Chances are, you’ve heard about the Scandinavian Sleep Method. So, what exactly is it and how do you do it? This quick guide will help you and your partner set up your room for the best sleep and with very little fuss.
where the scandinavian sleep method came from:
This way of sleeping derives it’s name from the fact (you guessed it!) that many individuals in Scandinavian countries like Germany, Norway and Denmark have been using the method to get better sleep and wake up feeling better. The best part about this sleep method? It doesn’t require you to buy much, if anything.
why it’s beneficial:
The Scandinavian Sleep Method is the ultimate sleep hack for couples that share a bed. Why? Well, for starters we all know just how important sleep is. When we do get restful sleep, we tend to wake up not feeling refreshed and that also tends to set the mood for how the rest of the day will progress. It gets even more difficult to get a good, restful night of sleep when you’re sharing the bed with someone. Maybe find it difficult to get as comfortable as you would like to be. The sheets feel funny, they might be hogging the duvet, or maybe you’re just freezing or hot while your partner is cozy as a bed bug.
With the Scandinavian Sleep Method, you and your partner will sleep better and more than likely function better throughout the day.
how to do it:
It’s extremely simple to implement the Scandinavian Sleep Method: just ditch your full sized duvet and opt for 2 smaller, personal duvets or blankets! Getting rid of the large duvet that covers the entire bed in place of smaller duvets has several benefits.
things to note:
- You’ll likely have to get rid of your flat sheet for your bedding set up. The flat sheet takes away from the whole “individual sleep setup” that the Scandinavian Sleep Method offers. If you’re not in love with the idea of doing away with the top sheet, go for twin-sized flat sheets.
- For a more cohesive look, add a large blanket to the base of your bed to make things flow more seamlessly with the separate duvets you’ll use to sleep.
While it might seem strange at first, many couples swear by the Scandinavian Sleep Method. If you’re game, give it a try and let me know how it goes. Sweet dreams!
