I swear, it’s always been “never sleep like this! never sleep like that!”, but thank you for going so so so in depth, even with something as simple as sleep

[-Royalestar-]

Instead of sleeping, I think watching a video about sleep is better

When my urban dwelling kids come to the farm or lake cabin they are amazed at how well they sleep. No lights, sirens, traffic noise etc…dark and quiet

Sleep game-changer: separate blankets. Years ago my husband and I stayed at a hotel where the “king” bed was two twins pushed together, with separate blankets and everything. We slept so much better each having our own blanket, we went out and bought two twin comforters as soon as we got home. He’s always warm and I’m always cold, plus when one of us moves the other doesn’t feel it. We’ve had this arrangement for a decade and now whenever we stay somewhere and have to sleep under one blanket it drives us nuts!

I had awful sleep problems but I found that I needed to listen to something really boring, so I listened to politicians talking in Parliament and it's like magic 😂😂

I am currently watching this at 4am instead of going to sleep

If you’re thinking about a sleep divorce, I suggest trying a *blanket* divorce first. My spouse and I sleep in the same bed but with our own blankets and it helps a TON with reducing the movements that wake you up.

0:10 and instead of sleeping I’m watching this magnificent video 😁

My room once got down to 59 degrees bc it was a cool spring night, plus my fan. I could pile my blankets on and it felt so good. Best night of sleep i ever got

[Ljokerz]

4:35 that's 15.5C to 20C for the rest of the world

My past wife and I almost never slept in the same bed once we had an established relationship. I think it helped us immensely because it was the only way we could get a good night's rest.

[Breezely]

I have a method for going to sleep that's very specific. I basically make a nest of pillows and blankets, get the lighting low, have an audio story on so low I can barely hear it. I alternate between side sleeping and front sleeping. I need a colder room and thicker blankets, especially on my feet.

Re. thread count: I worked at a shop known for its bedding range. Two things customers told me: one, that the lower thread count sheets were cooler in summer; and two, polycotton bedding is EXTREMELY flammable. (He didn't tell me how he found that out.)

[darrensdemise]

I know this might sound weird but you're like a dad I never had, I hope you know how much you inspire teens like me around the world. Keep it up, doctor dad!

White noise can also help people to fall asleep. The noise masks disruptive sounds and creates a calming environment. It promotes faster sleep onset, and deeper rest, and can be soothing for babies.

I have never woken up and felt refreshed! I am always groggy.

Another thing about bedding made of natural over synthetic materials: synthetic materials are usually oil/plastic based, which while in most situations are fine, in the unfortunate event of a house fire, they will catch and burn a lot faster than natural fibres. _Always_ go 100% natural materials for your bedding. It could quite literally save your life!

“How long should it take for you to fall asleep?” Mike, “10 to 20 minutes” video ends. 😂

Spicy Coffee Cocktail is the perfect drink before sleeping. :D

My parents both snore and have been sleeping in separate rooms for about 12 years or so, and it's working out really well for them.
