Once upon a time, only infants and kids needed a story to go to sleep, and all adults could ever wish for was a bed and some peace and quiet. But if you buy into what retailers are trying to sell these days, you need someone to read to you, too, not to mention a whole shopping cart full of sleep-enhancing stuff fit for a nursery—from special blankets to soothing foods. In short, these companies would have you coddling yourself like a baby. We actually don’t think it’s a bad idea.
