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

What’s preventing you from getting a good night’s sleep?
you are a brave woman posting “sleeping” pictures.. ha ha ha
Before I got my new mattress, I slept horribly. Now I get a good night’s sleep just about every night.
Good matress is SO important! It may be costly but it’s totally worth it!
I am always up in the night to go potty or wake up randomly. Rarely do I sleep thru the night, but when I do, it is SO nice!!
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!
You have got to be the best and funniest mom! My creative juices escape me right now but I would love to win!
I can’t sleep with anything on, a good night for me includes a good mattress.
Those wrist braces are scary! My husband tosses and turns all night, which keeps me awake. Maybe a new mattress would help.
I can’t find a pillow I like. Other than that Im good. IU have a pillow top water bed, that I love!
I’ve heard so many wonderful things about Natures Sleep! I currently own a Sealy Posturepedic mattress, and although it’s comfortable, it doesn’t provide me with a good night’s sleep. I’m not in the market for a new mattress, but when the time comes, I’ll definitely give Natures Sleep a try.
My husband will surely be a perfect participant as he always have a problem sleeping at night. Probably, he just need a comfy pillow. 🙂
I’ve heard such great things about Nature’s sleep! The picture of you demonstrating is perfect! I always sleep with my hands under my head though.
We need a new mattress desperately and I am probably going to be sleeping like you soon because of all the typing I do.
I would love to get a good night’s sleep. Unfortunately, it wasn’t in the cards for me this past week but maybe that will change during the long holiday weekend.
Well the pillow looks comfy! I had some bad carpal tunnel and it got worse during pregnancy. Chiropractic care helped.
I would actually like to try wrist braces. I run a fan and air purifier in my room to help me sleep but I have a lot of personal pain and these would be great.
those braces don’t look comfy at all. as long as their helpful though I guess
Love the photo! Even with a great mattress, I’m not sure how you sleep with your braces on. On another note, I have a Nature’s Sleep pillow and love it! Hubby tries to steal it. I should probably just order him his own.
I had the wristbands with a pillow on both sides of me for my arms and hands. Thanks for sharing.
That’s awesome you are able to still get sleep with those things on. Thanks for posting.
Definitely entering! I need a good nights sleep sooo badly. My back has been killing me and making it hard to sleep.
I could use those wrist supports. I need a good nights sleep because my dh snores so loud that around 4 nights a week I leave the bedroom and am then up for 3 hours.
I could use a good night’s sleep. I don’t know why but I am wide awake at 3 am almost every morning. But I have no idea why. I am way past menopause so I can’t blame it on that.
I hate the heat. I know it’s gross but I sweat too much when I sleep. My hormones have been all messed up since I was pregnant with my last little guy and he is over 1 now!
It’s great that you can still get a good night’s sleep with those wrist braces!
Oh, I injured my leg a few years ago and had to sleep in one of those terminator looking leg braces for months. That was fun, let me tell you. I definitely feel your pain. 😀
Sounds like a nice product and beneficial for those who has wrist problems.
Pillow looks comfy the wrist braces? not so much. Glad they help you out so much!
My cats they feel the need to play at 1am in the morning.
I will share this with two friends who have trouble sleeping!
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!
I can not imagine how you blog when you have such bad carpal tunnel, poor thing! I actually sleep wonderfully now that my children are at the ages where they get a good night’s rest themselves. I even occasionally sit back and think how in the world I made it through the hectic years of having three kids in under six years.
we just got a new mattress and oh man does it make all the difference. imagine adding up all the time you spend on that thing…it better be good!
Whoa, I’m sorry to hear about carpal tunnel! I sometimes wonder if my wrist pain will develop into that. I just had to sleep flat on my back because I got my wisdom teeth taken out and I couldn’t sleep on my side like usual.
Ohh, this seems like somethin’ I could use.
Lack of time and a noisy environment are preventing me from getting a good night’s sleep.
Oh the noise…that is the worst. That and having three kids somehow end up in your bed before morning…It’s like sleeping next to a bunch of furnaces.
I could never sleep flat on my back like that. I’m a tummy sleeper that totally sprawls out lol
My brother in law has intense carpal tunnel issues. Think he leaves his braces off at night and depending on how he sleeps, he probably shouldn’t. This does make me appreciate all the posting you do on the blog which can’t be easy for you. Take care of those wrists!
If I don’t expend enough physical energy during the say, I do not sleep.
Those braces don’t look too comfy to me lol. Now the bed there….that I could sink into; there is nothing like a good nap.
I had to wear braces like that when I had carpal. They aren’t comfy t all.
You are very funny, your post makes me laugh 🙂 My husband has sleeping problem and I felt badly for him. He really needs a new mattress to help him sleep 🙂
My sister could really use this. She has Carpal in her hands and wrists as well. I’m going to tell her about it . Maybe she will get some relief. Happy that you are feeling better with them on.
Everyone needs a good night sleep. I’ll try anything and everything just so i’ll have a good night sleep.
I wish I knew what prevented me from getting a good nights sleep. So often I wake up many times during the night for what seems like no reason at all. I’m not in pain, I don’t feel bad, I’m not uncomfortable, I just wake up and have a hard time going back to sleep. It’s really a mystery.
I love sleep too lol. I am glad you got that mattress, we just got a new serta mattress and I swear it changed our lives just to have a better mattress. My fiance has MS and he needs support and sleep or he has horrible symptoms of his disease. Since we got the new mattress he has a way better quality of life. I am happy to hear Natures Sleep is doing the same for you 🙂
A good mattress makes a huge difference! We recently got a new, cushy one–and OMG! I could just stay in there all day.
Geez, I’m so thankful you have that mattress. I can only imagine how uncomfortable your sleep would be without it!
That pillow looks amazing! I am so glad that it helps you get some good rest!
I don’t know how you sleep in those things, I’d end up knocking myself out or giving myself a few lumps and bruises throughout the night! At least they help to keep your carpal tunnel at bay-that in itself is worth wearing them.
I can’t believe you can sleep like that lol. I would be scared to death if I walked in and saw someone sleeping like that. Great contest though. Wonder if I could submit a photo of this one inch thick pad I am sleeping on for 70 days this summer lol.
I’m glad you’re getting a good night’s sleep. A full night’s rest makes you feel great in the morning!
Nature’s Sleep definitely makes sleeping more comfortable. I love that company.
I sleep on my side so it was so difficult when I had a wrist injury.
It’s about time for us to get a new mattress. I don’t always sleep well on our current mattress.
My wrists hurt at night too, well pretty much all day. I have CT as well but the braces help me some.
Too funny! Well at least you’re comfortable and you have a great attitude!! 😀
I need Nature’s Sleep in my life. And your wrist guard thingies look SO UNCOMFORTABLE but that’s TOTALLY how I sleep too. lol
I love the picture of you sleeping. Thank goodness you sleep well with those wrist guards! We just got a new bed and that does make all the difference.
I think it would be hard to sleep with those on your hands! I am glad you found a great mattress to help you forget about the wrist things and get a good night sleep anyway!
I definitely need some help. I don’t think I’ve had a good night’s sleep since 2003.
That looks painful! My husband suffers from Carpal tunnel syndrome bad, we are looking into the surgery.
Carpal tunnel syndrome stinks. I had it in my left and they did the surgery. I had it in the right and they did lots of pt and cortisone shots. It sure can interfere with sleep!
I’ve thought about getting something like that for my wrists. A few years ago, I became really aware of how I was sleeping and made an effort to change and not bend my wrists and curl my hands when I sleep. It works, for the most part, but this would be a help!
Oh man, carpal tunnel, not fun. The idea of death is so not funny, but I can’t help but giggle at your “Here Lies” photo. Have heard so much about the Nature’s Sleep mattress; it does sound amazing.
I definitely couldn’t help but giggle at that either! I know a few people who sleep like that and I just have to shake my head and wonder how is that comfortable!? Lol
I use the same, I have carpal tunnel syndrome ..
Ouch! I had carpal tunnel with my first pregnancy. No fun. What’s keeping me from getting a good night’s rest? Both kids needing to go #2 at 3:00 AM every morning. Who does that? LOL
Aw isn’t it hard to move things around with those arms/hands? Getting a good posture when sleeping is important.
Oh wow, that sound rough! Thank goodness you have your Nature’s Sleep mattress and pillow to keep you comfy! We really need a new matteress and Nature’s Sleep mattresses sound amazing, I’ve been considering purchasing one.
What’s preventing me from getting a good night’s sleep? Insomnia, chronic pain, a little ADD, a little OCD, rapid spinning thoughts, anxiety…LOL I’m a hot mess when it comes to sleeping, I know >.<
I love to sleep and I’ll take it anyway I can get it! LOL…you look super comfy, not sure a coffin would be as comfortable as your mattress.
I definitely need one of these pillows. I never seem to get a good night’s sleep.
mmmm those pillows and mattresses look extremely comfy!!
LOL! Your Too Funny Sounds Like A AWESOME Pillow!! Thanks For The Giveaway!!
Ooh, no fun at all to sleep with braces on! I wear those on occasion when my wrist gets really sore, but even a few hours with it on is annoying!!
I used to sleep in braces because I would sleep with a bent, curled up wrist which would lead to zero circulation. I hit myself in the head with them many times while sleeping!
I have never seen those that you wear on your hands to bed. I couldn’t sleep with those things on. Good thing you have comfy pillows to sleep on
Lol. As long as you are enjoying your rest, it doe s not matter how you look. Happy Sleeping.
You should see an injury massage therapist for your carpal tunnel, you may have swelling and compression of the tendons which they can help treat
I’ve actually just started seeing a myofascial therapist and that’s supposed to help as well 🙂
Ever since I turned 50, I can’t sleep. I am so entering this contest! That picture of you is hilarious and I hope you’re feeling better!
I really love my mattress that’s a memory foam one, its like sleeping on a cloud and i find it hard to sleep anywhere else. I’ve never tried a foam pillow though.
My mom wore similar braces. I’ve been looking for a new mattress, I will check this one out.
Oh no that looks painful. Ha ha you’re, you look pretty “peaceful” on the mattress.
I don’t sleep. I mean I try to sleep and I do for a little while here and there but I wake up a million times or when I am asleep I have weird dreams. It’s awful and has been that way for years now. I could use a new mattress.
I’m so sorry you have that pain! I had it a bit while I was pregnant with my 2nd and it was horrible. Glad the braces are helping!
Thank you for the laughs!! I would love a good night’s sleep.
I would so love a good night’s sleep. Our mattress is so old and terrible that anything would be an improvement.
I switched pillows and it worked wonders. If I had carpal tunnel syndrome, I’d use the wrist bands too!
I have insomnia, its bad, I have no clue why! A good night sleep I would love!
I am going to have to check these out!
Oh how uncomfortable those would be.
What stops me from sleeping good.. Is life 😉 LOL
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!
I have a wrist brace for my left hand. Never thought to wear it nights!
We have trouble sleeping between our hot mattress, the memory foam traps our body heat we are finding, and our 3 cats. We need to sleep better!
That photo is hysterical! I adore my memory foam pillow and wouldn’t trade it for anything else.
I too sleep flat on my back!! 😉
What prevents me from getting a good night sleep is when our air condition breaks in our apartment! I hope your carpal tunnel gets better!
Oh gosh, that would be hard to get used to! Hope it helps and that you can get comfortable!
I can’t imagine the pain you have to deal with having carpel tunnel, but I am glad to hear your braces work for you, even if they do look a bit nutty lol. Thanks for sharing the giveaway info. I’d love a new mattress!
Ok that would really be funny if they did bury you with the wrist thingy on!! LOL But you look very comfortable on that pillow. My mom has carpel tunnel and oh my what a nightmare it can cause.
I slept on a mattress like this at my sister’s house. I was totally ready to move int!
I heard about this contest the other day… it is great! Love your photo, however, you DO look like you are in a coffin 😉
wow i dont know if that looks comfy or not! i can’t sleep on my back like that though.. i’m super jealous!
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!
lol That’s such a great photo. Thanks for sharing the sweepstakes too!
I bet with the carpel tunnel these really help your wrists at night.
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.
I hate you have carpel tunnel. 🙁 I need to enter, because as embarrassed as I am to admit it, we have had the same mattress for just over 18 years now. :/
I love sleeping but it seems that I never get enough of it, sigh. It is such a wonderful thing to do, lol
a good nights sleep makes all the difference in how i feel. I couldn’t imagine sleeping with those braces on. i move so much when i sleep.
You do look like a vampire in a coffin, but a comfortable one! LOL! I sometimes sleep with my wrist braces on too, when I’ve been really busy blogging, my carpal tunnel seems to flare up!
It would be hard for me to get a new mattress I’ve fallen in love with the on I currently have.
I have an issue sleeping.. and when i wake up i am uncomfortable.. I need some good night sleep.
You don’t want a litany of my aches and pains and I’d have to submit a nekkid photo. That would scare them. Scare them bad. Or maybe that is scar them….
I know it has been a long time since I had a really good night sleep. My issues are stress related that manifest in back pain. So I am always up for looking for good alternatives.
That’s a great coupon code. I will definitely be entering the giveaway. I have a fairly new mattress, bu it’s not a Nature’s Sleep mattress. Looks so incredibly comfy. Thanks!
This looks fabulous! My husband really struggles getting to sleep, we need a knew mattress!
I would love a good nights sleep if I could get some! Baby wakes up several times during the night to nurse.
I also suffer and yes I sleep with mine on too! It does really make a difference.
I have heard very good things about Nature’s Sleep mattresses. If you’re able to sleep comfortably with those braces on, then it MUST be a comfortable option!
I wanted to get one of their mattresses when we were shopping, unfortunately the stores where we live did not have any for us to test out. I had to sleep with a brace on one wrist for a few weeks, I could not imagine every single night on both wrists.
I have not had a good night sleep in a while.. i will look into this cause i need one..
I think I need these! I always wake up with sore wrists from bending them over when I sleep. I don’t know why I do that. Thanks for the idea!
I sleep well too. Thank goodness you sleep hard.
I have been hearing awesome things about these beds. I have to try it out for myself.
That’s awesome that they help with the Carpal Tunnel. And I’ve heard those Nature’s Sleep mattresses are awesome!
I think I’m a worrier. Things in my life right now, have me worried. I worry worry I think about the next day- what I have to do! wishing, sometimes, I was not so tired so I could do more! 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 wanted to get one of those Nature’s Sleep mattresses for a while. One of my friends has it and she thinks it’s absolutely great. You look so comfy here. Funny I was hoping Nature’s Sleep sold those wrist bracelets, but turns out they don’t! lol!
Oh man! I have some poison oak right now – otherwise I sleep like a baby!
I have never seen braces like that. I am glad they are comfy, cause they look painful! I am always up for a good nights sleep! Hahha
I had to sleep with a foot brace for a while and I can empathize the discomfort, having a good mattress defiinitely helps
I’ve actually slept with one of those contraptions on my right hand before! You can’t move at all! I have tennis elbow on my right side…glad I’m not the only one that does this 🙂
lol a coffin! You’re funny! I need a good night’s sleep. I toss and turn all night; I can never get comfortable. I also have this issue with pillows–its too soft, too hard, too flat, too tall etc. It feels like the three bears story 🙂
Awesome contest! I had to laugh at the comment of burying you in your braces. I have rheumatoid arthritis and have to wear braces now and then too, I know your pain! This mattress and pillow sound heavenly!
I love my Natures Sleep Gel pillow! I sleep with it every single night!!
Oh no, I think my wrists are on their way out, too. :/ I am glad you are sleeping well, though! My sister has their mattress and raves about it!!
I would love a good nights sleep! Nature’s Sleeps has really awesome products! I love them!
I am starting to get horrible pains in my wrists and have wrist braces, but never thought to sleep in them. I might have to try it next time it gets bad. And since I have an awesome Nature’s Sleep mattress too, I’ll still be able to get comfy and fall asleep. 🙂
Thanks for the information. We are in the same bed we have since we moved into this apartment 14 years ago. It is lumpy from when we used to do all our TV watching in the bedroom. Even a good pillow top doesn’t help! I will have to look into your mattress recommendations!
thanks,
Mitch
What’s keeping me from a good night’s sleep? A toddler! a wakey, snuggly toddler that we are trying to get to sleep PAST 5:30 am.
This sounds great. I think these mattresses are awesome.
I am a stress insomniac with a husband who snores like a freight train – so sleep is often hard to come by around here. We’ve been talking about getting a new mattress for a while now, but other purchases keep getting in the way.
Hmmm, I wonder how I could get a picture of my husband’s snoring LOL. It’s so bad that it wakes me out of a dead sleep all the time, so I need a good nights sleep BAD!
I have no idea how you sleep with those on! After a day of blogging- my wrists hurt! I really should have been in bed like 4 hours ago!
Oh my goodness! Girl, this just reminds me that I need to get myself in the bed.
ha. well…i guess i could find a picture of my wife kicking me in her sleep but i dont think a mattress comes with anything to block that…smiles…
Oh my gosh, how wonderful! I would love to win! I don’t get enough sleep because of the boys but my memory of a good night’s sleep is that it is so refreshing 🙂 I’ll try to make the twitter party too, thanks!
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!
Well, I don’t have wrist braces like you (poor thing) but I’m a night owl. I’m sleepy all day and can’t stop thinking at night.
