    “avoid coffee” means “16h before”. Caffeine has a halflife of 8 hours, meaning after 8 hours you still have half of it in your blood.

    Replacing pillows is waste bullshit. What should that mean, just the filling? I found a pillow out of grain husks. This is a natural waste product in production and honestly incredible, as you can change its form flexibly and also just fill in more after time.

    Acid reflux is not normal and should be avoided by diet, medication shouldnt be the first step. Eating late may increase it.

      Besides diet, acid reflux can also be caused by a lack if vitamin D, which is quite a common deficiency.

        The most “natural” medication for urgent release is baking soda. Just drink a tea spoon full in a glass of water. It neutralizes the acid into co2 and you burp your pain away. Saved me several nights.

      There are also some pillows where you can properly wash and dry them which normally fluffs them to a like-new condition.
