The kids all together on the hotel bed during our trip to Penang in June 2011 (A year ago)

My boys are so not morning persons. It takes them ages to wake up in the morning. Only after countless reminders and threats do they move their bodies from their beds and drag themselves off to the toilet to brush their teeth and change their clothes.

Even though you have called for them to wake up they still give me ” Mum let me sleep a minute more” attitude. On certain days I literally have to yank them out of their beds and push them all the way to the toilet to freshen out. Sometimes more drastic measures have to be taken by taking out the cane to shock them into waking up.

On days when it seems impossible for them to wake up, this is the case for Doggie boy , I resort to stripping their pyjamas off him and putting him into his school uniform. It would only take me the most 5 minutes while if left to him would take like forever to get ready.

I personally too would like to laze in bed and sleep in till 8am-9am. However Tiger girl is an early riser and won’t stay in bed past 7.30am. Now I have outsourced to her to wake her brothers up every morning. It does help having an additional helper to wake the lazybones up.

Tempurpedic Mattress for a Good Night’s Sleep

Purchasing a tempurpedic bed may be one of the best long term investment which one can make. This is especially true if you want to have restful sleep and not be prone to suffering from insomnia due to constant tossing and turning on the bed trying to sleep.

Before moving into our current house we went shopping around a good mattress and bed as I wanted a long lasting bed and mattress. I find it important to have a good nights rest daily in order to wake up refreshed and energized for the next day. If the mattress which you are sleeping on is not comfortable you may end up suffering from back pains and aches all over your body the next morning.

I personally have experience waking up to a sore back due to poor sleeping posture as the mattress I was sleeping on did not give my body adequate support during the night. Waking up not fully rested also made me cranky and I wasn’t in top form to meet the challenges in my job. Having not enough sleep hampered my well being as I wasn’t able to perform up to my potential.

Getting a good mattress not only made it easier for me to drift off to sleep but also gave me a good nights rest. It is something which I will certainly not compromise on.

What do you look for when you purchase a mattress?
