So, we just discussed a handful of tips to rest better and avoid catching Corona. But that’s not all. We’ve talked a lot about the physical… but what leads the body is the brain. Let’s look at that a little. MIND YOUR MIND’S DIET In fact, while we’re on the topic of the subconscious and […]
Back when the Corona monster first hit, I heard a bit of advice that seemed simple, but makes a lot of sense: Get. More. Sleep. Simple, right? Painfully obvious? Yet, now it’s harder than ever to do. Anxiety is at an all time high because of the news we’re hearing, the routines that have been […]
Alright, here’s one you may not have heard before. The direction in which your noggin’s pointed when you rest can either make or break your sleep. Okay, okay. I may be getting too airy fairy here for some. However, as I was perusing the random “recommendations” on my Youtube home page, I came across this […]
So, I finally got a new phone. And, while you’d think that might be the opposite of a soporific (I mean who gets a new phone after not upgrading for four years and then doesn’t stay up all night uploading new apps?), it totally isn’t. In fact, for the first time in a handful of […]
We all face it. It’s an eternal issue. On the one hand, we wanna keep our flesh temp down enough to rest at night. (We all know how important it is to remain cool for snooze time.) So, we take off the blanket. But then, naturally, the prospect of a fleet’ve Legion demons emerging from […]
I didn’t get it. Each weeknight at home, I was tossing and turning. But my weekend sleeps at bae’s were great. Next level. Perfect. So – what was it? Why was I enjoying such a wonderful slumber at my lover’s abode and not my own? Was it his mattress? The spooning? Waking up, cuddled in […]
“So, what are you doing tonight?” It’s a typical question, really. One that’s generally tailed by an invitation to go do stuff. And I’m grateful for the invite. But it’s late. And a weekday. And I’m not 23 anymore. So I reply, monosyllabically: “Cocooning.” Now, anyone who knows me, knows that means I’m sheathed in […]
“Can I call in catatonic to work?” Ever wake up like Igor? All hunched over and barely mobile? I mean, you went to bed relatively okay. But, when you woke up, it felt like you were in a straightjacket of your own muscles. Shoulders hunched forward. Pecs invisibly stitched and cinched tight ‘til you could […]
“I’m so tired…” Ever hear yourself saying this all day long? And then following it up with why? Kids. Bills. The insomnia. (Which is actually really self induced ’cause you’re addicted to trolling the binary corridors of Reddit all night.) Well, according to science, you might be making it worse. Sure, you didn’t get seven […]
Someone asked me once how I managed to be such an “early bird”. And that’s a valid inquiry for a sleep site like this. Because, if you’re not heading into your day feeling well rested, then what’s the point of falling asleep in the first place? Right? See, I work from 10 – 7 at […]
