Um, I'm I had not heard of Cozy Earth until recently. And I got these awesome PJs and their sheets, which I have right here. And I'm going to share something, share something here. Were women of a certain age. I think mine is like maybe older than yours. But there are certain age women of my certain age tend to get very sweaty at night. It's disgusting. I don't know why it just isn't the thing. I it's been so bad for so long. And then I got the Cozy Earth sheets. I've been sleeping on them for three nights. And I have not woken up sweaty one time in three nights. me, they're really just like the softest sheets I've ever, ever slept on. And wait don't you love how they come in a little tote bag is I have my tote bag to show everybody. So I don't know if I can get her own way. You know,

Unknown:

I love it. My mother wanted like she didn't she was like, where did you get that? I was like, actually, that's what my sheets came. And she like stole it for me. SO

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

It's very cute. Yes, it's very, I had to pocket I'm totally going to use this as like a tote bag purse. Um, so basically, they wick moisture. They're super luxurious and soft and wonderful sheets. And they have all kinds of loungewear and stuff. And they asked us to do this live and to share with you. My coupon code, of course is MomCaveTV. I believe that gives you $50 off, and somebody who buys from cozy Earth tonight will win $200 credit for being a mom caver. So I will I'm going to flash up on screen that info real quick. Go. So I'll put all of that in the description and in the comments. And then we're going to do our quiz. So everybody, we want you to jump in and participate in our quiz with us. Okay, excellent. Make up this quiz. And we're gonna see what we know about moms and sleep other than we don't get enough. Okay. Um, kids, and that they don't sleep enough. We know that. So according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, how many hours of sleep do we think that kids should get? And there's the two categories of like, school aged kids six to 12 and teens. 13 to 18. So give me your guests and Okay, comments how many hours of sleep? Suzanne said 10.

Bethany:

I said I'm thinking and also this is so embarrassing, because you know, I'm a parenting. I'm a mom of two boys. I should be like, I should know this. But like, I'm not 100% Sure I would. I think I might guess 10 as well.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

You guessed 10 Okay, um, for ages six to 12 they recommend nine to 12 hours.

Bethany:

I wish my kids slept 12 hours.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

And teens, eight to 10 hours. All right.

Bethany:

Yeah. They do a lot of that growing overnight right? like they need that sleep.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

The growing the brain developing all of that overnight. And it's so funny because my we were just talking about this before we went live, my kids are so overscheduled right now. But like with the baseball and the dance recitals in the after school that they're getting to sleep later and later and I can tell they are grumpy.

Bethany:

But do you find like that they're worn out because my kid is very active to my older son, he does baseball, he does all this, but he's still not able to like wind down. I'm like, How much do I have to run? You? Try to like, get go to sleep. But can you just imagine for a second? Jen, if your kids actually slept 12 hours straight? Like,

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

let's just be honest, that's half the day. Um, we don't need 12 hours of sleep. So that will give us quite a few hours. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I would like that very much. Well, my daughter is is kind of like that. So I wonder. My daughter never will say she's tired, never has in her life said she's tired. Always has more energy than me. But she basically like will just scream. I'm not tired. I'm not going to bed until she does literally pass out.

Bethany:

She just collapses.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

So there's hope that at least the kid will collapse? Okay. I've got this is my favorite question of the evening. Okay, you guys weigh in? Who, according to experts, needs more sleep, men or women? What do you all think in the comments?

Bethany:

That's so funny. I mean, I don't know what the experts say. But I can tell you who gets more sleep in my house.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

Right. Yeah, I think that, whether it's a biological thing, because you know, we have to, like, grow humans. So there's that and like, just having a body that's ready at any moment to grow humans. And then it's done growing humans and then like, recovering from that. All of all of the very productive stuff. That's like, that's enough. All of the hormones Suzanne Brooks is saying women of course. Um, but I think that even if that weren't a factor, and we're going to look at the answer in a minute, I think just like the whole, the carrying of all the things the mental load, as they call it, is gonna make us need more sleep.

Bethany:

Absolutely. That is so exhausting, that that I would definitely say I mean, I mean, for me, this is like a no brainer. Like, I'm so curious. If the answer is sort of like it opposite of what we're thinking, I really want to know who these experts are.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

Right they're fired. They're basically fired from being sleep experts. Okay, so this is according to researchers at the Loughborough University UK based sleep research center. And they found that women do use their brains more than men. All right, that that tracks, so much so that they do require more sleep.

Bethany:

All right, good job, guys, That was. No, I can't. I can only see us. Let me see.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

Right here. It's in black and white guys. So if you need me to send this with no annotations to your significant other, right, I'm so happy to do so. Okay, I just wanted to quickly see if I could show you all some of my, my Cozy New tab. Oh, maybe? I don't know. Oh, see? You see, this is Earth things. Let's say, here's how I do that. Do you know I can share a tab? It's like we're on a zoom. I love that. You guys see? Okay, these are just some of the amazing things that they have for women. And this is what I want. Can you see it on your screen? Bethany? why women also need more sleep because we have our brains have to do a lot of things right now. There you go. My brain did that thing. Okay, so I'm just gonna hide Bethany for one second to make this bigger. And you can see this is the women's section. They've got stuff for women, they've got stuff for men, they have bedding, they have bath. Everything is so incredibly soft. And you can use my code MomCaveTV to get your credit. But wait, I want to just show everyone very quickly. The thing? Where did they go? There's this lounge pants. I mean, look at these, like you could wear these to pick children up at school. And look at that comfy sleep mask. Anyhow, that is why you want to go check out that website. It's amazing. And I'm bringing Bethany back on because we have more parenting quiz questions to go. Okay. So we did who needs more sleep? Ah. When do most babies start sleeping through the night? And they define that a six to eight hours of sleep? Oh, that's a good one. What do you guys think? Comment and tell us when do you think most babies the average babies start sleeping through the night?

Bethany:

Yeah, I'm thinking of my own kids. And they were of course, so like, vastly different. That is, like no real barometer.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

Jessica is saying four months, four

Bethany:

Four months? Ooh, good for you. Yeah, really? I was gonna say like, more like eight, eight to 10.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

Eight years? No. My daughter, she's definitely eight,

Bethany:

right? Eight to 10 months. But it's not like for me at least it wasn't like consistent. It was like eight to 10 maybe like four times a week. I would get like, you know, through the night. Yeah. Yeah.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

I was always surprised when I had my first and they said six hours was what they defined just sleeping through the night because I was like, that's not enough sleep for me. No. Well, if the baby isn't sleeping the whole way through what I need to sleep that's not through the night. Suzanne Brooks sets probably a year. Well, like I said, in my own experience I have my youngest child still does not sleep through the night. Every single night she wakes up, uses the bathroom and then comes to find me. And the last few nights it's been with the Cozy Earth sheets and it's making it harder for her not to sleep in my bed. I do have to say

Bethany:

I will say my my seven year old is obsessed with him to like, so there's this whole thing with like, do people even use like the top sheet anymore? And admittedly like I don't, but I do with the Cozy Earth because he's obsessed. It's like his favorite thing to just like cuddle, cuddle it. So we do break out the Cozy Earth top sheet.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

It's great. Yeah, we should do a whole live on that. Like there's there are people with very strong opinions.

Bethany:

Sheets. My mother is so pro top sheet. She can't really even fathom the idea that people aren't using it for her. It's like it's like, she can't even believe that

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

mine too. She's like, it's I don't use one either. It's like she thinks we're savages. Right? Yeah, it's like, do you did I raise you in a barn

Bethany:

like disgusting?

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

Okay, let's see, I lost my train of thought, again, because moms don't get enough sleep. So this was according to Stanford Medicine, children's health, they said that the average baby will sleep through the night at about three months old or until or when they weigh about 12 to 13 pounds. Well, I knew my kids weren't average, but

Bethany:

Right. And what about all do they want all that sleep regression? Like, oh, come on. I don't.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

I mean, Stanford. I know. They're all official, but I don't know. Yeah.

Bethany:

I'm not buying now.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

I'm not buying. I'm not buying it. I believe what I want to believe. Okay, so we're gonna, let's do oh, here's a good one. How many hours of sleep? Do we think the average mom gets a night and the average dad gets a night? Oh, pop your answer in the comments.

Bethany:

I'm so curious to see what other people say about this. I'm very

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

curious. I'm always curious about other people's sleep. Like, do I sleep? Not enough too much are other people like me? You know, it's

Bethany:

so yeah. And as some are sort of creeping up. I know. I've been pushing the bedtime later and later even though they're still in school for like, another couple of weeks. But yeah, bedtime is getting up there. And now that like it's lighter outside,

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

so I know. I know. Well, the Little League is keeping us up till like, you know, we didn't get home. So after eight o'clock last night. Oh, my goodness. It is crazy. Okay, I'm waiting to see if anybody has any guesses on this one. On the average, mom's night sleep and the average is Dad's night. So let's say Suzanne has one she thinks mom five to seven dad seven to 10

Bethany:

Yeah, I was gonna say women six dads, probably that solid eight.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

Okay. I'm gonna say in my family. I do you have to admit, I get more sleep than my husband. Because I always have felt that I need more sleep for him. And I'm right. And he works weird hours. So I don't know when in our family. It's not that Okay, so the actual answer is, you know, where did I put the actual answer? Where is the actual answer?

Bethany:

We could probably Google it real quick.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

Oh my Lord. Well, I guess I lost the answer. Because I've lost my mind. Because children and sleeping but

Bethany:

we will look at that. Let's go with what was it Suzanne? I liked

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

her answer then. Okay. Um, let's this is all about being live and being spontaneous. So how many hours of sleep? Does the average mom get?

Bethany:

God bless the internet, right?

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

Okay, but we have to have a good source Health Line says between five and six hours of sleep.

Bethany:

All right, that's not.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

Okay, I'm not even going to look for the guys because it's obviously more than that.

Bethany:

It has to be right, someone's got to be sleeping in your house.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

Somebody has to be sleeping. So if you go over to cozyearth.com, and use this discount code, you will get a credit on something fabulous, like these very soft PJs, or these very soft sheets. And I'll put that all like in the description in the comments later. So we have I think two more questions, let's say, Well, we have Okay, we have three. Okay. This is a good one. Speaking of top sheets and fitted sheets, when do you think fitted sheets were invented? Bethany?

Bethany:

Oh my gosh, I never thought about something like that. I just assumed they were always around as long as we had.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

Well, I guess you needed elastic. Right?

Bethany:

Right. All right. 1930 something I don't know.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

Something is a good good guess before fitted sheets. You know, it was just sheets and just folded this sheet over.

Bethany:

I didn't like check it in probably hotel style. I'm thinking

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

totally. The answer is 1959 was when it was 1959. They are pretty new. Yeah. A child has entered the room every one of you have probably a poison ivy. Well, that's a problem. You went in the woods. Oh my goodness. The whole internet. Oh, no. Okay, well, let me finish this up. And then we'll take care of the poison ivy. Okay. Living in the country. It's craziness.

Bethany:

But your child enter the room. My child has been here the whole time. Versus being quiet. That's amazing. Because the TV on really low.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

That's how we do it. That's how moms do it. Okay, we have oh, one more question. Okay. Is, according to this old house, which we all know is a good source for anything. How long do single people and marry people go before changing their sheets?

Bethany:

Oh, my goodness. I feel like I might have changed them more when I was single. Because I had more time.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

You have more time? Also? I don't know. Depending if you thought maybe you were having someone over. If you wanted to impress. You might change your sheets more often. Exactly.

Bethany:

And I mean, I know I'm not the only parent out there who has definitely thrown a towel over to like a little bit of puke or maybe a little pee. Because you're so exhausted.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

Just change. Right? Anybody got any? Any? Let's see. Yeah, Suzanne saying she means like, wash them? Yeah, we mean she's usually

Bethany:

clean on say, though dirty was off with a clean,

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

clean sheets. Yeah, she's guessing once a week. Okay. Now this old house says that on average, single people go 37 days No! Before changing their sheets. No, it's in relationships tend to or No, married couples go 19.9 days. That's still a little too long. That's a little too long, guys. Now, I'm not judging anybody. Because I probably have done that. But I try not to. Yeah,

Bethany:

I mean, the towel thing I mentioned was just like the middle of the night and then when I woke up the next day.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

Leave it there. Right.

Bethany:

Right. Oh, I'm shocked about that. Actually.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

You need who whoever this is. If they have the cozy earth sheets maybe they would love it so much because they're so soft and so wonderful that they would change them more often to wash them and take care of them.

Bethany:

Yes, I take really good care of mine actually. They say no softeners nothing like that. Like I really do take good care of mine.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

what is the washing situation with these sheets, Bethenny you must know. Yeah,

Bethany:

for my ex because I was I love these sheets so much and you know they're a bit of a splurge but well worth it I you know, read the instructions and I'm pretty sure you can sort of wash with like, you know, a good detergent or your normal detergent, but no fabric softener and then just Tumble dry low. That's what I do. So that they last a long time. And they do and they're also and I don't quote me on this, but I feel like they get softer with each wash. Like I think they might be fabricated to do that. Like the more you Yeah, the more that you use them and wash them they get softer. So I don't know if that's like an official feature of them but for me that's been definitely been the case. They're incredible.

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:

Yeah, they're they're super wonderful and organic and all natural and all the good things you don't have to worry and your children will want to be in your bed even

Bethany:

I know it is past 8 and I get it like more than

Jennifer Weedon Palazzo:
