For one reason or another I’ve never required more than a few hours of sleep. In fact, if I get more than eight hours I’m useless. Sometimes, coffee can’t even bring me back from the brink after an overindulgent night of sleep. As I’ve gotten older I’ve noticed that there seem to be a few weeks in the winter where this is the exception. Maybe I’m part Grizzly Bear, maybe I’m just getting old. For whatever reason, there are a few weeks in the months of December and January where I can snooze for over 10 hours on some nights. I suppose this makes up for the summer months when I can easily survive on 4 hours of rest.
One thing that’s key to a good night of sleep is quality pillows. I didn’t really realize this until I replaced my pillows that I’d had since college…and I graduated a few years ago. Since my 4-6 week hibernation period was approaching, I decided to spring for some Tempur-Pedic neck pillows. There are two things you should know about these pillows. First, they are the apex of human innovation when it comes to sleep engineering. Second, you will pay a hefty price for them (relatively speaking). Good thing Platrium Deals came to my rescue once again. My hibernation period has never been so efficient. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go lay down.
