    Fascinating! I'm closer to the Hadza hunter-gatherers than anything else.

    I just turned 45 in September and I feel my sleep patterns have definitely changed recently. I'll go to bed at around 11pm and then wake up between 4:30 - 5 AM, and then at about 1PM in the afternoon I will crash for about an hour and a half. It's weird because I've never really done the nap thing before. But all I keep thinking about was a recent lecture I heard where the speaker said, "If your body is giving you the signals that you're tired at some point during the day, you don't need caffeine.... you need a nap." Made total sense, so that's what I'm doing.

    Hey just wondering here....
    has anybody bought one of those "My pillow dot com" pillows"?

    I'm seriously thinking about buying one lol.... $60 for a pillow is a lot of money. But those commercials do ring true. My neck hurts.
    Megyn Kelly swore by them.

    I'm surprised Trumpy hasn't had this guy at the WH yet.
    My kind of made in America business model. How simpler can it f'ing get? Pillows. Kudos to that guy.

    It's funny you ask that because I just bought one about two months ago and it's the BOMB! That pillow is 100% Baron approved. :fistbump::D

    I am a channel surfer and find myself always stopping at the infomercials. This one also caught my eye. $60 is steep but considering we spend most of our time sleeping well worth it if it relieves ur neck pain.
