Barley husk pillows are the bomb.
Ultra firm but able to squish with your head. Stay cool too
Is there a particular brand you recommend?
The one I got was from a place called ComfyComfy
I don’t know if they are still around
Thank you!
Not gluten-free though
I’m 50 and my occupational therapist just ordered me a $571 (fully covered by healthcare benefits) side-sleeping shoulder freedom pillow. Am a very happy girl.
40+ here and the only reason why I don’t sometimes sleep well is because I chose to play games until 2am.
I sleep in the pod of goo that Neo left, it’s alright
As far as goo pods go, it’s not the worst you could do.
It’s late here and I’m tired so I first read “I sleep in the poo of god” and thought about it for a while before reading the rest of the sentence and then reading the whole thing again…
Poo of god is kind of an interesting analogy for the matrix.
I just read it as sleeping in neo’s goo. Thinking they must be intimately involved with Keanu Reeves.
What does it smell like?
Well, a pack of batteries, more precisely.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon the person or Cinnamon the spice?
The horse
The desktop environment
a Crocs store
I can feel myself dying
I sleep in a big bed with my wife
In my 20s and made a sleep pb recently. 16hrs continuous
I am at the stage where I either sleep 4 hours or sleep 12 hours
Yea my sleep schedule is destroyed
And the best part is you don’t know which one you’ll get when you go to bed.
Barely standing awake at 10 fighting to keep your eyes open when you finally go to bed? Wide awake at 1 in the morning.
Browsing the internet at midnight because you are clearly not tired? You open your eyes and it’s mid afternoon.
Doesn’t help that I live too far north that it’s just always dark or cloudy
I wake up and it could be any time of the day until I check my clock
I actually pine for that type of environment though I suspect it gets dreary after awhile.
Winter can be if the weather stays warm and wet. For me if there’s snow on the ground it’s fine. With a full moon it almost feels like daytime.
The summers are incredible though! You do need to invest in blackout shades.
I live in California where it’s almost always sunny except recently. It gets hard for me because I love grey weather and snow and stuff. I can always go up the mountain for the snow but I want to be trapped in my home for a week or something due to snow I just romanticize that sort of thing.
A touch more than dreary if you ask me. We’re just mobile plants, turns out, after months without the sun, your body just like… doesn’t do as well. You get more easily depressed, sleep changes, and even diet problems tend to creep in.
45: $20,000 in sinus surgery so you aren’t halfway suffocating while you sleep.
Got a coworker where his sinuses just built up again or something after a few years and his doctor told him he’d have to have it done again. Best of luck to you.
cannot confirm, there has never been a time in my life when I was able to fall asleep easily when I should, not in my childhood, not teenage years, nor more recently :(
How much do you exercise?
Almost not at all tbh
Exercise more, it helps a lot.
Humans were supposed to be walking 10-15km/day…hurray modern life and car culture :|
At some point in my 40s I started doing that medieval “first sleep” and “second sleep” thing where my eyes just blast wide awake at 2am. I don’t have to pee, I’m not uncomfortable, I just wake up. I read, take the dog out, brush my teeth again… After awhile I go back to sleep and wake up at the normal time.
I guess it is kind of nice to do a patrol around and make sure everything is cool, and the dog loves it. It’s just kind of weird.
I don’t have to pee,
I don’t need water.
that vodka will turn to urine eventually
Long ago, when humans lived by daylight, we likely lived this way, with a “hole” in the middle of sleep, where people would wake up, putter around, chat and tell stories, have something to eat, and then go back to sleep. There was a lot less going on back then, people didn’t have access even to books and candles were costly anyway so there was no reason to stay up late. I’ve had the same issue myself although these days, it’s just the 2 times to pee.
Strange to imagine not having much to do.
I’ve been doing that as well, there is periods where I’m just awake in the middle of the night.
I think a lot of us do that and after awhile I started taking note of the amount of time I was asleep before waking so alert and ready to go. Now I set my alarms to coincide with that. For me it’s about 3.5 hours so I have one alarm that wakes me at 2:30am than another for 7am. Seems to work for me though my wife and friends say I’m crazy for waking myself up in the middle of the night. But for me there’s that calming realization I have nearly 4 more hours of sleep before waking up for good. Makes those last few hours even more precious.
I think my neighbours are like this
I recently learned (while staying up late trying to shoot a rat in my backyard) that they go to bed around 8-10 pm, then are up for an hour or so sometime around 1-2am, and it is fairly consistent
I started taking a tiny dose of trazodone at bedtime to help me with that. It’s not nearly as habit forming as all the “real” sleep drugs.
Same. I’m over 50, and my wake up time is about 3:30am. I will read, or catchup on email, or play an hour or two of a PC game. Then go back to bed tired and get snuggled, and wake up at 8 for work.
I slept on one of those pillows but I kept waking up with my arm extended straight out for some reason.
And now I feel gross.
The pillow was making you gay for Mike Pillow, that was your hand reaching out to fondle his balls.
a warm noise machine, best investment i ever did.
Pretty much my wife since 35. Good news is she no longer gets mad at me for sleeping like a rock with little effort.
Idk man, I’m 35 and I just go to bed
