I never thought I could be repulsed, intrigued and hopeful all at the same time like this… I stumbled across this article on Slate the other day in which they are treating some intestinal infections with fecal transplants. Yes, you read it correctly. Here is the article… gross and yet intriguing.

So – I am a big fan of Lifehacker – http://lifehacker.com and came across this post. I know a few cooling tricks and also have a chillow, but thought this was quite useful information to keep as well as pass on.
Enjoy the read!

A while back I bought a “Chillow” to insert into my pillow and I have to say that I like it a lot. It does what it is supposed to do, but it is difficult to keep it in place. (I tend to mash my pillow up when trying to get comfortable)
While the Chillow works fairly well, I stumbled across this wikihow entry about sleeping comfortably on a hot night – and it certainly applies to folks that suffer from Crohn’s night sweats and feverish sleep like I do.

Good luck sleeping!
