Sleep Still
My wife changed her sleeping habit recently. Yes she still sleeps 8 hours a day or more, and yes she still sleeps like she just had four bottles of morphine. But now she sleeps with a lot of pillows. She needs at least one more pillow to support her back. It was suggested in every pregnancy book that she'd better sleep on her side. And if you want to know why, the answer is simple, I cannot remember.
There are so many tips in the books that I can no longer remember the logics behind them. But I still follow them anyway. Because otherwise it might cause any harmful consequences, such as mood swings or craving craze, that I don't want to face.
So she needs more pillows, at least one bolster for her to hug and one pillow to hold her back. I don't have any problem with those pillows, except that our bed is only queen size, and with my body expanding at the rate of 1 kg per month, I don't have enough space to do my routine sleep maneuver, such as turning from left to right, and back again, and roll over and 360°sommersault. No, sorry, of course I don't do that. But the point is that now I have less space on the bed. And I am surprisingly okay with that. Just as my wife is getting used to sleep on her side, I also am getting used to sleep without much movement. So I am fine and can sleep well. But of course I still need my extra coffee everyday.
