It doesn’t matter how many hours you get. If you don’t go into your waking hours refreshed, then your slumber’s not done its job properly. However, here you are. It’s early O’ clock in the A.M. and you’ve gotta face the day regardless. No do overs. (Unless you live in an Adam Sandler movie and […]
As a teen, I hated making my bed. To be fair, that was only because my mom would always tell me I didn’t do it right. The pillows weren’t properly fluffed. There was a slight wrinkle between the quilt and comforter. And… did that sheet look even to me? Did it? Did it?! Thus, for […]
“If I fall asleep now, I’ll get four hours.” “Ah, crap. I’ve still gotta go get gas and groceries in the morning. Make that three hours.” “Wait… did I leave the stove on?” The laundry list of shiz to worry about’s like this massive, cerebral twister – gaining momentum and speed and picking up new […]
We’ve covered what to cover your bed and body in for sleep. But what about that stuff we’re covered in already? Our dermal shroud? Does Chanel come with beta or alpha hydroxy acids, Miss Monroe? Because, according to experts – whether you’re naked or not at night – the largest organ of our body also […]
So, I need a new mattress. But I loathe those showrooms visits. And the inconvenience of moving cumbersome furniture around. That’s why – when this Yogabed mattress popped up in my feed – I thought of at least researching it to see if it’s worth the hype. And, after looking at a few different reviews, […]
Saliva streaming from your oral orifice. Boogers caking your optical corners. Revolting respiratory noises coming from your unconscious body while the world goes on without you… Sleep’s about the most the idle, vile, and pointless thing you can do – right? Plus it punts the pedestal from under even the most Goddess-like of us. Not […]
“I’d give anything to get my body back on a regular sleeping schedule…” Oh, would you? How about your phone? Or laptop? All while camping in the Rockies for a week? Yes, while sacrificing technology alone may feel like a wasteland vacation, doing both was the design of a recent sleep study – taking test […]
Bed. It’s the best holiday away from waking life. For seven (Or nine. Or whatever your jobs or kids’ll permit) hours after darkness falls, you can fall into a blissful state of nonexistence. Clock out from the business of living. And (hopefully) arise refreshed tomorrow. But when it comes to this inactive activity, experts suggest […]
“What?! Where am I? Who am I?” At the first sound of my iphone’s sarcastic sounding alarm (I’ve come to loathe that treacle chiming noise) every morning, this’s often the first string of internal inquiries I have for myself. That hateful clanging wakes me into a world of confusion I’m reluctant to rejoin. Here, I […]
Remember, back in the day, when moms and pops read you bedtime tales? And how effing effective it was for falling asleep? Well, I’m here to admit that I still make people do that for me. “Please? Just till I fall asleep?” “You’re a writer. Can’t you just read to yourself? Quietly?” “I can, but […]
