Problem: Article: If you have chronic neck pain and are seeing a medical professional about it, ask what type of neck pillow is optimal for your specific needs. This can help you narrow down the list of potential choices. Make sure to give your doctor any potentially relevant information about the way you sleep such as position, snoring or sleep apnea, or even if you sweat a lot. Your doctor may know of specific brands that can accommodate all of your needs. Ask for a couple of different suggestions from your doctor in case you don't like one of the pillows. Let your doctor know if you are using the pillow for your bed or for travel, which may influence his or her suggestions. Your dominant sleeping position is the position into which you settle and is likely your favorite way to sleep. Establishing your dominant sleeping position can help you determine the best type of pillow to get you comfortably through the night or a long flight. The following are the types of sleeping position you may be: Side sleeper, which is the most common sleeping position Back sleeper, which is often associated with snoring and sleep apnea Stomach sleeper, which may cause your neck to twist more easily Combination sleeper Travelers, who often sleep upright, slightly reclined, or leaning onto something Each dominant sleeping position has different needs in order to maintain alignment and comfort. When buying your pillow, make sure you look at models that are the appropriate firmness and height for your sleep position. The following options are best for each dominant sleeping position type: Side sleepers: a firm or extra firm pillow that is 10 centimeters (4 inches) high Back sleepers: a medium-firm pillow that is a medium loft, which is the pillow's height when it's lying flat on the bed Stomach sleepers: a thin and soft, scrunch-able pillow Combination sleepers: a pillow with softer and firmer sections that is higher on the sides and lower on the center for when you change positions Travelers: pillows that provide maximum comfort for your specific needs and how you sleep. This includes neck support and ability to shift in your seat. Just as the firmness and height are important to your neck pillow selection, the material can also make a difference. Materials like memory foam or down may be better for certain positions over others. Sleepers may want to consider the following materials for a more comfortable night's sleep: Side sleepers: contoured memory foam or latex foam Back sleepers: down alternative, memory foam, latex foam Stomach sleepers: down, feathers, down alternative, polyester, or thin foam latex Combination sleepers: buckwheat hulls and multiple-material pillows Travelers: memory foam, gel, plush fabric For as simple as sleeping seems, it can actually be slightly complex. Factors such as your mattress and size as well as how long you're traveling can also have an impact on your pillow choice. In turn, this may affect the type of neck pillow you use. Think about how soft your mattress is. If it is on the softer side, it may cause your body to settle more in relation to your pillow. This means you should get a lower loft, or height, pillow. Consider your body temperature. Do you get very hot at night? If so, you may want to consider a gel foam cooling pillow or a buckwheat hull version. Keep your body frame in mind. If you have a smaller frame, see if you can get a smaller neck pillow to fit your body. Think about how you normally sleep when you travel. Do you shift positions frequently and need a little bit more space? You may want a larger travel pillow that allows you to fully relax in your space. Be aware that these options that let you sprawl out and sleep may irritate fellow travelers. Ensure the pillow is allergy tested and washable so that dust mites don't build up on the surface over time. This can not only cause allergic reactions but actually alter the weight and shape of your neck pillow. Every person's body is different. Part of having the right pillow is finding one that fits you and your body best. Trying out different options can help you use the neck pillow for the best possible night's sleep. Keep in mind that it takes 15 minutes to settled into a pillow and about a week to know if your neck pillow is working. This can make it difficult to know exactly which pillow is best in a store. Consider asking the sales staff what the return policy is so that you can return a pillow if it doesn't work for you. Avoid discounting personal preference. If you like the feel of one particular pillow, that may be your deciding factor. It's time to make your final neck pillow selection. Take into account the various factors such as your dominant sleeping position and how you sleep when you travel as you make your final decision. Double-check what the company's return policy is for neck pillows. If you are unable to return a pillow, even if it is very uncomfortable, you may want to find a different option you can return. Be aware that you'll need to replace your neck pillow about every 2 years.
Summary: Talk to a medical professional. Figure out your dominant sleeping position. Look for the right firmness and height. Take into account the pillow material. Consider other factors. Try out different pillows. Make your final selection.

Problem: Article: Prepare a roasting pan by lining it with a large sheet of aluminum foil. The foil needs to be at least three times as large as the bottom of your roasting pan. You will need enough foil to wrap completely and securely around the brisket, so if necessary, you can test the amount by wrapping it around your brisket before you use it the line the pan. In a small saucepan, whisk together the ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, ginger, garlic, oil, and water until combined. Alternatively, you could use your favorite prepared barbecue sauce instead of this sauce recipe. Use roughly 3/4 cup (185 ml) of prepared sauce and mix it with 1 cup (250 ml) of water. No simmering is necessary if using prepared sauce. Heat the sauce on your stove over medium-high heat until it reaches a simmer. Let cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, so the flavors blend. Pre-heating the barbecue sauce separately allows the flavors of the sauce to blend more thoroughly before you add it to the beef brisket. If you do not pre-cook the sauce, you may end with a brisket that is unevenly flavored, with some tastes being stronger on one side of the meat than they are on another. Place the beef brisket on the aluminum foil and spread the sauce over it, covering as much of the meat as possible. Wrap the foil around the brisket when done. By wrapping the brisket, you seal the liquid in and keep that liquid in full contact with the meat. This leads to a more even, more rapid, and more flavorful cooking process. Make sure the foil is wrapped around the brisket tightly so no liquid can leak out through the corners of the foil packet. The beef brisket should be roasted for roughly 1 hour per l lb (450 g) of meat. In this case, the brisket should cook for 3 to 4 hours. Do not unwrap the brisket during the cooking process unless you are checking for doneness. Unwrapping the meat can cause some liquid to be lost, which can upset the cooking time and lead to a brisket that is drier than ideal. You should also watch the brisket to make sure that liquid is not leaking out from the corners of the foil. If liquid does seep out, carefully refold the corners of the foil down using oven mitts to prevent additional liquid loss. Check the internal temperature of the brisket with a meat thermometer. The temperature should be between 190 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit (88 to 93 degrees Celsius) when safe and tender enough to eat, and the meat should be easy to pull apart. Remove the beef brisket from the oven and let it rest for 30 minutes before you carve and serve it. Slice the brisket across the grain to produce more tender slices of beef. You can also serve the brisket with its cooking juices for a more intense flavor. Skin the fat from the surface of the cooking liquid using a spoon before ladling the liquid over carved slices of meat.
Summary:
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius). Combine the sauce ingredients. Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes. Transfer the brisket and sauce to the roasting pan. Bake until tender. Let rest before serving.
