As a teenage school boy I found the ups and downs in mood to be too fast too graph as hormones raged. I had read in a newspaper that hospitals in the UK were painted green because it had been found that this colour relaxed the patients. I thought it would be a great idea to stare at a piece of green paper in order to relax myself, but green cardboard from the stationery shop had no effect. Undeterred, I tried other colours and came upon one which did relax me. I then set about testing the colours of the rainbow in the stationery shop on other people that were stressed and found that everyone has a colour of cardboard that has a soporific affect. The Tension Sheet was born. I soon carried out a test on those with high blood pressure, and found that The Tension Sheet reduced the blood pressure to lower than normal figures in just minutes and recommend that a tension sheet is carried at all times, and that a chill-out room should be painted in the right colour in every tension sufferers home. It is certainly easier to stare at a correctly coloured piece of cardboard or wall for a few minutes than the interference with breathing patterns that most mediation involves. And it has better results.

With most of my medical inventions the medical profession do not like them because they cannot make any money out of them by writing out prescriptions, but with the Tension Sheet bringing blood pressure to below average, they can still make money by prescribing medicine for low blood pressure. And the patient is a also a winner, I have met several that had been given ten years to live. I have not had much publicity over the years with the Tension Sheet, but actor Craig Charles got it mentioned in the 'Red Dwarf' science fiction series. How cool is that?

The Tension Sheet has been found to aid those who suffer from heart conditions, exam nerves, and sleep conditions. And you can make this invention with just a visit to your local stationers. A donation to your favourite Third World charity by way of thanks would be nice.
