Dear Heloise: This is a hint for those couples whose sleeping needs and styles are so incompatible that they either sleep poorly every night in the same bed or have to resort to separate beds or even separate bedrooms. I sleep like a rock and prefer the covers tightly tucked around me. My husband, due to insomnia and restless leg syndrome, tosses, turns, kicks, steals the covers in his sleep and is generally impossible to sleep in the same bed with.

Your earring is secure for as long as it takes to locate the dropped back.Dear Heloise: I have a hint that might prove helpful to those who have trouble distinguishing slacks, socks, etc., as navy blue from black in indoor lighting. Stitch white or light-colored thread inside the seam above the hemline on the inside of one or both trouser legs, and remember what this signifies - either black or blue.

But the air mattress has additional comfort features that cannot be found on other types of beds.

Sleeping is something that you will start to enjoy again.According to the dictionary an air mattress is an inflatable mattress, usually made of some type of plastic material. After reading this definition it doesn't make you want to rush out and purchase one. After all, who wants to sleep on a cold piece of plastic? But the air mattresses of today are so much more than a large rectangular plastic balloon. They even offers options not available to box spring or foam mattress owners.My dear bride, the saintly Susan, likes to tell the story of the night I got into a brief fight with the headboard. She awakened just in time to hear me slam an elbow into the wooden headboard.This way, we can snuggle before sleep but then have our own separate sleeping spaces. Because we each have our own mattress, I never feel his tossing and turning at all, and he never steals my covers! For folks like us who are on a tight budget, try going online. We got frame, mattresses, linens and rental of a moving van for less than $300.- Edwin Newman, Trussville, Ala.Stop giggling! I'm talking about sleeping as in slumber, and the fact of the matter is there are adjustments to be had in going from a twin bed to a shared mattress.- Penny, via e-mailCut out to conform with a cake pan bottom.

I had and have no memory of the event.- HeloiseCut the cereal bag open and use as a surface for rolling out biscuits or pie crusts.The more expensive ones have high quality pumps that come attached, allowing for easy and quick inflation or deflation. Pump them up by pushing a button and then deflate them by pushing another button. Adjust the firmness or softness with one finger. It couldn't get any easier unless you had someone else push the button for you. And deflating them entirely can be done in a matter of seconds. It should be noted that not all brands and models have pumps. If you are strapped for cash you can certainly find a cheap one that must be inflated manually. These cheap brands can save you some money and give you more exercise than you want, both at the same time.
