Pretty much my wife since 35. Good news is she no longer gets mad at me for sleeping like a rock with little effort.

Barley husk pillows are the bomb.
Ultra firm but able to squish with your head. Stay cool too
Is there a particular brand you recommend?
The one I got was from a place called ComfyComfy
I don't know if they are still around
Thank you!
Sometimes I like to sleep on the floor. It's nice.
Need a CPAP machine too.
Can confirm. I need 14 hours in bed to get 6 hours of sleep.
44 and I get 7+ hours almost every night using very few accessories (memory foam mattress and pillow) as well as few doobies before bed. Chef's kiss
Me: in my 50s. Latex mattress and lovely pillow, and I get 6 hours of shite sleep if I'm lucky. Mostly it's a few hours of sleep, an hour or so of being awake, a few more hours of tossing and turning in semi sleep.
(Though I do probably have some form of undiagnosed ADHD. My brain refuses to turn off)
My wife: same mattress with slightly different pillows. 9 hours of snoring like a dragon sleep easily...and I then have to wake her a few times in the morning or she'd sleep until noon.
It's just the hand I was dealt.
I have the brain not turning off thing. Listening to something makes it much easier to fall asleep. Youtube videos, rain sounds or one of my favorites: hair dryer youtube vidoes. I got a 10h one downloaded on my phone. Might annoy the wife tho if she ain't cool. Ya dig?

cannot confirm, there has never been a time in my life when I was able to fall asleep easily when I should, not in my childhood, not teenage years, nor more recently :(

100 dollar pillow...
You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers. I got a $300 pillow. Hell yes I'm flexing it, the feeling it gives my body justifies it.
I sleep on a cheap, thin mattress on the floor with no bed frame or anything, and have just some cheapest Ikea pillows and blankets. I used to have even thinner mattress, but then I lost more weight and my bones started hitting the floor because it was also dented pretty badly, so I had to switch to this one.
I feel like I'm kinda choking and constantly falling if I have a proper bed and proper pillows, so this weird asceticism works for me. I guess that goes to show people can be extremely different

It's good to reevaluate your habits now and then. Because with time, they always accumulate. And changing them is good for mental flexibility and against neurodegenerative diseases in higher age too.
