Recently, I made the mistake of buying a new pillow for my bf as a birthday gift. He was complaining about his current pillow which I noticed had ripped at the seam. The polyfill was coming out, making the pillow very lumpy and uncomfortable.

(The pillow itself wasn’t expensive, as I purchased it in the States, but I was a bit disappointed about the quality since I got it only 1-1.5years ago. Not long ago.)

Anyway, the replacement pillow that I purchased was a buckwheat pillow that is traditionally Japanese, stuffed with buckwheat hulls. Unlike conventional pillows, the hulls are supposed to be ergonomic and not to heat up like other materials.

Despite my best intentions, the pillow was rejected within a couple of minutes because it was “too hard”. Yes, even though there’s a zipper on the side so that you can remove some of the stuffing.

Lesson Learned: Never buy someone else a pillow as it’s something that’s a personal preference!

So this past weekend, we went to find a replacement for the replacement and I was completely overwhelmed with all the pillow options out there: back/side-sleeper, soft/firm, down/polyester/the newer Tempur?

At some point of the shopping, I just sat on a fake bed, letting my bf make his own decision. There was no way that I was spending any more energy on this search!

So what’s your pillow profile? What kind of filling do you prefer? And how long do you switch your pillows out?

While sitting here listening to the clock tick, I started wondering when does the rest of SC go to bed? Do most people have a bedtime, or do you just go to sleep when your tired?  Most nights I go to bed around 1’ish, but it varies.  I’ve gone to bed at 3am many a moons as well as 9pm.

I do need to admit that I have a *sick* addiction.  Group buys.  I feel like I *need* to stay up until at least midnight to scope the new deals.  Once, and only once, there was a deal that I missed for a Cirque show that was very limited.  Because of that I simply cannot go to bed until I check out my Groupon.

I know my body needs to go to bed earlier since I’m up at 7 am with my boys.  I have to make lunches, make sure the kids get dressed and out the door on time.  Then my day starts? No, I go back to bed for an hour or four because I’m exhausted still. It’s a vicious cycle.  I don’t always do this, but on the 3am nights I do.
