An Unusually Brilliant Way to Get a Good Night’s Sleep in a Shared Bed
Unless you’re Scandinavian, you probably haven’t heard of the 2-duvet system
It’s next to impossible to be healthy, fit and productive if you haven’t had a good night’s sleep. As a long-term insomniac, I know whereof I speak.
Earlier this year I came across an idea that changed my life by improving the quality of my sleep. One of those random-but-not-random FaceBook videos showed me various Indian women giving marriage advice, and one segment really got my attention.
The advice that stood out consisted of only two words: “separate blankets”. The woman’s eyes grew intense as she leaned in to the camera and, while nodding, slowly repeated—“Se-par-ate Blan-kets!”
And just like that, a shining new synaptic path was forged in my brain.
Years of cover stealing — as both perpetrator and victim — flashed before my eyes. Between myself, my husband, and children crawling into the bed in the middle of the night, there was always someone uncovered and uncomfortable.
It never occurred to me that things didn’t have to be like this!
I don’t know about India, but it seems that in Scandinavia and some parts of Europe it’s perfectly normal…
