Seems like there are qiuzzes for everything today. What famous movie star would you be? If you were television show, which one would you be? What’s your personality type?

Like we’ve said before, we’re a curious lot at Somnium. Between developing amazingly awesome beds and telling the world about them, we like to ponder seemingly insignificant matters of the English language. Today, we’re taking you on a verbal nerd-journey about sleepisms.
