I just ordered a new mattress.  They're painfully expensive (or the decent ones are, anyway).  Hopefully it proves worth it - my ancient one has been leaving me with a sore lower back (until I get up and get moving) for a couple years now - good for preventing me from lounging in bed, bad for a good night's sleep.  Oh the dilemma.

That's the most important thing.  A good night sleep. Hope your bed is comfortable and you have a good pillow.

Nope, has to be a treadmill - it forces you to keep walking.  As soon as the "rider" slows down / stops pedaling, a stationary bike is just an uncomfortable chair...   (Or you can get one that pedals for you, but that kind of defeats the purpose - may do some good, but not much.)

Or even better, the TV could be powered only if the person is "walking".

Yes, I finally came to the same conclusion - I'm too negatively impacted by poor sleep, so it's worth the investment.  The mattress comes with new pillows (Labor Day "sale", you know).  We'll see how they are before I go shopping for others.

Even better: ditch the TV, put subscription money in a retirement fund and go outside!  Or read a book.  Either one is far better!

Now what if change the recliner for a stationary bicycle.

Well, that won't help my husband -- he's got a bad knee.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I've been there. 🙏

I wish, that were possible for everyone.

Yes.  Would that all good things were possible for everyone and that we knew how to balance them.  Still, we have reason to hope for better things.
