The Scandinavian Sleep Method is here to save your relationship

Sleeping with a partner can be tricky. Different people can have different sleep styles (like when one person sleeps like a log, perfectly still all night, while the other tosses and turns). And different people generally have different temperature and blanket preferences.

Enter the Scandinavian Sleep Method, which went viral last year thanks to Swedish influencer Cecilia Blomdahl. With this method, couples sleep in the same bed, but instead of sharing one large blanket, they each get their own smaller one. It gives them more freedom to move around and regulate their own temperature while they sleep — and you have to admit, it’s pretty genius, whether the blanket is designed with this sleep method in mind or just captures the spirit of sleeping Scandinavian style.
