I Tried the Scandinavian Sleep Method for a Month and Never Will Again
14.03.2024 - 17:39 / thespruce.com
When I first heard of the Scandinavian Sleep Method, I initially thought it was a pretty nifty idea—and I could use any upgrade to my sleep routine—so my partner and I decided to give it a try.
This method uses two covers (whether it be a blanket, comforter, or duvet) rather than one to personalize your sleeping experience and minimize disturbing one another throughout the night. Typically, this works great for two people who co-sleep, since having two covers is significantly cheaper than having two beds. Top sheets aren't typically used in the Scandinavian Sleep Method but it's possible to make it work if you want it.
My partner and I have very different sleeping styles, and implementing the Scandinavian Sleep Method on a short-term basis felt like a great way to figure out how to best meet each other in the middle of our needs (instead of spending many mornings complaining about each other's blanket hogging and the like).
I tested this method for about a month, and turns out, that was as long as I could've done it for—let's talk about why.

Using a full-size bed/mattress, my partner kept his preferred full-size comforter and folded it in half with the «opening» being on the right. I folded my preferred twin-size comforter in half with the opening on the left.
To make the bed look less chaotic, we used our usual 4 pillows, a decorative pillow, and a throw blanket on the bottom of the bed to tie it all together.
The first thing I loved about this method was that I had more control over my blanket thickness and material. My partner's comforter is much thinner than I usually sleep with, and I felt much warmer using my fluffy comforter rather than his thin one.

The Dos and Don’ts of Direct Sowing
Sowing a seed directly into the ground, nurturing it, and reaping the rewards is one of the easiest gardening activities you can do—yet many gardeners don’t. There are many reasons to direct sow. Often, you’ll have earlier harvests because the seeds will germinate when it’s the perfect time to grow, and stronger seedlings because transplant shock isn’t an issue. Planting seeds in general (instead of buying transplants) gives you more varietal options, and you can also save a lot of money (1 packet of 30 to 150 seeds often costs less than a 6-pack of plants). And then there is the personal satisfaction factor. Ask any child who has planted a sunflower seed how they feel when that flower towers over their head, and you’ll understand what I mean.

How to Grow and Care for a Juniper Tree
Common juniper (Juniperus communis) is one of only three conifers native to the UK. It’s a member of the cypress family and grows on chalk or limestone in lowland areas, and moors, woodland and cliffs in northern Britain. Juniper is in decline in wild populations and has been designated a UK Biodiversity Action Plan priority species. This special tree has disappeared from several areas in the south of England. Many remaining colonies are so small that they’re considered functionally extinct. Scotland is now the stronghold for 80 per cent of the UK’s juniper trees.
