When I first heard of the Scandinavian Sleep Method, I initially thought it was a pretty nifty idea—and I could use any upgrade to my sleep routine—so my partner and I decided to give it a try.
This method uses two covers (whether it be a blanket, comforter, or duvet) rather than one to personalize your sleeping experience and minimize disturbing one another throughout the night. Typically, this works great for two people who co-sleep, since having two covers is significantly cheaper than having two beds. Top sheets aren't typically used in the Scandinavian Sleep Method but it's possible to make it work if you want it.
My partner and I have very different sleeping styles, and implementing the Scandinavian Sleep Method on a short-term basis felt like a great way to figure out how to best meet each other in the middle of our needs (instead of spending many mornings complaining about each other's blanket hogging and the like).
I tested this method for about a month, and turns out, that was as long as I could've done it for—let's talk about why.
