Sleep number bed, absolutely wonderful and worth the money.

What we thought were just old age aches and pains diminished 90% when we started sleeping in it.

It’s really wonderful.

Melatonin is awesome. I had a terrible time sleeping after my sister in law died a few years ago and it was worse in that I did some shift work - work late most nights and then had to work early once a week. I felt like a train wreck with the tylenol PM stuff and thought 'if they can put a man on the moon...' and so I did some research into non narcotic sleep aids - that's how I found melatonin.

Thankfully, I sleep well these days but once and a while I do take 1 mg when I know I will have trouble falling/staying asleep. Even if I don't get 8 hours of sleep, I still feel like a normal functioning person in the AM when I get up - unlike the PM stuff.

I've heard that it also helps people with the seasonal disfunction problem.

I don’t understand the bad reviews. Perhaps early on when they first came out with the beds but we’ve had no problem with ours yet. I don’t know anyone that has one that is disappointed.

About 10 years ago, that article led us to call this company for advice. The guy we talked with gave us a great formula for having a mattress making company nearby build a custom bed.

Basically, we have an inner spring mattress with a specific coil size, duty, and count, with a separate high density foam topper. Since the topper is what wears out first, it’s cheaper to replace the separate topper rather than the entire mattress.

Unfortunately, the local company went paws up several years ago, and since then we’ve been trying to find another mattress builder within driving distance so we can buy a replacement mattress. So far we’re coming up empty within 200 miles or so of NE Oklahoma.

You might try calling Monterey Mattress and asking them for advice. Or maybe they’re shipping out of state these days and could build one for you.

I’m screwed...

LOL. Me too. Have very seldom slept through the night since pregnant with third child 13 years ago. Little kids, teenagers, a mother’s light sleeping and tuned ears, a husband’s snoring, bladder capacity permanently reduced, going back to school full time, and on-call EMS one night a week.

When I start working, it will probably be the night shift. I am so screwed.

It's an interesting biofeedback mechanism...

Sex leads to teenagers.

Teenagers restrict sex.

Cheers!
