    How to End Painful Night-time Leg Cramps Now

    June 7, 2019 /

    Have you ever had one of those nights where you wake up with a pain in your calf that simply won’t go away? Trust me, I know your pain. Painful night-time leg cramps are common here. Every few weeks I bolt out of bed at night and have to walk out that painful knot. I’ve tried sleeping through it or massaging the calf, but once it wakes me up the only way to stop it seems to be the walk about. Strangely this is one odd health quirk I think I inherited from my Mom. I still remember her bolting out of bed at least once a week with painful…

    Where to Find Luxury Sheets Without the Price

    January 21, 2019 /

    This is a sponsored post and I received product for consideration here. Luxury sheets are something that I rarely buy for myself. Honestly, have you seen the prices on some of the sheets out there? I can choose between buying wonderful, comfortable sheets or a week’s worth of groceries. I’m sorry, but with two teenagers in the house, groceries win out. New sheets are one of those items, like towels, that I just don’t shop for until we have to. That means I usually sleep on sheets that are good enough, but that aren’t exactly super cozy. That’s why I’m glad I found California Design Den. They have wonderful luxury…

    What You Need to Know About Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response Now

    October 3, 2018 /

    Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is the latest relaxation tool and Youtube craze. By now you might have heard about it. If not, then consider this your ASMR guide. Basically, ASMR is a tool often used to relax after stressful days or to help people fall asleep. I discovered this tool on Youtube about six months ago and it has become extremely valuable in our home. Both of my daughters actually use ASMR for that purpose. It’s an excellent way to unwind after a particularly stressful day or to prepare the body for sleep, especially if you’re a person with anxiety disorder, like my oldest girl. Since she started using…

    June 25, 2018 /

    Melatonin is one of the most common sleep aids to be found. It is readily available as an over-the-counter supplement in almost every pharmacy and big box store that has a pharmacy section. It’s generally considered to be a safe drug since it is actually a pill-form of a naturally occurring hormone produced by the brain. These melatonin facts will help you to understand a bit more about this common sleep aid. Is melatonin safe for children, for you? Is it even necessary?

    Buying sheets can be a comforting thing or an exercise in frustration. After all, there’s nothing better than a nice, cozy bed. It makes such a welcoming environment when you lay down, and your bed wraps you up in a restful hug. But not all sheets are created equal. Sheets use varying types and qualities of thread to make them last longer or feel softer. It’s more involved than you might think. So let’s take a look at what you need to know when buying sheets.

    Better Sleep This Holiday Season with The Mediflow Floating Comfort Pillow

    November 22, 2017 /

    This post may contain affiliate links. Better sleep is my gift to my husband for the holiday season. He has neck and shoulder pain, is a light sleeper and a snorer. For weeks he’s been complaining about our pillows, so I figured it was time to replace a couple of the worn out pillows in our room. Years ago we had a great water pillow but it got misplaced during a move. So, let’s just say it was time for a newer updated pillow. This Christmas, I’m gifting him better sleep with The Mediflow Floating Comfort Pillow.

    Better Sleep with Our Douglas Bed Canadian Mattress

    An eco-friendly Canadian mattress company that helps with better sleep? It’s about time. Better sleep is in high demand in a lot of homes. Everybody wants a good night’s sleep. Unfortunately, that can be elusive for a lot of people. Better sleep starts in the morning with good habits, and it hinges on having a good mattress too. Our old mattress was well over ten years old. And my husband has had minor complaints about sleep for months now. When he injured his shoulder in the spring at work, his sleep deteriorated even more, which meant I also suffered. When I heard about Douglas Bed by Novosbed I decided it was time to make better sleep a…
