      Wandering around for days trying to find the one spot that’s not too hard, not too soft. And don’t even get me started on finding the edge of the blanket.

        Never heard of the guy until I watched a few (a shitload) of his videos a few months back and now I’m seeing references to him everywhere. Good for him. Seems like a nice guy.

    Buy a sleep mask online and get it delivered to your bed’s GPS coordinates.

        At the bottom of the space between the bed and the wall where all the food crumbs, dead skin cells, hair, and dirt have been accumulating for years, the Null Island floats atop the carpet.

        Like a fun-sized, personal great garbage patch of the pacific.

    My solution was one of these on a swing arm lamp clamped to my headboard. I habitually turn off the overhead light before I get in bed and turn on the reading lamp. I’ve had the same lamp for almost 50 years. My high school girlfriend wrote her name on the inside of the shade, so, I’d see it at night. It’s still there. I’ve used it to read in bed all that time.

    I don’t need a remote or a phone app to handle this.

    Image a light switch at your bed, or a smart home

    That’s what smart homes are invented for. We have like 40 light switches plastered all over and also automatic light that follows where we are whenever it’s too dark.

    If we go on holiday we often run into doors and walls because we simply untrained ourselves hitting switches 😁

    Most modern lamp fixtures and ceiling fans just have remote controls… very easy to install and energy efficient. Definitely recommend

            and before that just straight up lie, to your face, and keep up the con long enough to become a prophet.

                Technically it was a “sea”, but I appreciate the enthusiasm. If you just sign here, we can schedule your circumcision. If you’re already circumcised, we’ll need a verification video following specific guidelines or you can visit a worship center in your local area for a personal inspection.
