What is a body pillow?

A body pillow is an extra-large pillow that people who sleep on their side use during the night for a more comfortable and pain-free experience.

Fact

Women are up to twice as likely to suffer from insomnia than men.

• The reason women are thought to suffer from insomnia more than men are mood changes, hormones and the responsibilities brought on by children and family.
• Insomnia is a particular problem for women while pregnant and also during the menopausal years.

Myth

The sun is yellow.

It is a common misconception that the sun is yellow or orange or even red. In reality, the sun is essentially all colors mixed together, which appear to our eyes as white. The reason we see the sun as yellow or orange most of the time is because those colored wavelengths, which are longer, are the only ones that make it to our eyes. The other short-wavelength colors—green, blue, and violet—become scattered by the atmosphere, which is what makes the sky look blue during the day!
