A standard King bed is four inches shorter and four inches wider than a typical California King bed. Since this is the case, California King sheets will not be able to fit on top of a king mattress properly. The Cali king sheets would end up being too long and not wide enough for the actual dimensions of the bedding itself.

Fact

Watching TV burns more calories than sleeping. But it’s not by a lot. Watching TV only burns 10% more calories than sleep.

Myth

Hitting the snooze button helps you sleep.

If you didn’t sleep well during the night, the last thing you want to do is keep hitting the snooze button in the morning.

Any extra sleep you get in between alarms is fragmented and poor quality— you need deep sleep to feel rested in the morning, and you just can’t get that from hitting the snooze button in the morning. Not to mention, lingering in bed for too long can lengthen sleep inertia, or that feeling when you feel drowsy, sluggish, and just want to go back to sleep in the morning.

Instead, it’s important to rise with your morning alarm— whether you feel rested or not— so you can reduce sleep inertia and be more ready to take on your day.
