Your personality is connected to the way you sleep, although it’s hard to tell whether the personality causes the sleep or the sleep causes the personality.

Better Sleep in the News:
Spotify is adding a sleep timer for music. Android users will be able to set the app to play music for a specific duration of time or until the end of a track when they go to bed. The feature isn’t yet available on iOS, but iPhone users can still use the built-in timer feature on the Clock app to stop playing music at a specified time.
You can sleep in a bubble under the stars at bubble hotels around the world. In Finland’s Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort, you can watch the northern lights play across the sky from a private igloo with a glass dome. Jordan’s Sun City camp offers 20 “martian domes” that allow you to experience the arid Wadi Rum desert valley and a sky full of stars inside an air-conditioned tent.
