Methods of Promoting Sleep Systems: Great Idea?

by Cosetta

Methods of Promoting Sleep Systems known also as Patent# US 6997070 involves positioning a person on a mattress in a lying position. One arm extends perpendicular to the torso. A pillow is placed underneath the sleeper’s head and a force is applied to that arm in the direction of the feet. This force is used to determine whether the proper combination of mattress and pillow is achieved. If it seems to you that just waiting until you are tired before you go to sleep and closing your eyes do the trick, then you don’t understand this invention and probably don’t deserve it. (Lucky you!)

There is something to be said about the mysteries of life even when they are patents. Sometimes the patent and its purpose is not only an enigma to others but also to the inventor himself. It would appear that the Methods of Promoting Sleep Systems is precisely that. Its dark destiny of comparing the amount of resistance to the applied force when lying on the first pillow with the amount of resistance to the applied force when lying on the second pillow to determine which of the forces is the greatest seems a fruitless task. Just go to sleep, you fool.

The idea behind this invention relates to methods for determining appropriate combinations of mattresses and pillows. Finding the correct mattress can be a difficult task and within the United States alone, there are literally hundreds of makes and models of mattresses, such as firm mattress, plush mattresses, and the like. Still, go to sleep, you fool.

Other inventors have tapped into the realm of sleep. Consider Gloria Campos’ piece, “Discarded Dreams Mattress Competition Is Here". After all, if you can’t sleep you don’t need your mattress, do you? Read also Steve Levenstein’s article, “Slumber Like a Mummy with the King Tut Sleeping Bag”.

Golden dreams!

That arm pushing thing is part of Neuro Emotional Technique

I got some NET a few times back in the 90s and was very happy with the results.

In NET, the patient lies down as in the drawing, the practitioner asks the patient questions about the patient's problem, the patient then responds in whatever way they see fit (it doesn't matter what or if they answer) and the NET practitioner presses on their arm. The strength of the arm's resistance is taken as an indication of the answer to the question.

Once the problem has been isolated, if the solution is not evident, the practitioner may continue to use this technique to narrow down the solution. If the problem is a chemical imbalance, the practitioner may bring bottles of possible medication (usually supplements of some sort) close to the patient and press on their arm to see if the body indicates that that medication will help.

It may sound a little like Scientology, but it has the distinction of not requiring the patient to come back for session after session. Each of the complaints I sought treatment for were addressed in a single session and I haven't been back since. My sister introduced me to it and the results with her family were the same.

Trying to patent it is ridiculous. It'd be like patenting measuring a fever by placing a hand on someone's forehead.
