Let Ikea’s livestream lull you to sleep with oddly comforting product names

Let Ikea’s livestream lull you to sleep with oddly comforting product names. Let me be the first to say that falling asleep is a process. Maybe Ikea can help. Insomniacs have tried it all: herbal teas, blue light filters, melatonin pills, cutting back on caffeine. But few things really help an insomniac fall asleep like boredom.
