Mattman has a theory about why people say no so often: You are exhausted. Your brain is so depleted. He offers advice on how you can change that.

What’s the top profit driver for Walmart? It’s not bicycles or big-screen TVs. It’s [gulp] mattresses and furniture.

Dos Marcos offer their opinion on what’s going to happen to the mattress industry in 2021 and beyond. Don't miss this annual tradition!

I’m not the only one. There were, and are, several mattress superheroes out there. Most of them before my time.

You may be surprised to find out how many hours I have spent scouring the tenth page of google looking for these former sleep superheroes. What I found is they’re all following Superman’s lead. The power to leap a tall building in a single bound! Personally, I’m not a huge fan of Superman. He was born great. He is already strong and fast. Those powers came to him by default.

Bruce Wayne, on the other hand, had to achieve greatness! Granted he was born into wealth, but the mechanical ingenuity and martial arts skills are not a result of being born with a silver spoon in his mouth. We do not all come preprogrammed to somersault while kicking a bad guy while simultaneously firing a bat hook to swing up a ledge while throwing a Batarang to catch another bad guy. He had to train hard for years to learn those skills.

As mattress RSAs, it is critical that we teach everybody about the fundamentals of sleep. You only get one shot a decade, if you’re lucky! They may buy a bed online or from a different store near you.

But if they came to you…

In my origin story, I shared a tidbit about running a 5k for years with the same results, and how putting on a mattress suit forced me to change my strategy. When a customer buys a bed from you, that new mattress will have a similar effect on their very first nighttime routine. First impressions with a new product that we say takes weeks to break in and may not be comfortable right away. You wonder how anybody can have a great night’s sleep on dusk one.

When you take control of your sleep and awaken your superpowers, you will have gone through a transformation.  You will become more powerful!  Look at whatever is on your to-do list tomorrow and ask yourself, “Is this harder or easier with a good night’s sleep?”  Or my favorite side of that coin asks, “How much easier is this to-do list with my superpowers on?”

Have you ever planned out how much sleep you are going to get?  This is a super-easy way to test your superpowers.  It’s so easy it sounds dumb.

It all started at dawn on Thanksgiving day 2018. Yep. Dawn! Not 3 p.m. on a Friday or 10 a.m. on a Monday. I’m a sleep superhero for crying out loud. Dawn!

The Dream Team sponsors and runs in the annual Mooresville Christian Mission Turkey Trot every year. When the pistol fired to start the 2018 race, a giant crowd of 1,800 people charged through downtown Mooresville, NC!  It was awesome!
