3 cool new ways to track (and improve) your sleep Well, yes, mainly because the blue light that devices like your iPhone emit while you scroll through Instagram in bed is not great for setting you up for a night of solid shut-eye.

So I had this uber expensive Harbor Plush Sealy mattress that turned to shite after a year, never got around to Sleep Train to tell them to suck it and take it back. So after 5yrs of misery I decided to pull the trigger on one of those memory foam mattresses, but after some research the big name Tempur-Pedic cheapest one was 2kish. I recall getting a Costco email ad and one of the products was a memory foam mattress by the name of Novaform . So I Googled the hell out of Novaform and read some pretty good reviews and the best part was that it was about a third thee cost of a tempur-pedic. I order the King sized Fresh Dreams version online knowing that it will be shipped to my house and that Costco has a god head return policy. It came super folded, deceptivly small and weighed 140lbs, 2 of us could not get it up the stairs. We had to borrow a dolly and get 3 of us to get it up the stairs, I could not imagine having to return this beast. I cut it out of he plastic wrap and hear a whoosh...

We were seriously just barely treading water in week one, I compare it to those circus people who have multiple plates spinning on tall sticks. First 4 days was brutal, I mean brutal, but now we have moms milk! baby lost some weight which is normal but she lost a bit more than that and that had doc concerned, not good. We were a bit freaked, so doc said to supplement with formula (apparently this is a major taboo, i started a major flame war on craigslist about this), after she finally fed it was like she was high on peyote or something. Crying suddenly stopped, and she slept which meant we slept, which is freakin awesome! We no longer need the formula and things are now rocking, we are on a good schedule with 2 hr sleep intervals every 3hrs. We average about 4-6 hrs a night now which is a vast improvement on our previous meth head like hours. Oh and we now have poo, we got our first monster one last night right after we gave Sophia a sponge bath (ironic i know). I never knew that stuf...
