About the Author

Who is Nexus Publishing? Originally from a small town called Darlaston – about ten miles north of Birmingham – I moved to West Sussex about ten years ago to help develop one of the first online retailers. Having recently moved to Shropshire I am now enjoying the working from home life in a semi rural location. I have been a freelance writer and journalist for about fifteen years. Eight of them were spent doing various other jobs such as bookshop assistant, print finisher and returns clerk for a large library supplier, with the writing taking up evenings and any of my spare time. As you can see, much of my life so far has been spent working with books and publishing of one kind or another. My time as an employee came to a conclusion some six years ago with redundancy, so I took the opportunity – and the money – to see if I could survive as a full-time freelance writer. That was five years ago. There have been some lean times – just ask my wife, Joanne. But after tasting the freelance life, there’s no going back.

Sound Asleep Pillow

Running your own home-based business can mean it’s difficult to switch off at the end of the day. With a million and one things racing through you mind, getting to sleep can be a major challenge.

If like me you simply can’t work without music, how about trying to let your favourite tunes send you to sleep? Following the phenomenal success of the Sound Asleep pillow, makers Comfy Quilts have taken the innovative gadget to the next level with the creation of the Sound Asleep memory foam pillow.

The new pillow incorporates a miniature covert speaker into a pillow creating the perfect solution for balancing the harmony in the bedroom.  With its deluxe memory foam cushioning, the Sound Asleep pillow is great for relaxing in bed whether it’s dozing off to your favourite tunes on the ‘Z’-pod or watching late night Match of the day, the pillow maximises entertainment while minimising the risk of keeping your loved ones awake.

The unique Sound Asleep memory foam pillow has a discreet speaker built into its design meaning the sound is distributed via the foam cushioning, direct into the users ear. Compatible with i-pods, MP3 players, TV’s, stereos, radio, and even baby monitors, the Sound Asleep memory foam enables the user to listen to their own personal sounds that only they can hear, without the discomfort of headphones.

The pillow is also a great way to unwind if you’ve had a particularly bad day, or need to rest your head and neck if you’re suffering from an MSD.

I find a bit of ambient music usually does the trick for me. If you’re stuck for a track or two, I’d recommend Brian Eno’s Apollo: Atmospheres and soundtracks that you can buy from Amazon if you want the CD, or download from iTunes.
