" Stephen Drucker: You live in your bed more than anyone I know. Blair Sabol: My bed is my magic carpet. I want to be born every morning in it. Orange. Pink. Crimson. I like your color personality. Actually, I came from beige. When I turned 58, I decided I needed color. These colors gave me a second chance in life. Wearing them, sleeping in them \u2014 it was like a total blood transfusion. You come alive in them. I&amp;#039;ll tell you, it&amp;#039;s hard to be sick or depressed in this bed. You feel bad about being depressed. So who did the bed?  Ann Lawrence, an amazing textile dealer. I went to her studio in Santa Fe and she started tossing Indian and Afghani fabrics on a blank bed. She would say, &amp;quot;Lie on it, hold it up to your face.&amp;quot; She pulled out a mirror and asked how I looked. She was dressing me. I went in at 1 and came out at 6. It was like an acid trip. I also owe my friend Ali MacGraw, who gave the whole thing a fine tuning. I can&amp;#039;t help notice, you look a lot like your bed. After I got the bedding, it changed my wardrobe. Thank you, J. Crew. Dare I ask, what do you sleep in? A light cashmere crewneck in mandarin orange. More J. Crew. I&amp;#039;ve never seen a headboard like that. I designed it to hold all my tchotchkes from the Tesuque flea market in Santa Fe. It&amp;#039;s yellow pine. We all design our beds in my family. My mother carved &amp;quot;Come grow old with me&amp;quot; into her headboard. Her footboard says, &amp;quot;The best is yet to come.&amp;quot; What&amp;#039;s your mattress? It&amp;#039;s from the Peninsula Hotel. The sheets? I buy them for the colors. I like a crisp, tough sheet. And the pillows? Hypoallergenic fill. How much sleep do you get at night? I go to bed at 10 and get up at 4. And when you were 25? I went to bed at 1 and got up at 8. Do you have mostly good dreams or bad ones? Totally good. Do you need a blacked-out room to sleep? My windows are bare. The moonlight disturbs me, so I sleep with a mask. With the coyotes looking at me. What&amp;#039;s the first thing in your morning routine? Yoga. I&amp;#039;m on the floor pretty quickly straightening out my back. Is that a yoga position you&amp;#039;re in here? Lotus. Do you use a room fragrance?  I have a Diptyque Freesia candle on my left because it&amp;#039;s feminine, and a Diptyque Myrrhe on my right because it&amp;#039;s masculine. I also spray the sheets once a week with Diptyque L&amp;#039;Autre. It&amp;#039;s spicy. It fits the look of the bed. What&amp;#039;s allowed in bed beyond sleeping? No eating. Reading, yes. The phone, of course. Major. Landline only. I watch TV in bed but I&amp;#039;m not happy about it. It kills the mood. Love your hair. Do you wake up looking like that? If you can&amp;#039;t sleep in your hair, you should change it. Ann Lawrence can be contacted at 505-982-1755. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
