I hope you had great birthday and the celebratory preceding weekend!
i just read through your sleeping with a beard post, and even though I only have 1/2 the beard you do, I am starting to relate to several of those issues. Like having to direct or sweep my beard under as I lay down on the pillow. the weird feeling of having it smashed against your face. My main issue tends to be my moustache though, as it turns into velcro overnight and attaches itself to the beard below. I wake up with a Bane mask on and have to detangle it and comb it out to be able to find my mouth. I do have to say that bed beard is much worse look than bead hair ever used to be.
