Since I moved in with Logan in late September we've just used his bed. He had a full-size and I only had a twin, so to fit both of us we used him. So that was almost 3 months ago, right? Yep, well for almost 3 months now I've had the worst insomnia I've ever had (4am most nights, 5 or 6am others). Plus I've been waking up in the morning with 10x my normal pain and exhaustion, it's even harder to get up in the morning... and I've been missing work and school. No bueno! (Oh, and it's because that mattress of his felt like a BRICK to sleep on!!)
So last night I finally dragged Logan to the cheapo-mattress store and we looked at some beds. We agreed to split the cost. I have to say I didn't walk in there expecting such an amazing mattress.
That was just last night. They delivered it this evening and right now, as I type, I'm laying on the most comfortable mattress in the world. It's a mixture of all things soft (memory foam...other plushy things...some sort of space-age technology material that you sink into and feel amazing... and probably more...I don't know). Anyways the BEST PART is that we also got an electronic bedframe with a remote that lets you raise the head and/or the feet of the bed seperately! Akhdfskdjhfsh.
Yes, it does look and function like a hospital bed. But I don't care! :D It's super comfy and lets me semi-sit up to type or write or watch tv. It's so wonderful!
Glorious sleep, I can't wait til I fall into your realm tonight. Just laying here in this new bed is making me soooo sleepy... :) I have a feeling this will be the first night I'm falling asleep before 4am in a looong time! And I'm crossing my fingers that in the morning I will have gotten so much great sleep that I'll actually be able to get up on time for once! Maybe I'll even have time to do my breathing treatments I'm supposed to do, for once. :P I'm just hoping more than anything that when I wake up tomorrow morning, it won't feel like I was run over by a tank. Maybe just a truck like I used to feel when I woke up. hah!
And another good thing about it is that I can raise the head on bad-lung nights. It used to be that when my lungs were acting up and I was coughing up a lung all night, if I laid down flat the gunk would settle and get worse but if I sat up it'd be a little better and easier to cough up. So of course I used to have to go try and sleep reclined on the couch or propped up in bed with a gazillion pillows. Both strategies helped my lungs but made it uncomfortable and impossible to sleep. Now I can just click a button and be able to take good care of my lungs and still be comfy!
hahah... I don't think anyone's ever been this excited about a mattress before! :P I know, I'm weird. But this is just amazing!
You know... I know I have a lot more to update since Thanksgiving... but I'm getting so sleepy. How about I update you tomorrow? ;)
Goodnight!
I may even wear my CPAP tonight I'm so happy....
lol, probably not.
