Modular Sleeping
Having worked in retail for many years I came to a truthful realization that people come in all different heights and sizes and this can really impact the type of furniture that is available for them. Something many sales people can take for granted. The challenge always is finding manufacturers who will make custom sizes that can be of benefit to the customer. This article hopes to provide some options available in bedroom furniture that are available for folks shopping that are over 6' tall and are just having a rough time finding that bed that fits.
Many of us may have a teenager or spouse who are rather tall. Buying furniture can be tough as most furniture manufacturers stick to conventional sizes rather than making custom sizes. There was one such instance in a store that I worked in where a rather tall gentleman about 6' 6" tall was just having an awful time trying to find furniture that would fit him. I remember his frustration not towards me but just in general about how difficult it was to find furniture that would fit. We spent a good hour going through the different pieces of furniture in the showroom. The store I worked in at the time didn't offer XL sizes or custom sizes in the beds or furniture and the customer thanked me for showing him around and understandably moved on in his search for furniture.
I remember that day well and came to a realization that many furniture manufacturers were not taking every customer into consideration when designing their furniture. Over time though these manufacturers began to catch on and living room furniture began being offered with adjustable headrests, dining room furniture would often be featured or available in high back chairs and the bedding industry began developing a series of sizes that could be implemented into bedroom furniture.
The three extra long sizes that are most used today in bedroom furniture and are considered somewhat standard when it comes to extra long are Twin XL 39"x 80", Full XL 54" x 80" and California King 72"x 85". The reason twin extra long and full extra long beds became so popular is that they were a very good size for growing teenagers who were too tall for standard twin or full size beds. Twin & Full extra long beds are 80" long or 6' 8" long. Queen size would have been just too wide for these young adult's rooms just like king sizes which would have taken up the entire room or dorm. XL sizes made a lot of sense in that they could save valuable wall space as the width stays the same but the length of the bed would be long enough to help make the bed more comfortable.
California king beds could be considered extra long beds for adults as they are 85" long or a little over 7' long. These are less wide than standard king beds and width-wise fall in between a queen and king bed. The length however is great for adults up to 7' tall and this is what makes them a great alternative to shorter length beds. California king is a special size that not all manufacturers make but surprisingly more of these beds are becoming available.
In this article we've taken a look at some alternative sizes of beds that are available for taller teenagers and adults who have had trouble finding beds that fit and are comfortable for normal sleeping. For teenagers or young adults Twin XL and Full XL beds are available which will offer better bed length than their standard counterparts but won't add additional width which can be in short supply in some dorms and smaller bedrooms. California King is considered an extra long size for adults and measures just over 7' long. If you have family or friends who are tall and just can't find a standard size bed that fits, try suggesting the extra long beds mentioned in this article and I'm sure you'll be assisting them in finding that good nights sleep.

Hamster sleeping problems?
Hello, i just recently got a new hamster, i know that hamsters are nocturnal, but im almost always up all night, and he seems like out of 24 hours of the day 23 hours are sleeping, i mean i play with him for 3 hours a day, maybe even more, we like to watch tv and play games, but strait away as soon as i put him back in his s.a.m. palace, he goes right to sleep, i know he has enogh stuff to play with, 2 TP tubes, a snack bar, chewing blocks, a running wheel, and a modular peek house, he is a dwarf russian, do i need to get another friend to play with him or is this normal for new hamsters?
If it is a Syrian hamster that you have, DO NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT, get another hamster as a cage mate. Syrian hamsters are solitary animals and they prefer it that way. Two males will fight until each is seriously wounded, or at least one is dead. Of course, if you get a female Syrian hamster, they might get along, but then you'll end up with unwanted babies.

If your hamster is one of the dwarf hamsters you might be able to introduce another male hamster to him as Dwarfs live in small colonies.

Your hamster sounds like a perfectly normal little critter if he is eating, peeing, pooping, and otherwise acting normal. Hamsters are sleepy guys.
