Abstract
It begins with two people, one blanket, and two very different ideas of what’s a comfortable sleeping temperature. By midnight, one partner is hot and sweaty while the other is freezing.
Sounds familiar? You’re not alone.
Many couples have nightly arguments over blankets or doonas, bedroom temperature and differing sleep habits. Poor sleep and relationship strain can follow.
So it’s no wonder couples are curious about the “Scandinavian sleep method”, which is having a moment on social media.
But what is it? And will it end your nightly “doona drama”, as TikTok suggests?
