2 questions - completely unrelated.

1.) Does anyone here have a memory foam mattress? Do you like? Is your sex life ruined because of it?

sweatysleep.) I need help sleeping on a plane. Tylenol PM doesn't knock me out. I need a fail safe, since I am taking a red eye and going into the office. Tell me of your drugs.

Re: 2 questions - completely unrelated.

  • I think someone asked recently about memory foam and many said it was good for the sex, including mod.

     

    Tylenol with codeine? Can you get a script?

  • 1) we have a memory foam mattress.  I love it.  Sex life is not ruined.

    Sweatysleep) Fran swears by Ambien on his long flights.  Except once on a flight to Tokyo he woke up on an empty plane with all the flight attendants looking at him nervously.  He had slept through landing and de-planing. Now he takes half an Ambien instead of a whole one.

  • We have a Tempur-pedic and love it. Our sex was fantastic before and it's fantastic after, so I don't think it changed us either way.

    As far as sleepies, I like Unisom.

  • we have a memory foam bed.  It's not great for sexing, but where there's a will, there's a way. It is amazing for sleeping, and more than worth the tradeoff.  There are lots of places to sex, but only one place I sleep.

    My drug of choice for plane sleeping is wine. That's probably not helpful.

  • 1)  We have a latex mattress that is not memory foam.  Not sure if your sex question applies but the problem I have is that it makes me get hot really easily and I sweat.  It's gross.  It's so comfy though.  It might be worth it.

    2)  I'm a fan of Ambien for flights.  I take it when I get on and then I'm good to go in the morning (assuming it's a red eye).

  • Memory foam. Sex is fine. In fact better than the hotel bed we have this weekend.

  • Thanks! We are making some renovations and I think we are going to get a new mattress. Hey Groupon!

    Now on to see if I can get some Ambien.

  • Sex is pretty much the same on a memory foam mattress.

    I have no advice on the second. I took a red eye back from Whoregon and went straight to work and regretted it. But maybe I should have asked for advice here before doing that.

    Yeah, that is what I have to do. Drive into Boston, 7 hours on a plane and then drop off bags at hotel and go into the office.

  • My friend cooked food in the middle of the night on ambien one time. She went down the next day and had some kind of Indian beef dish sitting on the stove.
  • Fran has the weirdest conversations with me after he's taken Ambien, and before he falls asleep.  It makes me wonder what he does on the airplane, but it seems to work for him.
  • I have super weird convos with mr. Mod after ambien. On planes though, I just read until I fall asleep.

  • Unisom, Sominex, Benadryl, and Tylenol PM are all the same drug.

    I second the Ambien.  It's a mild hallucinogen, so I like to try to stay awake as long as I can after taking it to see what happens.  I watched the design in the seat fabric rearrange itself into many interesting patterns the last time I took it on a plane.  I love it!

  • I took Ambien once and I didn't read the directions and was tripping balls. Then I didn't sleep for three days. Never took it again. Noooooo thank you.

    HA! I once made Mr. Mod look at the book I was reading because the words were moving and I wanted to know how that could happen.

  • I hate our tempurpedic and I hated it even more when I was pregnant.  It got so hot and trying to roll out of that mother when I was so big, was miserable.  I also think it hasn't been the greatest for sex,but then again, we haven't had sex in so long, I can't remember.

    That's exactly how it started for me! I was on my laptop and the words were marching around like ants.
