For a variety of reasons I have recently found myself talking about sleep.
Only this morning my wife Babs said as I arrived with her cup of tea in bed (aren’t you impressed?) – greeted me with “Oh I didn’t hear the alarm go off!”
She basically doesn’t need to as I get up to do my stepper exercises (even more impressed – huh?) and follow that up with waking her with room service.
The thing is that Babs does sleep very deeply and always has done compared to me even when our children were babies. I as a mere male am always the one that will wake if there is any disturbance of any kind. Could it be anything as chivalrous as we macho men are genetically built to be on our guard to protect the gentler sex?
Well maybe not..
I have noticed though that when we are away from home neither of us sleep particularly well. We always automatically take up our normal sides of the shared bed – (where is this going?) but no matter how comfortable the bed we just don’t sleep as well as at home.
Of course it might be other environmental issues – but in fact I have always suspected it is because we are sharing the same mattress. However I do sleep in a shared bed at home so what is the difference.
Now let me explain.
One of the things that attracted us to the house we currently live in is a rather special bed. It had to be left with the house as it basically is built in to the room. It is a large double bed but has a divided structure with a mechanism that will allow the top of the bed to be raised as a back rest – and even the foot of the bed to be elevated if you so wanted. The best thing of all about it is that this works for each person independently – so one person can be seated reading and the other flat and fast asleep. Obviously this has to have two mattresses rather than the one.
So to all intents and purposes Babs and I are sleeping in separate beds but not – if you get my drift.
So it was interesting to read – Bed Sharing ‘drains men’s brains‘
Maybe that should be retitled – Mattress Sharing ‘drains men’s brains’ as I think I have found the ideal solution.

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.
