A bedtime
story

nce upon a time, there was a young boy
with endless energy, who had trouble
falling asleep at night.
He spent the first few years of his life in the Midwest,
but his parents soon uprooted the family to New
Zealand to care for aging grandparents. Without many
friends, he found himself often running alone in the
wilderness, amongst the tranquil yet vibrant landscape.
In this new and unfamiliar land, he soon discovered
that New Zealand actually had more sheep than people.
He would often walk miles without seeing anyone, but
couldn’t walk 100 feet without seeing sheep. He would
run around the sheep, roll under them, jump over
them and spend hours frolicking amongst the friendly
creatures. It became his favorite pastime. The sheep
seemed to enjoy his companionship just as much, as
their human counterpart could pivot quickly and run
fast, proving a worthy playmate in the rolling hills. One
sheep, in particular, would always playfully chase the
boy halfway home, eventually turning around to rejoin
the herd. He called him Swifty.

When the young boy returned home after a day of play,
he would tell his parents and grandparents about his
adventures with great enthusiasm. The boy jumped
o the walls with exuberance, acting out his favorite
moments of the escapades. The zeal with which he re-
lived these moments made it seem like he loved telling
about the adventures as much as he loved living them.
As the rest of the household fell asleep, he would lay in
bed, staring at the ceiling, his mind racing about what
fun he’d have tomorrow. After weeks of restless nights,
he realized that if he counted all of his sheep friends,
who he identified by the hue and thickness of their
respective fleeces, he could fall asleep more easily. This
practice became his comforting method of dozing o
each evening, counting the sheep, always starting
with Swifty.
He would play all day and count sheep to sleep at night.
One day, as the boy got ready to head home, Swifty was
nowhere to be seen. The boy sprinted from the herd,
and no sheep followed. This happened several days in
a row, and Swifty’s absence started to concern the boy.
14

He started to have trouble falling asleep. Weeks went
by, then months. Maybe he wandered to another herd.
Perhaps he fell o a cli. Maybe Swifty found a better
life elsewhere. Swifty was gone.
The boy would lay in bed at night, staring restlessly
at the ceiling. Noticing that he was distraught, the
boy’s mother sat on the edge of the bed one night and
asked why he could no longer fall asleep. He missed
Swifty. Counting sheep no longer comforted him and
didn’t calm him. His mother empathetically rubbed
her hand through his hair, petting him repeatedly with
maternal care. “OkiOki, okioki.” She repeated this as
he dozed o to sleep. OkiOki, the Maori word for rest,
tranquility, and relaxation soothed the young boy. This
ritual continued for years. And the OkiOki tradition
continued beyond the young boy, with his children, and
his children’s children.
For generations now, well rested people
have depended on the lore of OkiOki.

Sleep Tips
We hate to brag (not
really), but an OkiOki
mattress feels like
you’re sleeping on a
cloud. Here are some
helpful, to-the-point,
tips that will take
you all the way to
REM heaven.
17

1. Take a personal day.
A relaxing day by yourself can be a nice reboot.
Post up on your OkiOki for added relaxation. You’re
welcome.
2. Soak up the sun.
Exposure to sunlight sends a signal to our bodies,
such that, by nighttime, you’ll know it’s time to
recharge.
3. Cut out that afternoon coee.
You heard us.
4. Try out a weighted blanket.
It can relax your nervous system and actively balance
the chemicals in your body that control both your
mood and sleep.
18

5. Put on your coziest socks.
Studies have found a strong correlation between
warm feet and ‘rapid sleep onset.’
6. Make your partner get their own blanket.
Unless, perhaps, you’re the blanket hog. Many
couples have reported better sleep from simply
using separate blankets in the same bed.
7. Just draw.
Sometimes journaling, drawing, or doodling
can be beneficial.
