Benefits for Families and Carers
Benefits for Families and CarersThe benefits of Sleep-Safe anti-suffocation pillows extend beyond helping to prevent the death or injury of a person affected by seizures.
Sleep-Safe pillows also provide reassurance to parents, partners and carers by reducing the fear of suffocation of a loved one, fear that can lead to disturbed sleep patterns, anxiety and depression, and a profound deterioration in the quality of life for the entire family.
Sometimes, there certainly is a place for electronic alarms and monitors - however, these require carer intervention when activated and are expected to function with 100% certainty for 100% of the time. However, that kind of excellence is usually found only in specialised electro-medical monitoring equipment used in hospital settings.
Sleep-Safe pillows don't require carer intervention in order to “work properly” - they are designed to help prevent fatal suffocation events during sleep seizures occurring in domestic or care settings where 24-hour continuous monitoring is not entirely practical.
This means that Sleep-Safe pillows also help to reduce greatly the “carer anxiety” of sleep seizures - the fear of suffocation. This helps to put carers and patients back in control of their lives by relieving a significant cause of family stress and making management of the condition which is causing the seizures - epilepsy, stroke, aftermath of head injury, meningitis, etc - much less demanding.
