Friday Favorite #6

Alrighty, it's Friday and I've missed a few so I was getting some blogging grief about not posting my Friday Favorites. At least I know someone is visiting my blog :) Ok, so today's favorite is all about bedtime, ahem... I should say sleeptime. I have always had a hard time falling asleep. I thought it was normal for it to take around 30 minutes to fall asleep. Apparently it is not. After I got married I discovered two things that I LOVE now and wished I had used before. To think of all the minutes I could have been sleeping!! It's very sad. One of them is earplugs. Who knew they were so amazing?? See the thing is is that I had tried them before and could never get them "to work" you know what I mean? I guess I just didn't know how to use them correctly...how to insert them. In fact, I made my DH put them in my ears for the first few weeks of using them, then he finally encouraged me to figure it out myself. Guess what? I did! Now, I have to have them to sleep (mostly because hubbers snores. Shh... don't tell him I shared that!). I am not sure this is a healthy addiction, but for now it is a favorite! Ok, the second favorite for sleeptime is my eye mask. I've had this thing for a very long time and never used it, again... the shame of all the time wasted (awake) not using it! I am convinced that I have thin eyelid skin. Once again, I thought everybody could see light-ish even though there eyes were closed. This is why I always liked my bedroom really dark. BUT apparently not everyone is like that either! I've heard that some people close their eyes and voila, it's dark!! Not me. It's okay though because I have found my new found love in the eye mask. I don't have to use it every night, but I sure like to have it when I need it. Just a side note, it's super funny using it because when I wake up in the morning I never know where I'll find it. Once it was at the bottom of the bed by my feet. How'd that happen?? I am also convinced that I look super hot when I'm sleeping, just picture it... earplugs, eye mask, and wait for it... my retainer.

Yes, these are even the brand I use. They are the best, Pura Fit, if you are wondering.

Not the one I use, but quite similar

Happy sleeping everyone, and don't forget to set your clocks back tomorrow night!
