Who Needs A Good Night’s Sleep? #NaturesSleep

I’m a Nature’s Sleep ambassador and receive Nature’s Sleep products to review. All opinions are completely my own.

There really isn’t much I love more than sleep, and I sleep better than a baby. (Because babies are a snuffling noisy mess when they sleep.)

Once I’m in bed, I’m snoozing in seconds. It didn’t used to be that way, because I sleep with these GIANT wrist sleep supports on my arms.

carpal tunnel syndrome-night wrist support braces

I can’t bend my wrists, and I can barely move my fingers. It feels great! No really, it does. I have bad carpal tunnel syndrome, and they save my life, BUT they’re bulky, awkward and hot. So I need ideal sleep conditions to forget I’m wearing them.

Fortunately, I sleep like a dead person (who’s still alive) when I’m on my Nature’s Sleep mattress and pillow. My kids make fun of me for it, because I I totally look like I’m in a coffin resting for the hereafter. (Just practicin’ though.)

sleeping with wrist braces

Wouldn’t it be funny if they buried me with my wrist braces, for real? Ha! I’d love it. 🙂

    I used to sleep so horribly before we got our memory foam mattress, I’d have nightmares all the time. It was so weird but as soon as we got our new mattress a couple of years ago I started sleeping so well. My husband says it’s just a coincidence, but I know better – the old mattress was so bad it was giving me nightmares!

    I am a chronic insomniac and a good mattress makes all the difference in the world. With my new memory foam mattress I sleep better than a baby now too. I don’t see how you can sleep flat out like that though. I’m a side sleeper. Good luck with the carpal tunnel syndrome. That has got to be uncomfortable (to say the least) trying to write this blog with something like that.

    Boy do those bring back memories! I used to use them when I was a full time cake decorator. That really killed my wrists. Now, I try to be proactive and avoid the problems when I feel them coming on. You’re right that it’s quite hard to get comfortable when you can’t bend your wrists!

    Sleep..that sounds like something I used to get before I became a mom to four! I can relate to the wrist braces. I have had to use them before but during the night I would rip them off and I would find them on the floor! Oops!

    My cat prevents me from getting a good night’s sleep. She takes up most of my side of the bed, including part of my pillow. And if she’s awake, she’s tapping my face to be pet. Oh, and I totally remember the pain of carpal tunnel (I had it during pregnancy. THE WORST.) I do not wish that pain on my worst enemy!

    I used to be a really sound sleeper until the kids came around and even though they’re teens now, I still wake up at the slightest noise. I have slight carpal tunnel in my wrist but I’m hoping it doesn’t affect my sleep likes yours does but these braces look quite comfortable.

But I still don’t sleep well. So it compounds. *sigh* I tried Ambien and it works like a MIRACLE for me. But the docs act like I”m asking for the moon over it so I don’t have any any more. I would love a softer mattress, too. At least even if I do not sleep, I could lay there more comfy!! LOL

    I adore my children, but one little turkey monster (ahem, Elena) keeps waking up at 4 and 5am because she has kicked off her blanket and wants it back on, or she can’t find her stuffed bear. Every. Night. I have tried telling her to put it on herself, that Bear is right next to her (it’s always right next to her), to play quietly when she wakes up, etc. It doesn’t work. She just cries and cries. I can’t ignore her, because she cries louder and louder until I think I’m going to have police knocking on my door wondering why my kid is keeping the neighbors up. Then she’s up for the day by 6 and I am just dragging! It’s not even 9:30pm right now and I could literally have been asleep for 4 hours and still sleep through the night. Except for the part where I have to care for my children and do things like feed them. There are just not enough hours in the night for me!
