40 Winks and a Hamburger.

So as you know sleeping is not something that I do well. That is unless I see someone else sleeping.

I find it near impossible to watch Medium, a show about a woman who has premonitions in her dreams, without falling asleep. I struggle to make it to the end of an episode without a yawn or a snooze simply because they look so cosy tucked up in their giant American bed. It is for this same reason my Dad will never see the end of Inception.

I am also the kind of person that can never resist a nap. Collectively we are known as Students. Everything is always better after a nap. Trust me.

I started looking at the different aspects that were involved in a great snooze.

The Shape of a bed.
Round beds annoy me as finding sheets to fit would be such a pain.


The same goes for this one. However, I would love to wake up to that view.


I like this one (even if it is unrealistically placed on a white sand beach) It looks like a wee cosy cocoon you can crawl into without the fear of falling off the edge. 



 Finally, a no nonsense bed fit for purpose and the best bit; there's no room for the cat.


The Material of a Bed.
More of a day bed than a good night's sleep. Nevertheless the ability to mould the mattress to a personal preference is a genius idea. I must spend half my life arranging and rearranging pillows.
This is a favourite of mine. Everyone enjoys a wee cuddle and what's better than a cuddle while you sleep... from your own bed. I'm not too keen on the vertical part but doesn't it look so comfy?


Okay, so maybe not the most initially appealing of spots for a snooze but can't we all think of at least one time in our lives we accidentally fell asleep on a patch of grass? These stories are usually closely related to stories about sunburn. I slept so well on some London grass one time that I missed the Polish knife fight that was taking place beside me. So from experience I'd give this bed a go.



The Dressing of a Bed.
Pillows none? one? two?
Duvet on? off? one leg out?
Personal preference is key here, I always need two big fluffy pillows but never lie my head on them.

Or a more humorous (tacky) approach.  



The Awesome factor of a bed.
Now why would you not want to wake up on a pirate ship, a dinosaurs mouth or a birds nest?



 This is by far the best bed I've seen. If you can over look fact that you'd always wake up hungry.
The cheese overcomes the circular sheets problem and the burger bun looks ridiculously comfortable for a good night's sleep.


The Ridiculousness of a Bed.
When awesome over steps the mark.
