What did you learn today?

#885

I had to train myself to be a sidesleeper due to a very bad neck - I still miss sleeping on my tummy :frowning:

(Lazy, Dirty Keto 😝) #886

Ugh it’s so comfortable to sleep on your stomach :expressionless: I guess I’ll get one of those body pillows and try side sleeping. How did you train yourself to no longer be a tummy sleeper?

(Running from stupidity) #887

My wife has been thrilled to discover that, since losing 15kg, she a) can sleep on her stomach again, and b) no longer hates our stupidly expensive mattress.

YOU PEOPLE!

My brain keeps wanting me to do this, it’s annoying.

#888

I was pretty desperate/motivated due to the pain :grimacing: I did get a body pillow - sort of an anti-roll device - but also invested in something like this

That looks perfect, I’ll have to invest in one :blush: thank you!

Jealous that @juice ‘s wife can sleep on her stomach with no issues

(Running from stupidity) #890

With my neck issues, I’ve used memory foam pillows like that for years and years. Very helpful.

#891

Same :smile:

I can’t be without it now. I take it with me when I travel.

(Running from stupidity) #892

Yes, I do the same thing. Those crappy no-structure pillows that are everywhere are USELESS.

#893

When I first got it I thought ‘how the hell does anyone sleep on anything this firm’? Now when they start to soften up I have to buy a new one :smile: Man they’re good.

(Running from stupidity) #894

Have you found a brand you prefer? I really need to replace mine.

I know Aldi have some on special currently, and I was thinking about that, given I’ve found them all to be pretty similar over time.

Well, I think they do, anyway.

#895

Mine is an ‘allcare’ - I buy it from my physio’s office & probably replace it once a year or so :slightly_smiling_face:

(Empress of the Unexpected) #896

I just started using one last week. They are very comfortable.

I learned that Dr. Satchin Panda who promotes “time limit eating windows” does not promoted a 6 hr. window. He says any TLE window of 8-10 hrs, will be very good for just about anyone. If it is 12 hrs. occasionally, that should still be ok as well especially if you eat the last meal 3-4 hrs. before going to bed, the more hours before bed the better. .

This is a good @half hr. interview with him about it and his reseach:

So I am doing an experiment to see how I do with the 8 hr. protocol. It is sure a mix up from my IF/ET routines.

(Running from stupidity) #898

Every time I see “Dr Panda” I relearn that I think it’s from a comedy skit. I can’t help it :slight_smile:

(KCKO, KCFO đŸ„„) #899

There is also a popular children’s game called Dr. Panda. A google search comes up with Dr. Panda that is full of links to it. You have to add Sanchin to his name to get hits about him.

It makes me think of a big black and white animal munching around on bamboo usually.

When I took an overnight ferry in Korea, people slept on the floor, and pillows were provided. They were semi-hard blocks several inches high, and covered in leather or something similar. I didn’t try sleeping, so I don’t know whether they were comfortable or not.

I was reading about the famous Pillow Book musings of a court lady in Japan 1000 years ago. Apparently she acquired a pile of notebooks and proposed to use them to make a pillow. (I guess she wrote in them instead.) The Korean ferry pillows might have been made out of stack of notebooks.

I was raised with no pillow at all, and I’m not a pillow connoisseur. But I use silk satin pillowcases to prevent hair damage. I have very fragile hair, and it breaks off if I sleep on cotton or synthetic pillowcases.

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #901

You poor thing! It’s so sad that you have to spend your life sleeping on silk and satin.

I know what it’s like, because my doctor insists—absolutely insists—that I have to stay in air conditioning as much as possible in summertime, because of my asthma. I really hate it, but it’s doctor’s orders! :grin::grin::grin::grin:

(Running from stupidity) #902

They also told us to eat lots of carbs, so you feel free to ignore him.

(Running from stupidity) #903

They do, but they’re pretty soft, no no deal.
