A local woman has found herself caught in a nightly tug-of-war between basic human comfort and the futile desire to halt time, as she once again attempts the elusive art of back sleeping.
Georgie Raynor, 32, says she’s been ‘really trying to give this whole back sleeping thing a red-hot go’ after her Instagram algorithm decided she needed to be repeatedly traumatised by dermatologists warning about the horrors of side sleeping.
“It all started with one innocent video about satin pillowcases,” Georgie explained, “now I can’t open my phone without seeing someone telling me that sleeping on my side will give me huge nasolabial folds.”
“I didn’t even know what those were six months ago.”
According to Georgie, she’s spent years sleeping curled up on her right side but has recently been trying to force herself to sleep like a vampire.
“I’ve really tried to become a back sleeper but it’s bloody uncomfortable. I think the only thing that could stop me is getting a tragus piercing on both ears.”
Letting out a small huff, Georgie admits she’s finding it hard to keep up with all these beauty trends.
“I suppose at some point you’ve just got to let all this shit go and just fucking live your life, you know?”
More to come.
