The Scandinavian Sleep Method

One Bed, Two Duvets: This is the Scandinavian Sleep Method.⁣

First - a serious question, do any couples here use two duvets in the same bed? And could it be the answer to a better night’s sleep?⁣

A good night's sleep is so important when you have histamine intolerance, so let's talk about it. 💤⁣

One bed, two duvets is a Scandinavian sleep tradition that also is popular in Germany and Austria, and couples who do it seem to love it. You can nail your own personal temperature control, blanket weight, and you won't get disturbed by your partner moving about. ⁣

It all equals happy sleepers. I want to try it!⁣

As I read in a Refinery 29 about the Two Duvets approach. ⁣

“Sleep is the most selfish thing you can do. You can't share your sleep – you can change your intimacy but you can't share your sleep. And we know that if one partner in a relationship has one bad night's sleep, you lack empathy, you have more arguments, you have more negative feelings about your partner the next day. That's not a recipe for a happy relationship. When you're sleeping, prioritise your sleep! All the rest of the time, prioritise your relationship.” 👌⁣

And that could mean using two duvets…
