My husband is a hottie. Literally and figuratively but no more so than when we are in bed- trying to get some sleep on a midsummers night. He runs like a proverbial radiator whinging constantly that he is hot, and I with the covers pulled up high. Needless to say, there is a lot of arm flapping and feet kicking of doonas, which doesn’t always lead to pillow talk, this is especially so in these in-between seasons.
So I’m not really sure where I heard of this Swedish life hack to successful living but it seems so simple but at the same time, I’m not so sure because – design.
The simple Swedish life hack that could save your sleep? Its two quilts as on one bed.
This simple solution has been embraced by the Swedes forever and as the fifth happiest people on earth, who are we to argue. So clever that Ikea launched a successful interiors bundle last year called TOG-ether bundle to the Brits. Couples could select two single quilts with varying degree of insulation instead of a Double quilt.
In our house, we have something similar going on with a Quilt and an extra blanket on the bed. Although generally through the night one gets tugged one way or another and come midnight one of us is happy. But two quilts is a crazy good idea also. Saves a whole bunch of bed flapping by all concerned.
However, I have so many questions beyond the promised land of a good night sleep? Like what becomes of the top sheet? Gah! Does the bed still look pretty when its made?
The simple Swedish life hack that could save your sleep, have you tried it? I would love to know.
