Cruisin' to Dreamland
"Heavenly Bed" cruise lines are now getting into the act. No longer are you going to hear about the bed wars from hotel chains ( of which I was a part -- see my work with the Crowne Plaza Sleep Advantage program) but now on cruise ships as well.
The major cruise lines are rolling out plusher, more comfortable mattresses as well as better toiletries, towels and other in-room amenities. An article in USA Today (2/24/06) has found these cruise lines are taking sleep more seriously:
I personally think this is great as it shows some serious foresight into passengers needs. But I say don't stop with bedding, but give passengers a better sleep experience with sleep amenities, information and real guidance on how to get a better night's sleep.

The major cruise lines are rolling out plusher, more comfortable mattresses as well as better toiletries, towels and other in-room amenities. An article in USA Today (2/24/06) has found these cruise lines are taking sleep more seriously:
- Carnival - Will have the Carnival Comfort Bed on all 21 ships
- Holland America - Will have the custom-made "Mariner's Dream Bed" with 200-thread-count linens.
- Royal Caribbean - The line plans a fleet wide upgrade of bedding (from mattresses to sheets) starting in May (to be completed by May 2007).
- Radisson Seven Seas - Better mattresses and sheets will debut over the next year.
- Windstar - The line is rolling out premium plush-top mattresses, luxury cotton bed linens and duvets.

I have a rare sleep disorder and why I say rare because out of all of my readings no one has sleep problems like mine.Mine has a lot to do with my breathing and one minute I can be snoring and the next second i can hear what someone next to me is saying. It's like I never go all the way to sleep. sometimes I wake in sudden desperation grasping for my breath. Sometimes its really scary. No sleep aid works. I only sleep for maybe 2-3 hours at one time if that. I never sleep longer than 3hours at one time, never. I have been like this for many years and I have been to many sleep centers and I have never received any help. I am very tired, PLEASE HELP
From time to time while my husband is sleeping i will notice that he is caressing his penis in his sleep. He doesnt know he is doing this. can you explain why this happens?
Sometimes i lay awake up to 5 hours or so b4 i fall asleep. But if i change my sleeping spot, there is a higher chance of me falling asleep.
I constantly need to change my bed arrangement (monthly or so) if i want to fall asleep easily. One month it's facing south, the next month facing south, the third month maybe facing the window etc.
When i do change my sleeping spot, i feel immense sense of lightness, my body feels rested and i feel fresh,which allows me to fall asleepy easily. Please advice!
