1 day agoI Slept on Tempur-Pedic's Wildest Smart Bed
The Tempur-ActiveBreeze smart bed features internal fans for temperature regulation and detailed sleep tracking, but may not suit those with joint pain.
Despite regularly getting six to eight hours of zeds, I'd feel dreadful upon waking: inertia, stiffness, lack of energy. Springing out of bed was tough. I blamed diminished efforts with my diet (not helped by a broken oven) and not bothering with my usual yoga routine. I'd had plenty to keep me awake this year: my son's exams and university departure, chaos surrounding home decoration and long-drawn-out oven repairs, and a busy schedule. I was sleeping, but I wasn't feeling the benefit of resting.
When you think about it, you likely poke a foot out, too, probably without even realizing it. It's natural to want to slide a few toes into the cool night air, especially when you can't fall asleep. It feels like an instant reset, and may help you fall asleep pretty much instantly - and there are quite a few reasons for that.
