  • I think a lot of us do that and after awhile I started taking note of the amount of time I was asleep before waking so alert and ready to go. Now I set my alarms to coincide with that. For me it’s about 3.5 hours so I have one alarm that wakes me at 2:30am than another for 7am. Seems to work for me though my wife and friends say I’m crazy for waking myself up in the middle of the night. But for me there’s that calming realization I have nearly 4 more hours of sleep before waking up for good. Makes those last few hours even more precious.





  • Shit like Walmart+ or similar. If it’s your only option for groceries or whatever then that’s different but at least where I live you can save so much by shopping locally for certain things. It’s inconvenient at times, but trading inconvenience for corporate oversight is part of the reason my country is in so much shit as it is. I haven’t spent a fucking dime at Walmart in a few years and likewise for things like whole foods or comparable. Go to a farmers market, hell it’s a fun family outing on top of responsible use of your money. Same goes for door dash or Uber eats… I won’t argue the merit of being able to have vital things delivered when maybe you’re deathly ill but America’s culture encourages these conveniences for absurd markups and somehow makes into the literal lexicon of speech such as, Google it, or let’s just door dash it.

    Paying a monthly fee to make something like this “cheaper” should be a clear fucking signal that you shouldn’t be using this in the first place unless it’s the only option.






  • For me it was my tossing and turning to get comfortable which became neck and back pain in the morning. I read about pillows helping and realized I’ve been using the same Walmart pillow for years. Did some research then tried it out and bought it immediately. I sleep better, no more pain in the morning, and my sheets aren’t being ripped off at night from my trying to get comfortable.


  • Def recommend that. That’s what I did. But keep in mind, at mattress stores those pillows are usually fully broken in. It can take a few weeks for the pillow to fully break in so if you get one and doesn’t feel the same that’s why. I see a lot of negative reviews from people not reading the material included with it. If it feels good broken in at the store it will still be great brand new but it gets better. Also recommend running it in the dryer a few times with something scented because the foam has a smell from the factory that lingers a long while otherwise.
