Who needs sleep? Well, apparently, I do.

OH MY GOD I HATE MEETINGS. That's the absolute worst part of the organization's re-brand: I have to sit through hours and hours of hand-wringing because I'm being called into all of these bloody meetings. I'm already on an aggressive timeline, so we're going to waste more of my work hours by making me sit through two-hour meetings all the time? Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

In other news, House-sitting turned out to be even more eye-opening than I thought. See, I slept great during the week or so when I was away house-sitting. They had a nice, comfy bed, and I slept well there. I consistently woke up before my alarm every morning, and didn't feel tired at all during the day.

Contrast that with being back at my place, where I'm dragging myself out of bed after the alarm, falling asleep on the bus ride to work, and generally feeling exhausted and crappy. The bed at my house? Not so comfortable.

I said multiple times that house-sitting was the only thing keeping me sane last week, and looking back, I suspect that may have had as much to do with the sleep as it did the peace and quiet. This leads me to think that my health, fitness, and overall quality of life would improve dramatically, if I would just get a decent friggin' bed.

I think it's time to go bed shopping, as soon as humanly possible. Being tired all the time suck-diddly-ucks, Flanders.

I was thinking about getting a new bed too, but a good bed is wicked expensive. Let me know if you find something good for not a lot of $$$.

Yeah, I was looking at IKEA beds awhile back, but I'm not sure if that's what I need. The one at the place I house-sat felt like a nice, firm pillow-top matress.

You spend a third of your life in bed. Get the best one you can afford.

Also: holy crap you got thin! Like, you're noticeably thinner than you were at your housewarming party.

Yaayyyy! Yeah, that party was a while ago, so I'm down about 10-15 lbs from then. :D

i'm confused, when did you move to oklahoma and start working for JMC?

but in all seriousness, i think company CEOs get together and bet on how far they can push their workers with that exact kind of crap. first one who has an employee lose it and shoot up the place wins!

omg I am with you there on the bed thing. My bed feels like a rock and I now know why I can't get up out of it and am usually tired now that I've slept in Don's comfortable bed. My mattress is a piece of crap.

I looked at ikea beds and was worried they were going to fall apart too soon so I don't know where to look yet really cause the nice ones are usually expensive. yikes

Yeah, I was kind of worried about that with the IKEA beds, too... hence why I'm polling DP about it ;)

New Bed

Many years back we went bed shopping and were freaked out by the sales guy at Sleep Country USA. I swear he was following us and when we told him we were just looking he continued to press on us to buy a bed (Not cool!) We practically ran out of that store.

In the end, we found a nice local mom & pop store that sold beds at a decent price and had an excellent return policy (try for 3 months and return if you don't like it).

Expect to pay at least $500 for a good bed. The time you get back from good sleep will make the price seem small in comparison.
