If you ask your mom to lie down with you, she’s going to fall asleep…
She will wake up in a panic and head downstairs to clean up the kitchen…
When she is cleaning the kitchen, she will notice that someone left a cup in the living room.
When she goes to get the cup out of the living room, she will notice that the TV was left on.
MY LATEST VIDEOS
When she goes over to turn off the TV, she will see that it is HGTV and they are playing her favorite show.
She will sit to watch her favorite show.
When she sits to watch her favorite show, she will remember that her husband just bought ice cream.
She will go to get her favorite ice cream and see the messy kitchen.
She will start cleaning the kitchen again and hear the washer beep.
She will go upstairs to get the laundry out of the washer and she will hear a voice.
When she turns to find the voice, she sees a 3 year old standing at her door.
She will go back to tuck the three year old in and she will hear “Will you sleep in my bed?”
She will lie down in bed and fall asleep, again.
When she wakes up ten minutes later, she will go to her room.
In her room, she will pick up the shoes and toys that were left in there.
She will put them into the closet, passing the bathroom along the way.
When she sees the bathtub, she will realize that she meant to clean it today.
Once it is clean, she decides she should enjoy a clean tub.
When the tub is clean, she puts on her favorite pajamas and turns on the show that she taped from before.
She will want to lay down, in bed, to watch her show.
When she gets into her BED, she thinks about all of the things that she forgot to do.
Thinking of the things that she forgot to do will remind her that she has an ongoing list on her dresser.
She gets out of her bed and finds the list.
Seeing the list reminds her that she wanted to leave little notes on the kid’s floors that say “GOOD MORNING!” so they will wake up and find them in the morning.
She writes their notes and takes them to their rooms.
Seeing them sound asleep reminds her that she is exhausted.
She goes to her room, gets into her bed and falls asleep for a few hours.
Then she hears someone call for her, because if you ask your mom to lie down with you, she’s going to fall asleep…♥
Ps- here is our bed (that we think is the absolute best bed anyone could ever own! Seriously!)

You have me from the title because I just knew it was going to be like the books! Now I’m going to have to show the bed option to hubs because we’ve been wanting a new bed. Thanks for the recommendation!
Becky (Your Modern Family) says
haha! That book is a favorite of ours. (And seriously- the bed is AMAZING. Not a night has gone by that one of us hasn’t said “This bed is awesome.” Or “I love this bed” since we got it. ahhh…. sleep. 😉
Nina says
Haha I think this one is a book in the making Becky 🙂 I haven’t heard of this product so thank you for sharing it. I agree—a good night’s sleep is so important!
Becky (Your Modern Family) says
hahaha!! Thanks, Nina!
Dawn says
My husband and I are ready for a new bed! We are currently sleeping in a full-sized bed with standard mattress and have been wanting to upgrade to a good queen-sized bed.
Becky (Your Modern Family) says
This one is AMAZING (seriously- like FANTASTIC!)
Amanda Sakovitz says
I need a good night sleep because I wake up in the middle of the night and feel tired the next day.
Becky (Your Modern Family) says
Agreed!
Colleen long says
My mind definitely races when I get into bed. I try to decompress for about an hour before I hit th hay, but sometimes I need to get out of bed and start reading so that I get tired. Reading some of my Dalai Lama book always does the trick!
Becky (Your Modern Family) says
hmm… good idea. 🙂
Angelica says
I’m such a mind racer when I’m trying to go to sleep! There have been countless nights where I wake up at 3 in the morning and just have to get something done, my hubby thinks I’m crazy. 🙂 My sleep quality has significantly improved since I went Paleo earlier this summer though! (Now I just need to get a new and wonderful mattress like you did!)
Becky (Your Modern Family) says
That’s me with not sleeping, but I am impressed by the paleo thing!!
Ally says
I work with older adults and I need a good night’s sleep to help as many people as I can 🙂
Becky (Your Modern Family) says
I bet!
Thomas Murphy says
I fall right asleep.
Claire says
My pillow has been bothering my neck lately, i think :/
Becky (Your Modern Family) says
Oh no- you should try the one above. seriously.
Ellie Wright says
I always have a problem shutting off my mind to fall asleep. it never fails that I toss and turn all night, especially if I know I have to get up early.
Becky (Your Modern Family) says
I know – I toss & turn thinking of different things when I get into bed. (and same thing- if I have to get up early, I just can’t sleep!)
Sarah L says
I have a hard time falling asleep (an hour or more). But once I’m asleep I don’t wake up until I have to go to the bathroom and then I can fall right back asleep.
Becky (Your Modern Family) says
I’m not much different.
bobbie torgson says
Hi, I need a good nights rest because….! Since I was pregnant 3 years ago, I had heartburn and then had to sleep in a recliner to help that. Then when child was born, I continued to sleep in recliner because every time I nursed her, it put me to sleep. Then, I got pregnant again…I have a 2 1/2 year old and 8 month old….now nursing her, I fall asleep STILL in that stupid chair. Some nights I get away for a while, but once she wakes to nurse again…i fall asleep again with her. And, sometimes, the other one wakes up and sure enough I cuddle her in that chair and off to sleep again! CRAZY!!
Becky (Your Modern Family) says
Oh no!! that’s hilarious that you sleep there!! lol! You need a bed!
Ashley says
I need a good nights sleep because I wake up in the middle of the night and have trouble falling back to sleep!
Becky (Your Modern Family) says
Me, too!
Marija says
I usually wake up multiple times throughout the night. Sometimes a little dose of extra melatonin helps me sleep more soundly, though.
Maddy says
I’m normally one of those people who gets into bed and thinks about 10000 things, including an embarrassing incident that happened 5 years ago, what my life goals are, contemplating the meaning of life, and so on. But pregnancy has cured that for me!!!! Even if I just sit down on the couch for a few minutes, I’m out like a light. :o) Bed even more so!
Michelle J. says
I’d love a good night’s sleep before my baby gets here!
Megan B says
I need a good night’s sleep because I’m finishing up law school and between the job applications, classes, reading, and extracurriculars (not to mention trying to see my fiance from time to time!) I would love to settle down at the end of the day and have a great night’s sleep to prepare me for the next day!
Tara says
I’m 36 weeks pregnant with my fifth child, which is both the reason I need a good night’s sleep AND the reason it probably won’t happen for at least another year or two! I use my phone to email myself new additions to my to-do list as I’m lying there trying to fall asleep, so at least I don’t have to get out of bed for that, but if I pick up my phone to email myself a reminder, then I’ll probably check Facebook… and if I check Facebook, then I’m going to see someone on the Internet who’s WRONG… and onward it goes! 😉
Soo says
I need a good night’s sleep because I have two young boys to chase around every day once I’m awake!
Audra says
Luckily I can sleep through anything lol
laura b says
I need a good night’s sleep to keep up with my 6 year old! Thanks for the chance!
Missy says
I need a good nights sleep because my kids wake me up too early.
wen budro says
Ugh….I have needed a good solid sleep for I don’t know how long. I’m exhausted when I get in bed but then the tossing and turning starts. Even when my mind is not racing….toss and turn….toss and turn. Ugh.
megan Tilley says
We co sleep and I am still breast feeding my daughter, I toss and turn when I go to sleep and never feel rested!
Birdiebee says
I have neck problems and have not been able to get more than 1-2 hours of sleep since my injury 2 1/2 years ago. I so can’t wait to get a good night’s sleep.
Fiona N says

I toss and turn too much, can’t turn off my stressful thoughts!
Joy Q says
I need a good nights sleep so that I can focus on work.
sandra says
I have trouble sleeping now b/c of pregnancy. I need all the sleep I can get despite pregnancy. I have a toddler full of energy.
Tamra H says
I’m lucky that I do tend to fall right to sleep once in bed. But I could always use to be comfier!
Dana says
I really need a good night’s sleep so that I will have enough energy to run after my kinds and not be a grouch!
Jena says
I have the blessed talent to be able to fall asleep really quickly but sometimes there are those awful nights when I can’t sleep. My coping mechanism is cleaning. Those are the days (nights) when my house becomes immaculate. My kids think that magic elves come on those nights… haha!
Hayley S says
I need a good night (or days!) sleep because I work 12 hour night shifts delivering babies, and our two little ones still get up during the night most of the time!
Becky (Your Modern Family) says
Oh wow!!
Emily Acker says
I get so stressed thinking about the future that I can’t relax.
Allison S. says
I can’t fall asleep unless I’m watching a movie or TV. Then I just watch until my eyes start to close. Otherwise, I lay awake thinking about everything and get no sleep!
Kelli Taylor says
Well I need good sleep because I am a single mom so for my kids, it’s all me all the time! I usually fall asleep pretty fast unless I’ve taken a nap earlier in the day which is rare.
Amanda says
Recently, I’ve been tossing and turning, flipping my pillows over trying to get comfy! But at least I get sleep. My husband has severe insomnia and he needs more sleep than I do lol.
Melissa L. says
When I go to bed I get jealous of my husband who seems to fall asleep so easily. And then I toss and turn for awhile until I can finally find the coziest spot. LOL Thanks for the fun giveaway! msmissy02 at gmail dot com
golden storm says

Teresa Moore says
I seem to have a hard time as of late falling asleep. I probably could use a new pillow. Mine are getting flat and I like my pillows fluffy.
Kate F. says
I need a good night’s sleep so I’ll be rested for work in the morning. I usually fall asleep pretty quickly, though.
Kelley Roach says
My husband and I are ready for a new bed!
Kristian says
If I don’t get a good nights sleep, I am not a good momma or teacher the next day.
Most nights when I get in bed my mind starts racing about all the events of the day or tomorrow’s events. It drives me crazy.
Diana Hatch says
I can fall asleep quickly but staying asleep is another story
Janine says
I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in five years! When I lay down with my two little ones to help them fall asleep (I sing and read stories every night), I sometimes fall asleep once they do. Once I’ve gotten my work done and actually go to bed, my mind is racing and I can’t sleep. It’s all worth it, for sure, but I definitely look forward to a day in the future when I get a good night’s sleep.
Holly Mitkowski says
I have a very hard time getting a good night’s sleep! My mind doesn’t stop and I also have endometriosis, so much of the time I am in a lot of pain 🙁
PatriceK says
I usually sleep well. The fan running in the summer acts as the perfect “white noise” machine. Need to figure something else out now that it’s fall and no more fan!
Kristine says
I need a good night sleep because almost 6 years ago I gave birth to my daughter and a week later I had a massiveq blood clot go to my lungs. My lungs were filled 90% with this clot, all my organs shut down. During sugury to remove the clot, I died a few times. My heart stopped for a total of 5 minutes. I was a diaylsis. I’m okay now, except for this blood clot started in my left leg. I can now only sleep on my right side. Not my left side or my back, so I really wake up sore every morning. My hip hurts, my back hurtsand my arms go numb. I really need a good bed to prevent me from hurting every morning. I’m sure in the near future I’m going to have a few problems with only having to sleep on my right side.
lissa crane says
I fall asleep right away, but I never sleep for very long since my bed is old and lumpy!
latanya says
my mind races or I end bringing my phone to bed and stay up way longer than I need to.
Vikki Billings says
I can not sleep because my mind is racing about everything and most of the time its because of my arthritis pain. I could use a good night sleep because I am tired all day long.
