Pillow - Even my CPAP mask fits more comfortably, as there is enough room for it to be supported without pushing it off my face. And I don't have to keep fluffing and scrunching my pillow in an effort to get the right shape. It stays just right all night long. What a relief!
Oxygen Pillow - My neck is much more relaxed, and my head feels supported without having to tuck my chin. My arm and shoulder are not going numb, and there is much less pressure when I lay on my side. I feel like I rest more fully. Thanks!
