Is your pillow habit becoming a problem? Interfering with your life? Work? Relationships? Or – more importantly – your sleep? Ya know, the whole reason you bought them? While I may not have a long term relache with a single anime painted one the size of me (like Mr. F.), I do have a similar […]
Sometimes when I delve into a topic, I have these preconceived notions. Today it was: “I bet they’re totally gonna say twofers snooze poorly.” I mean, it makes sense right? If you’re sharing something as sacred as sleep with another human person, things’re gonna get ugly. That’s a lot to slash down the center and […]
FACT: TMJD is an enemy of restful sleep. Every evening before I attempt to slumber, that old familiar anxiety rises up in my body cavity and I circle the bed like a chupacabra preparing to attack a baby lamb’s blind side. That might be because, every evening for months, I’ve failed to attack that baby […]
I awoke into a sentient… corpse. That’s what I was. Still capable of feeling – but totally cold. Paralyzed. Dread flooded my essense – and for good reason. Because when I opened my eyes, a vast, shadowy creature with ebony eyes, an impossibly massive maw packed with stalactite teeth, and a face like an alien […]
Remember when you were a kid and mom would do the ol’ “warm milk” thing to get you to sleep? “Um… where’s the spiced tea part? Why is this not topped with overpriced emerald foam? I SAID SOY!!!!1” Really, it did seem magical. At the time. Naturally, though, as I got a little bit older […]
Back in my prescription induced snooze days, I didn’t wanna hear about “natural calming and sleep remedies”. If the pre-slumber zombie nod mode ain’t broke even though the rest of your life is, why fix it? Am I right, guyz?! While hopefully the dripping sarcasm there is evident, in a way, it is true. Well, […]
Hello, I’m Ashley… and I’m a recovering snooze button addict. Indeed, there was a time in my life when I was so in love with the idea of being gifted not only extra time – but extra time spent subconscious – that I’d set my preliminary alarm ridiculously early. And then I’d hit it about […]
Finally. You’re nice and calm after a long soul-sucking day. Your anxious breathing has finally given way to a deep, diaphragmatic, oceanic ebb and flow. So you hop into bed. And… you pick up your phone. (Like if you’re so sleep deprived that you just looked for the “like” button. In an article. Twice.) And […]
You were planning to work out. But, alas, it’s too close to bed time for that… right? Yep, you heard the pill pusher in the pimp spectacles correctly: Indeed, those pre-sleep exercise excuses have been nullified… by science. I remember when I was first getting into jogging (around age ten) and my mom would say, […]
Eight hours. Who ever came up with the old “you hafta get eight hours of sleep” rule anyway? You’d think Mr. Napster’s napping stance would be right. The more sleep, the better. Right? Or – at the very least – an even eight sounds great. Not at nighttime, mind you, when it means I have […]
