\"DoesDoes your bed support all the things you (and your family) do in it?<\/h2>\n

The kitchen may be the heartbeat of a happy, healthy home but our bedrooms are its soul. Your bed is (or should be) the most comfortable place in your home and the envoy of lots of good things, including sound sleep for you and your family. It\u2019s the place where we greet our days and where we wave farewell to them. It\u2019s where we cuddle and canoodle with our lovers, our children and our pets.<\/p>\n

While many of us use our beds as tantalizing cocoons of serenity, they can also serve as an ad hoc home office, family gathering place and even a bench to sort socks. We recently reached out to our Facebook friends to find out how they use their beds (asking them to keep their answers family-friendly). Turns out, beds are for a whole lot\u00a0more than sleeping<\/a>\u00a0(and the other *S* thing we like to do there).<\/p>\n

What do you do in your bed and bedroom?<\/h2>\n

\u201cI have read a book, written a poem, surfed to faraway lands, meditated through the universe, cuddled loved ones, laughed, cried, loved, enjoyed breakfast for two with all the trimmings and good old fashioned newspapers,\u201d wrote Samantha.<\/p>\n

Lots of folks enjoy snuggling or watching videos, no surprise considering we spend so much time at home now. When it\u2019s time to reorganize and purge, the guts of the closet go on the bed. Some people let their kids make pillow nests while for others, it\u2019s the comfiest time-out spot.<\/p>\n

Of course, there\u2019s late night social media scrolling and early morning coffee-time. Lots of people use at as the place to chat with their partners at the start or the end of the day. \u201cWe argue, cry, hug, laugh, wonder, worry, conspire and reflect all within the comforts of our bed,\u201d wrote Jennifer.<\/p>\n

Your bed, haven and refuge<\/h2>\n

Clearly, our beds serve many purposes but the most important is still a\u00a0good night\u2019s sleep<\/a>. While everyone\u2019s sleep needs are different, there\u2019s no denying we all need it. Think of sleep as the mop-up crew when there\u2019s a spill in the grocery store. Our days are one big spill of information and activity and we need sleep to clear all the debris away, put everything neatly back onto the shelves and then give us a tally sheet on the inventory. Without sleep, nothing gets organized in our brains.<\/p>\n

During stressful times \u2013 a global pandemic qualifies \u2013 sleep can be challenging. Mental health can suffer with poor sleep, and sleep can suffer due to poor mental health. It\u2019s a vicious circle that demands we get back to the basics of getting a good night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n
