HOW TO GET A GOODNIGHT'S SLEEP ON A COUCH!!!

Hey guys,

Happy new month and happy beautiful Sunday.

Today has been indeed beautiful. I've been loving the weather over here; the cool lovely atmosphere, and all I can do is wish that the weekend comes again tomorrow. But sadly, wishes aren't horses :(

Anyways how was your weekend?

So I decided to switch things up a little bit. I figured I had less blog posts on tips or guidelines on how to achieve certain things, so I thought it'll be nice to share a post on 'how to get a good night's sleep on a couch'. Quite funny yeah?

Well, if you've ever found yourself in a situation where you had to be confined to a couch for a night, probably two, sometimes weeks and even months, then you'd realise that sh*** ain't funny. 

I've come across people who find it very difficult sleeping on couches, I have a friend who was confined to a sofa for a year and constantly developed back pain. Reasons why I appreciate my boarding life experience:- You must adapt by force lol. What ever the situation may be, be it having family or friends over, squating with a friend or just having a sleep over, there is a certain skill to spending the night on the couch. Next time you find yourself missing out on the comfort of your own bed, here are a checklist of things you can refer to.

1. Take as much beddings as possible. 

While it might not be advisable to try negotiating the best pillow from a disgruntled friend or guest, you'll want to make sure you grab as much bedding as you can. The sofa can be a harsh sleeping environment.

2. Put down a bed sheet. 

This one's especially important if you're unlucky enough sleeping on a leather sofa. Covering it with a base layer will stop you from waking up drenched in sweat, or having to peel yourself free in the morning.

3. Remove the back cushions.

Give yourself some room to play with. You don't want to be dangling off the edge of the couch, falling face-first on the floor in the middle of the night. 

4. Take a nice position.

If you don't have a nice three-seater to bed down on, then you'll just have to make the best of it. Try curling up in the foetal position, or hanging your leg over the arm rest.

5. Pillow.

The pillow is crucial to a successful sofa sleeping. If you don't manage to grab one, then find a substitute, such as a balled-up jumper, and wedge it between the arm of the sofa and your head.

6. Blanket.

It's no use trying to tough it out in just a nighty, T-shirt or boxers. Remember, real men get cold too. You might have to get inventive again if you don't have a blanket handy; try draping a thick coat over yourself. If that fails, hit the scotch.

Ever been confined to your couch? What were your adaptive skills?
