I do understand where Tertia Albertyn is coming from in her blog entry “Sleep – The New Foreplay”
In summary she has a sleeping arrangement proposal.
Now:
Sleep in same bed as partner = restless / disturbed night = tiredness = lack of interest touchy feely and thingy
Proposed:
Sleep separate beds = good nights sleep = alive and full of life = er…. well you know
It is amazing how important sleep is for a healthy lifestyle in every way. Only this week some research has linked lack of sleep with obesity in children as just one further example.
The thing that prompted me to write something about this topic though is that my wife Babs and I have found the ideal bed to overcome all the problems. In fact it was one of the things that most attracted us to choosing the house we are living in now. The bed is fabulous and whenever we are away from home we realise what a blessing it is.
Bed manufacturers take note.
It is a large double bed but with a complete division of the base and mattress. Each half is adjustable and you can just pull a lever and elevate the top part into a bed rest type of arrangement. Each half can be adjusted independently so that one partner can be reading propped up and the other sleeping flat. Or of course both sides flat and taking exercise or whatever.
With only one double mattress on a bed the movement of one partner is bound to be felt by the other. With our bed arrangement I can toss and turn as much as I like and Babs isn’t disturbed at all.
Downside is that the bed is more or less built in and there is no chance of moving it if we should ever move. It is also quite wide so large duvets are essential.
Talking of which – what solution is there for duvet hogging?

About Keith Watson
Hi - I am Keith Watson.
This blog is dedicated to Banger - a teacher from my teenage years who - at least once a week - insisted upon cracking the hilarious - and I have to say - never heard before line "What's on Watson?".
I would smile demurely - the rest of the class would fall about with sides aching - and life would go on for another week.
'Wats-on My Mind' I have decided will assist me personally as well as be of interest to others (I hope) who share my challenges. It will help keep me organised and document my activities so that I know what I did yesterday.
You think I am joking!!
I have been in the website development game since 1993 and have been involved with over 2000 website builds (with the help of my fantastic team of freelance programmers)
It was only in the last two years though that I have moved over to making money for myself on line and in particular linking up with an amazing talent called Adam Eason to produce and distribute self help and hypnotherapy products.
As a result of looking to promote these products I have downloaded hundreds of internet marketing articles and e-books, studied countless reports, tested list building tactics, butterflied, boot-camped, buzzed, adsensed, affiliated, met a jerk, jv'ed, plr given-awayed, and generally suffered from information overload.
My computer - presumably in a fit of pique or simply demanding a holiday has given up the ghost on at least two occassions - causing me even more stress.
Oh this simple business of making money online.
BUT the great news is that it is all working and our list has grown - I have found some gurus I have complete faith in - and Adam and I are actually making money from our endeavours.
Some way to go but I am more relaxed and can spot a phoney over hyped, sexed up, must have latest product which you must either buy or if not, simply fade into oblivion. There’s not room on this Internet for the two of us.
This ramble of an introduction is really to set the scene for I am sure an interesting journey which I invite you to join. In fact I want you to help me find the right tools, scripts, plugins etc. etc, that will catapult me into the stratosphere of success. I hope you will be there with me.
I don't just consider success in a monetary sense. I so want to help some friends of mine who are involved in Christian missionary work in some pretty harrowing parts of this world. If I can bring any help to their missions that will give me more satisfaction than anything else.
I really, really do love this web stuff and the people you meet. I am convinced that this powerful technology can be harnessed to do some good.
