Thoughts from an Insomniac
I started suffering from insomnia around January of this year. I had a lot of personal things going on (going through a tough break up) and sleep became scarce. Unfortunately, this followed me to Florida. I love living in Florida, and my mental health has been in such a good place, but I just couldn’t seem to shake the insomnia. I’m learning to live with it pretty well, though. As long as I can find some way to keep myself occupied during a bad bout, eventually sleep finds me and I sleep for as much time as I can before I have to start my day. I’ve also gotten pretty good at functioning on little sleep and catching up whenever I can.

ASMR: What's This All About?
So, let's kick this off with the obvious question: what is ASMR? ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It's a strange name that doesn't really explain what the thing is, but the term is used to describe the sensation when a person has a specific physical response to hearing a specific type of noise. It is most often described as "head tingles." It's when your scalp perks up in goosebumps, which then causes a relaxing sensation with it. It's like getting a scalp massage without being touched. When the sensation gets stronger, the tingles can manifest in goosebumps down the neck and arms as well. Millions of people claim to experience this sensation, and while it all sounds like it's bullshit, the thousands of ASMR videos on YouTube would suggest that maybe it isn't a bunch of crap.

Productivity, Energy, and Complete Relaxation? Prepare Yourselves... This Is Not a Drill
A year ago, if you would have asked me about adjustable bed bases, my answer would have been simple; they are for hospitals and people with serious medical conditions. I could not have been more wrong. Similarly, if you would have asked me about a mattress being delivered in a box to my front door, there is a high probability that I would have called you crazy. Again, I could not have been more wrong.
