By causing you to overbalance and thus shorten your life expectancy dramatically?

(which reminds me, I've not any of my muscle/tendon stretches or my balance exercises for far too long!)

You may die falling over if you are seriously past your use by date!

I've always slept in a high bed. I could even climb down those stairs while half-asleep (like in the middle of the night...)

And we don't have monsters under our bed, and even if we did, they can't get out as our bed is a closed box

Also, I don't make it too loud, so I don't get headache when the radio is triggered.

I sleep with ear plugs, so if it's not loud enough, I can't hear an alarm clock.

If I remember correctly from the photo Sweetpea posted, she means that the lower part of the bed, the frame, is a closed box.

I've always wanted an alcove bed. Right now I have a tiny bedroom, which almost, but not quite, amounts to the same thing.

Yep.

Naturally, if we put the head part up, we often do have two monsters under the bed, who don't want to come out..

We'll have to change our morning routine. Our kitchen has been installed so, now we can get boiling hot water out of the tap. Which means, we don't have to wait till the other one is done showering (because before, if one was showering, and the other took water to boil, the one in the shower would either freeze or be cooked...) Also, we don't have a fridge in the kitchen yet, so we'll have to go to the utility room (where we do have a fridge), get the butter and such, move back to the kitchen, prepare our breakfast and lunch, and bring the butter and such back to the utility room. Which is at completely the other side of the house...

Or you could picnic in the utility room

As I work nights, and only 8 hour shifts (worked 12 hour shifts for 13 years), I wake up naturally, sans alarm, at whatever time the body wills it....yup, you do wake up naturally, one does NOT need an alarm clock, stagger down stairs, thanks to three knee surgeries (only two knees) and have coffee, and cold cereal in front of the computer, reading MR, and slateroid. VERY relaxed for the first time in approx 40 plus years of school and work.

Darling cheesehead, I was yards to greasy.
Oh-oh, me ears are alight.

sweet one, please do translate this to us. will you kindly? so that we can share it.
