I bought a Saatva mattress after months of research. My boyfriend and I went to the showroom and ended up buying a different style mattress than the one we were thinking about getting. Sidenote: He has been battling on and off low back pain after a severe disc derangement (from what I can tell is the likely culprit) in his 20’s.

He woke up stiff on a good day and in pain on a bad day until the new mattress. Since our first night sleeping in the new bed in October, he wakes up comfortable every day.

I’m not exaggerating. I’ve never slept better and more comfortably either.

So when they approached me about collaborating, I said absolutely.

VERY high-value health-related investment!

Tis the Season for Health Policy Valentines!

In 2012, HHS staffer Emily Sandoe started posting health policy valentines on Twitter every day leading up to Valentine’s Day. It inspired tons of others to start doing the same.

It’s a tradition in the health policy wonk world ever since.

Here are some of the ones on Twitter today. Then I’ll share mine!

Here’s mine!

If it seems extra cheesy, it’s because Notion AI helped me write it. 😍 

I just put a calendar reminder in Notion for for next year to share a health policy Valentine every day for the week leading up to February 14 💓 

Happy Valentine’s Day!
