Sleeples

Sleep is good, good sleep is even better. The internet is full of tips on how to have a good night’s sleep, some of these tips are even good and you can apply them easily if you are inclined to do so. One of the tips is not to have a television in the bedroom but watching tv in your pajamas is quite fun, especially if you can fall asleep and the tv has a sleep timer. Another tip is not to have any electronics around, but scrolling on tiktok is entertaining and  there are so many funny dog videos out there. But more seriously , ever since people moved their office to home and not having a dedicated office space in your house brought us the issue of having  your work space in your bedroom. That is a real problem when you can’t get a mental break as the last thing you see at night and the first thing you see in the morning is that work laptop. Some of us do not have a big house with a dedicated office space that allows us to close the door mentally at the end of our work day. Closing the door mentally is not easy, not from work and not from our everyday life. I really envy those people who can compartmentalize  and once they are done with work or have other daily issues  they can stop, not worry any more and just sleep peacefully. Mediatitaing is great for some of us however not all of us are able to do it.

But sleeping tips are one thing, what about the bed you sleep in. Mattress and pillow are probably as important as well.  Choosing a mattress is not easy, especially when there are two people sharing a bed. Yes there are those split ones but I personally do not like them and I am sure they work for other couples.

Our last three mattresses were all bought online, my husband researched, read all the reviews until he decided on what to order. I gave up, you can’t really try a mattress on your laptop. Unfortunately for him I hated every one of them, and he was not happy with me  when I told him that I believe in jail they get better mattresses. Fortunately for us, our mattresses were bought at Costco, which meant we could return them.

Like everything in life, nothing is simple, not even sleep.
