If “seeing visions of sugarplums” is code for “getting restful sleep,” you’d hope it’s happening more than just on Christmas Eve. But according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a third of us don’t get enough slumber (at least seven hours per night) on a regular basis, which can lead to chronic conditions including high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, and something called “frequent mental distress.” That’s… not great.
Consider for a moment that addressing your dozing woes may require little more than a change of bedding. (Worth a shot, right?)
The Bamboo Comfort 6-Piece Luxury Sheet Set is silky-soft — softer than 1,000-thread count Egyptian cotton, in fact — and crafted from breathable, organic fabric that’s wrinkle-resistant, hypo-allergenic, and environmentally friendly. Plus, they’re available in your choice of five hues — white, sage, grey, ivory, and taupe — all of which stay vibrant after multiple washes. Read more…

When a crew member aboard Star Trek‘s USS Enterprise is accused of sabotaging the futuristic ship, a noble Captain Jean-Luc Picard comes the accused traitor’s defense, delivering a grave message to his exploration corps:
“Have we become so fearful, have we become so cowardly, that we must extinguish a man because he carries the blood of a current enemy?” Picard asks a spaceship tribunal.
It’s a seminal moment in Star Trek: The Next Generation history, and in the background of Picard’s speech — like most every scene aboard the Enterprise — is the omnipresent drone of the starship’s powerful engine. Read more…

In a perfect world you’ll have a big, comfy bed ready for every overnight guest. But most of us don’t have that kind of space (and money), so our visiting out-of-towners will have to settle for a spot on the good ol’ sofa. A good air mattress, however, can change your hosting game. Many air mattress models today offer the perks of a comfy, full-size instant bed with features like pillow-top layers, while still offering the convenience of easy, compact storage.
But how do you choose an air mattress that will impress sleepover friends and vacationing family? First, consider size. Air mattresses follow the same sizing rules as traditional mattresses, but variations in firmness based on their level of inflation can make them feel smaller, according to the National Sleep Foundation. If you typically host more than one guest at a time (and if you have enough space both in the room and in your storage closet), it’s a good idea to go with a full or queen size, instead of a twin.
