My eight-year-old kept telling me her bed felt “too tight.” At 2:00 a.m., the camera finally showed me why.

She didn’t seem convinced.

That night she woke close to midnight and walked quietly into my room.

“My bed is tight again.”

I went in to inspect it. The mattress, the frame, the sheets—everything appeared completely ordinary.

When I told my husband Eric, he laughed.

“She just doesn’t want to sleep alone.”

But Mia continued insisting.

Every night.

“It feels tight.”

After a week I decided to replace the mattress entirely, thinking perhaps the springs inside were damaged.
