​What is the Scandinavian sleeping method?​

A new sleeping method is going viral over the internet and you must learn about this before the winter arrives. It is called the Scandinavian sleep method and is going viral on TikTok. There are several reasons, which are mentioned in this article, on why you should implement this method.

In this, you and your partner sleep under two single duvets or comforters instead of one larger duvet. A video on bedroom makeover by Erica Stolman Dowdy has over 6.2 million views on YouTube. Dowdy did a bedroom makeover after a trip to Denmark. The Insider reported: She started by switching out her white sheets for pink linen, saying, "There are no sad beige houses in Copenhagen." Then, she removed her comforter and replaced it with two twin-sized duvets. Swedish influencer Cecilia Blomdahl has popularised this sleep method on TikTok.

The Scandinavian sleep method, often referred to as the "Nordic sleep method" or "Nordic sleep secrets," is a concept associated with sleep patterns and habits commonly observed in Scandinavian countries, which include Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland. It encompasses several cultural and lifestyle practices that contribute to good sleep hygiene. These practices are based on the idea of maximizing comfort, relaxation, and overall well-being in order to promote better sleep quality. Here are a few key elements of this sleeping method.

Each person sleeping in their own duvet helps regulate the body temperature better, especially during the winters. Body temperature varies from individual to individual; some people are more sensitive to heat and cold than others. Hence, this makes the Scandinavian sleep method the best one. "Using two duvets allows each person freedom over their temperature while sleeping. Someone who is colder can fully wrap themselves in their duvet. Someone who sleeps hotter has the ability to sleep with a lighter blanket or drape their duvet over part of their body, exposing their legs or feet on either side for airflow. Two duvets also solve blanket hogging so that each person can sleep according to their own preferences without disruption," a portal named Sleep Foundation says.

This sleep method can save your relationships particularly if you have a partner who has a different sleep cycle from yours or is restless during sleeping. "This was a huge problem for me in my last relationship. I'm very particular about how I sleep -- I need my own blanket and it has to be a lightweight fleece. I feel suffocated by anything heavier and I don't like having one edge of it "open" (it needs to be wrapped around me). My partner got very upset about this, saying that it meant I didn't love him. I found this sleeping situation online (also called the "Swedish" burrito), and it made him feel better," one user commented on the YouTube video that features Dowdy.

The Sleep Foundation has found out a few demerits of this sleeping method. Sleeping under two separate duvets may limit couple-friendly sleep positions, it says. This sleep method can not be implemented if you have a smaller bed. The bed may not look clean and tidy with two duvets on it.
