Pillow Talk: What Does Your Bedroom Say About You?

I probably spend more time in bed than the average non-convalescent. If I'm home and awake which is not my preferred state-I'm either reading or writing in bed, something any wellness guru will tell you is not good for you. But wellness gurus operate on the knowledge gleaned from averages, and I'm nothing if not an outlier-and this is not a boast. Sample this. I like warm beer, am bored by thrillers, and I'll only shop with a gun to my head. Bed is a safe space for those who live at an awkward angle from classic wisdom and popular trends. Hide under a blanket and you're invisible. Or is it invincible?

Sleep vs relationship etiquette Considering my bed addiction, I'm naturally interested in bed linen and duvets, an exception to my no-shopping rule. Blankets are the objects you're most in physical contact with on a daily basis, and so they need to be so much more personalised than 'look-at-me' lampshades or 'aren't-I-smart?' fridge magnets. To find one that suits you perfectly might take years. I'm glad to report I've recently found one whose monochrome (but not dull) looks, soft (but not limp) texture, large (but not intimidating) size and comforting (but not twee) blanketness make it a wraparound joy.
