I love to sleep. It is one of my favorite activities. From the moment I arise in the morning, I ponder the net moment I will be able to crawl back into bed. I love the comfort of being in bed, and the warmth under the covers. Under the covers, I have no responsibilities. I can be as lazy as I want to be. The best type of sleep is weekend sleep. There is nothing better than waking up naturally. During the week, I am tied down to waking up to an obnoxious alarm each morning. BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! But on the weekends, I pleasantly wake up naturally. Sometimes, I wake up well into the hours of the afternoon.
How you make your bed is very important to the comfort of your sleep. For example, I currently have care bear sheets from my childhood on my bed. I also have 3 fluffy pillows and a super soft down comforter. Trying to stay awake and do school work in my bed is next to impossible. I always pass out within minutes of sitting in my bed. I guess being comfortable can also be a downfall! I would love to own a tempur pedic mattress. These mattresses conform to the shape of your body. However, having an even more comfortable bed than my bed right now may mean that I will never leave my bedroom!

Link:Tempur Pedic
Here is the link for tempur pedic mattresses. Using this site your can explore all types of tempur pedic mattresses. Although they are very expensive, they provide for an amazing nights sleep. I suggest you try one if you get the chance!
I used to work at Brookstone and thereby sell the Tempurpedic products. Unfortunately I was too poor at the time to afford the mattress even with the sweet discount I would've had at the time. I swear by my pillow though!
