What a sheet-y day!
After a long day of running around and dealing with the daily grind all you think about is slipping in between your bed sheets to drift off into a well-earned sleep. Your sheets are your best friend on a fall or winter night. When you crawl into your comfy bed and pull nice clean sheets over your head you can finally smile because the day is over and you can rest.
What are you sleeping on though? Cotton? Jersey? Microfiber? Are you completely satisfied with the feel of your sheets? Now we don’t think one is necessarily better than the other; because it depends on the person using them and the value they associate with the sheets they buy. Basically what we are saying is that it depends on what you find important when looking for sheets.
Jersey sheets are extremely comfortable because they are made from a type of cotton much like that of a tee shirt so they have the feel of your favorite worn out tee. However, since they are made of such fabric, they are also susceptible to shrinking and are therefore supposed to be washed in cold water. However, hot water is recommended when washing sheets to kill all the germs accumulated from sleeping in them every day. If comfort is your only concern then Jersey sheets are an affordable way to do this. Yet, if you have allergies or highly value hygiene, then you may want to choose a different route.
Egyptian cotton has long thin strands, which keeps is woven tightly, and have a higher thread count so they are generally softer. These sheets, although expensive, are said to be the best type of cotton sheet due to its softness and durability. If money is not the concern for you and you want extremely soft sheets, then opt to Egyptian cotton and you will be satisfied.
Microfiber is another very good choice, especially if you are sensitive to dust and have allergies. Microfiber is made from a synthetic material that is high quality and made to feel like Egyptian cotton. The fiber is woven in a way that prevents dust and debris from building up in between the fibers of sheets. This is common in cotton sheets and is why people with allergies use microfiber. It is also not as expensive as Egyptian cotton; making it a very good choice for whatever you are looking for.
Peace. Love. Sleep!
When noise in the bedroom is not so hot.
There is a problem out there that threatens the livelihood of relationships everywhere. It takes over an individual and turns them into a torment to their loved one, tarnishing their love life and threatening their relationship as a whole. This common phenomenon happens in the dark of night and often comes without warning, when you just start to fall asleep. Now, what is this threatening disaster???! Yep, you guessed it…. The SNORING PARTNER!!!! Dun, dun, dun…. *cue Psycho themed music*
Although we know you love your significant other, we also understand that the consistent noise and frequent lapses in their breathing is annoying and stressful. As if worrying about your partner’s potential health risks wasn’t bad enough, you yourself is at great risk for developing health problems including insomnia, irritability, and even weight gain.
A study conducted in 1999 by the Mayo Clinic determined that partners sharing a bed with a chronic snoring individual wake up an average of 21 times an hour!! That is a lot!!! The snorers themselves wake up about 28 times an hour leaving the partner to basically endure and almost as restless night. When this happens night after night, the affects take their toll and both individuals suffer the consequences.
Snoring is so NOT romantic, so lucky for you, we have some tips and products to control your partner’s snoring and keep the noise in the bedroom for Valentine’s Day. ; )
Tip # 1 What’s up Doc??
Now the number one thing to do when snoring gets out of control is to see your doctor. The snoring may be caused by sleep apnea which is a serious condition that basically inhibits breathing during sleep, causing the affected to wake up to catch their breath, making the snoring sound. It is treatable, but vital that it is caught. Therefore, if your partner does have a big problem snoring, especially if they are overweight, see a doctor ASAP.
Tip #2 ZQuiet, a.k.a your lifesaver
If your snoring significant other does not have sleep apnea and is just a nosy sleeper, there is a product you can try. Now there are SO MANY products out there that claim to stop snoring. There are creams, nose strips, mouthpieces, and they all claim to work great. Chances are however, if you have ever taken some of these products home, the results are less than impressive. We wanted to bring you only the best so after reviewing many different kinds of remedies, the best and most effective anti-snoring devise on the market that we found is a mouthpiece called ZQuiet. Basically this comfortable mouthpiece is worn nightly and corrects the jaw position to allow a clearer and direct airway. The snoring is eliminated! That means no more sleeping in separate beds and waking up irritated and groggy. A link to ZQuiet is available below.
Tip # 3 What?? I can’t hear you!!!
If the mouthpiece doesn’t suit your bed partner’s fancy, there is something you yourself can try. It is not as recommended as the mouthpiece but it will get the job done. It sounds simple, but earplugs are being used quite often in relationships where one of the individuals snores. The soft pliable foam ones are recommended because they will cause the least discomfort. However, this should be a last resort because no one should have to wear earplugs just to get a good night’s sleep.
Please don’t resort to fleeing to another room to escape the monstrous noises coming from your partner!! There IS a way to maintain it. Whether you use ear plugs, ZQuiet, or get help from your Doc, it is important to get the assistance needed and to not let your relationship suffer. We hope you all have a great Valentine’s Day. Stay safe and happy snoozing!
Peace, love and a good nights sleep!!!
