0:23

0:25

Okay, one judgment. Anyway,

0:27

give it a try

0:29

at mintmobile.com, We're

0:32

for people doing the creative work they

0:34

actually want to do. That's why this

0:36

ad was written and read by a real

0:39

person and not AI. You know what

0:41

people don't want to do? Boring busy

0:43

work. Now with AI agents built

0:45

more, so your people can focus

0:53

on the work that they want to

0:55

do. That's putting AI agents to

0:57

work for people. It's your

1:00

turn. Visit servicenow.com. How

1:05

can my partner

1:07

and I get better sleep together?

1:10

Thanks for asking. If

1:13

your partner is constantly snoring, hogging

1:16

the blanket or tossing and turning

1:18

every five minutes and you're finding

1:20

it increasingly challenging to share a

1:22

bed, know that you're not alone. A

1:25

2017 study revealed that while

1:27

50 % of people sleep

1:29

as a couple, 41 % prefer

1:31

solo slumber and 54 %

1:33

feel sleep deprived. So

1:35

how do you ensure your relationship

1:37

doesn't mess with your sleep? There

1:39

are some tricks to make co

1:41

-sleeping more manageable. First off,

1:44

it's crucial to pick the right bed.

1:46

Mattress is now coming a much wider

1:48

range of sizes than before. The

1:50

bigger the bed, the more

1:52

comfortable you'll both be. A

1:54

2012 study by the Bedding

1:56

Association found that couples switching

1:59

to 160x200cm beds experienced a

2:01

15 % increase in sleep

2:03

time. For partners who move

2:05

a lot during the night, twin

2:07

beds could be a solution. Two

2:09

single beds pushed together allow for

2:11

personal space while sharing a room.

2:13

That will significantly help preserve your

2:15

sleep if your partner tends to

2:17

have restless sleep. And

2:20

what if my other half is a blanket thief? A

2:23

second tip is to use two

2:25

separate blankets instead of one. This

2:27

avoids tugs of war and a

2:29

chilly gap that can develop when

2:31

sleeping back to back. It also

2:33

caters to individual temperature preferences, letting

2:35

a colder sleeper opt for a

2:37

warmer blanket. Now what if

2:39

your partner has nightmares or shouts in

2:41

their sleep? In such cases,

2:43

seeking advice from a sleep specialist might

2:46

be a smart move. That's definitely

2:48

the case if your partner moves a

2:50

lot, screams or senses danger. It's

2:52

even more true if it's the

2:54

first time they've exhibited such

2:57

behaviour. That indicates something abnormal during

2:59

sleep, that needs investigation, exploration

3:01

and treatment. If

3:03

snoring becomes an issue, a consultation might

3:05

be in order too. If

3:07

it gets too complicated, you can

3:10

always consider separate sleeping arrangements to

3:12

safeguard your sleep. There

3:14

you have it. Now

3:16

you know how you and your

3:18

partner can get better sleep together.

3:20

In under 3 minutes we answer

3:23

your questions and help you understand

3:25

the true meaning behind the trends,

3:27

concepts and acronyms that are making

3:29

headlines. Listen along and you will

3:31

really know for sure. Baa
