Hmmm... I always heard that you shouldn’t keep plants in your bedroom. Maybe an old wives tale but my mom never allowed them.

  Because at night most plants consume oxygen and put out carbon dioxide, thus taking away from air for you to breathe. This is what I was told when I was 11 by a German teacher, and I took her at her word.

Ok, so I ordered this because I’m pregnant and I actually don’t love it BUT I can see it being amazing for a lot of people.

  I was going to say I NEED THIS but then I realised that my husband might have some words to say about having this thing in our full size bed. Definitely putting a regular body pillow on the list, though.

  Holy shit, it’s like they made this JUST FOR ME. I always sleep on my side, curl up a little bit, put a pillow between my legs, hug my head pillow, and scooch my butt and back right up against my boyfriend. No joke, it takes me a few minutes to achieve my ideal sleeping position before I can finally think “Aaaaannnnnd, yep! There it is! Time to shut off, now.”
  
  This is going on my Christmas list.

Oh, honey, please what is this amateur nonsense. I am the Queen of Sleep. I am a sleep pro. You get an A for effort, but your execution is all wrong.

$34 for a single string of white lights? PFFFFT, please. Everybody, get a set of xmas lights the day after christmas when that shit is on super-duper sale, for like $2. For extra fancyness, you can swag some white tulle around the lights, and your bedroom will be like a goddamn fairy garden. You can get a whole bolt of that shit for $12 on amazon.

Chamomile tea tastes like cat piss, and this is straight from the mouth of Dame Judi Dench, so don’t argue with me. Celestial Seasonings’ Sleepytime, however, is a worthwhile nighttime ritual. They have multiple flavors and even a fortified version for extra sleepiness (does not come in a fancy tin, though, so I’ll give you that one).

That “air circulator?” Who the fuck pays $70 for a noisy fan? No, my children. What you need, especially this time of year, is a humidifier. You need moisture in the air - it’s good for your skin, it’s good for your sinuses, and it doubles as a beautiful white noise machine.

Also, the best sleep song is Eric Whitacre’s Sleep.

  I live in the Twin Cities metro area, and I missed that concert I linked to, and it is one of the top 5 biggest regrets of my life. No joke.

  Mine too, although that's usually because it has been stolen by a cat.

Is there a reason why a fan is being called an “air circulator” now?

Although I will say that I am a professional sleeper and there is nothing I love more than the whir of a ceiling fan. Or humidifier. Or anything that makes white noise, really.

  pretty sure it’s just a marketing thing- all current baby advice says to make sure air is moving in your baby’s room, especially in the summer when it’s hot/winter when it’s warm and stuffy with the heat on!

  My boyfriend loves that but white noise drives me INSANE! So does a fan blowing on me. I feel like it just makes all my little hairs tickle my face all night like a million tiny gnats...

This list really speaks to me.

I have a Philips light-up alarm clock that I never use. Open for trade. I want a faux fur throw.

  Okay, I am officially going straight to CVS after work and picking some up. After months of setting up good habits, I have been getting absolutely garbage sleep for the past month, and I have the Fitbit records to prove it. Maybe this will help, and I will no longer be watching shitty movies at 2 AM because I got bored with hours of lying in bed not falling asleep.

  I can’t sleep on Ambien. AMBIEN. I mean, I could at first, then I acclimated to it? Melatonin works for me. Every night. I’ve also had success using in in kids with behavioral issues, ADHD and autistic children who tend to also have trouble with sleeping.
  
  That does NOT mean it works for everyone. But it is certainly worth a try.

These might be fightin words but Melatonin is some god damn bullshit. It doesn’t work and then when I finally fall asleep I have horrible horrible nightmares. Also the only time in my life that I have sleepwalked (sleptwalked?) was when I took melatonin.

  I have never had that experience, but my husband also says that he gets super fucked up sleep on melatonin - he sleeps, but it isn’t restful, and his dreams are super jacked up and weird. My sister takes it nightly, sleeps like a cherub, and cannot live without it. I think it’s like cilantro - some people’s bodies just aren’t made for it!

  Ambien gives me the WORST SLEEP EVER. Melatonin does nothing for me. I think I’ve built up a tolerance to it because I take a small amount in the Spring and Fall to stave off cluster headaches.
