Sleeping through Winter – A Haiku! 🥶..✨..😴

An extra blanket

Now I sleep like a baby

Wish I’d known sooner.

Hi elf-ryone! 💚❤️ This post revolves around the cold weather and that’s a part of making Christmas cozy so I can still use my festive tagline, right? 😅 Cause that’s about it 🤣. The haiku signifies an obvious cause for celebration! 🎉 I hope it gave you a laugh too! 😂 Just incase it isn’t known by someone: haikus are poems that have 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the next and 5 again in the last line! So, onto the meaning which is basically up there but I wanna tell a story now that you’re here! 😁 I don’t get how the answer can be so simple sometimes when it comes to having a good night’s sleep, in this case it was a blanket! 🧐💤

If you’ve seen some of my old posts then you might be aware of how terrible my sleeping habits have been, mostly since the first lockdown last year. A lot of factors play into it but what doesn’t help the most is that I am a self-professed night owl 🦉. Recently on one particular night it was FREEZING so I decided to break out an amazing blanket that I’d used last Winter. I’d tried it before back when it started to get cold in Autumn this year but the pain flaring up in my legs made things different and it felt like it was too heavy.

I took a risk and found it beneath a big pile of odds & ends in a basket but they would have been too noisy to move. Not wanting to wake up my family (because I was in a considerate mood) I now realize that I wasn’t a risk taker that night. I slept in my dressing gown 😂. But the NEXT night I was ready and draped it over my bed. As soon as I switched the light off I don’t remember anything!! Then all of a sudden it was the next morning 🤯🤣

I had found it to not be restrictive at all! 😄 For reference it’s a Fox & Ivy blanket from Tesco if you’re interested 😂, it properly locks in hot water bottle warmth and was more cozy than heavy, it’s been like sleeping in a bubble 😌…but safely because there’s fresh air coming into my room because the air vent can’t be shut without making a rumbling noise with me being on the breeziest side of the house 🙄. This whole thing is highly unusual for me but yep, for the most part I’m sleeping better now! 😆

In other news, it’s about time I actually wrapped up some presents and put them under the tree for my family! 🎁 They must be thinking I’ve gotten them nothing which isn’t a good look at all 🤣. So that’s what I’m off to do now! Let me know in the comments below:

• Are you a night owl who likes staying up? (I personally find I’m able to write better then which probably isn’t the best idea 🌙📝)…

or

• Are you the complete opposite – an early bird? 🐦 Maybe you’re both! 😯

Thank you for taking the time to check out this post! 😉 Oh I forgot to mention that it was too dark to take a picture of the actual blanket to use for the image on this post, that’s why baby Toby is modeling while he sleeps as he’s just too cute 🐶🤣. Anywho! I hope you have a beautiful day and better sleeping habits than me!! 🤣 Take care, stay safe and buh-bye 🌊✨💕

    1. Aren’t they the best! Don’t know if Winter nights would be at all tolerable without them 🙌🤣. Ahh neat, I’d love to be an early bird in warm weather (I think it was a goal last Summer within lockdown but that was probably the worst time to set goals because everything was just so different anyway 😂). And yes! In cold weather it’s nicer to just stay settled whenever possible 🍿. Thank you so much for checking out the post and sharing your thoughts ✨💚

  3. I recently, this past summer, bought a new comforter and it’s SO warm… to the point that I don’t even need sheets because it’s that warm. It’s really soft too, it’s not ideal for summer (even this fall it’s been sorta heavy) but I really love it and I can’t wait to try it out on the really cold nights! I’m glad you found a blanket that does the trick for you! 😊

    1. Ahhh that sounds so nice!! They are the ideal purchase. I had no idea how well the blanket worked as it sure didn’t have as good an effect as this last Winter 🤣. Thank you!! It’s nice going to bed and knowing I’ll actually sleep now 😂💤
