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!

This is a new google tool that has become available – Google Web Elements. Took 5 seconds to create a customized Crohn’s feed and then I cut and pasted the code here… easy peasy.
