79. Julie Westervelt: A Drug-Free Solution For Better Sleep

Do you struggle to get a good night's rest? Many of us do! But rather than take a sleep aid, we discuss a drug-free solution in this episode of The Well Drop podcast.  

We are joined by Sleep Crown founder, Julie Westervelt, to discuss Sleep Crown's unique over-the-head pillows - a must-have for sleepers of all ages. We discuss the science behind Sleep Crown's design, unexpected benefits for various users (including migraine sufferers and hospital patients) and tips for personalizing your Sleep Crown experience. 

Julie Westervelt, a restorative yoga teacher from Austin, Texas, is the innovative founder of Sleep Crown. Inspired by her personal habit of sleeping with a pillow over her head since childhood and her observations of tired yoga students easily drifting off when gently weighted in a dark, quiet studio, Julie developed Sleep Crown as a natural, drug-free sleep aid.
