Wanted Bed Warmer

I may be leaving Maine to live in England to pursue a new profession, human bed warmer. I think I have finally found the perfect job for your pal to help the people of the whole world. Because climbing into a cold bed at night is one of those shocking moments. So shocking that it instantly curls you into the fetal position. This is done automatically to minimize your body's contact to the freezing sheets. And why do I feel this pain for everyone, your pal, sleeps in my skin pajamas. So the shock of those cold sheets, curls your pal into the fetal position so tight, that I could possibly fit very comfortably into a bowling bag. I feel their pain.

I have just recently heard of this employment opportunity from article that I read coming out of England. Guests who don’t want to hop into a cold bed at one English hotel now have a way to warm up. By offering staff member the job of warming your bed for them. The Holiday Inn's Kensington, London, location will offer a free five-minute “human bed warming” service.

Dr. Chris Idzikowski of the Edinburgh Sleep Center said that a warm bed is important for a good night's rest. "There's plenty of scientific evidence to show that sleep starts at the beginning of the night when body temperature starts to drop," he said. "A warm bed is a good way to start this process.

So if you don't see me around for a while or if you start to see Willie's Worlds posts being peppered with phrases like "Top of the morning governor" or "jolly good"' or pronouncing aluminum "al-u-MIN-i-um", you know I am ruffing it in England in a cold bed.
