Girlfalldown 0 #26 September 22, 2005 Quote I can't sleep in socks, I don't know why nor do I care to understand why. ...I need at least 2 pillows. Ditto! Even if I'm really cold I'll put socks on and go to bed but I end up tearing them off eventually. Soooo uncomfortable! My honey teases me because I have like 8 pillows on my bed at home. Some are for show, those are the nice ones. The ratty ones are the only ones I can sleep with. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

GTAVercetti 0 #27 September 22, 2005 I just don't sleep very well. Ever. Since I was about 16 I have tossed and turned and woken up about once every few hours every night. I also need to have a TOTALLY empty bladder before I can fall asleep. the only place I sleep well is on a metro car. I need my room to move just like that and I will be fine!Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Girlfalldown 0 #28 September 22, 2005 QuoteNot me. I sleep like a cat. I can just lie down anywhere & nap. Sometimes if I'm driving a long distance & I get tired, I'll pull over at a rest stop, put the seat back all the way, and snooze for about 15 minutes. It works great. I feel sorry for fussy sleepers. I had a GF once who was like that. A drippy faucet or anything would keep her awake. And she couldn't nap in the car like I can. For her to sleep everything had to be JUST SO. it would suck to be that way, IMHO. You're very lucky and it really does suck for me sometimes. I wish I could sleep anywhere. Here's something weird. Every once in a while, if I'm not feeling well and I'm at work, I can lay on the ground and put my calfs/feet up on a chair and fall asleep for a few minutes. That's the only way I can ever cat-nap but I have to be really sick. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Girlfalldown 0 #29 September 22, 2005 Quote Sometimes I have problems sleeping due to my intensely vivid dreams...full color. I have a tendancy to talk in my sleep as well. It happens randomly...and even more when I am stressed out. Oh yeah, I've talked in my sleep. I've had full conversations. It's such an eerie feeling. The dreaming thing is just insane for me. I can have a dream, wake up and go pee, come back to bed and the dream will continue when I go back to sleep. That happened just the other night actually. I think it's dream season or something. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpchikk 0 #30 September 22, 2005 I will talk and have my eyes open. I've done this on several ocassions. I have very vivid dreams and I also have dreams of stuff that hasn't happened. My dreams also help me figure things out that I normally can't figure out on a conscious level or haven't thought about on a conscious level. I also have lucid dreams. I normally wake up in a pretty good mood because I can turn bad dreams (if I am having them) into good ones. However, when I was a child, I would wake up screaming from a dream (actually a nightmare) that I still have to this day. I also have to find the cold spot in the bed and make it warm and I also do the cold spot pillow flip. My pillow (that Spence has had the possession of for a month now) has been missed. I cannot wait to get it back this weekend!! I don't like my knees touching either and will put the comforter and sheet between my legs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #31 September 22, 2005 Planes, Trains, Automobiles... sleep in all those with out any issues at all. Curled in a ball or streched out I'm a sound sleeper. I perfer to have at least a sheet covering me but can do with out in a pinch. Clothes on, clothes off... no difference. Indoor, outdoors... same thing to me. I can take a light wind blowing by if its a really strong one I'm a tad uncomfy. I sleep through lighting storms, power outages, pets walking on me and 2 alarm clocks going off at the same time. Then again a slight noise can cause me to wake up and I'll never go back to sleep sometimes. Take my comfy pillows and I'll shoot you though. They are just the right amount of fluffyness for me. Its taken a long time to get them that way too.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymonkeytdyes 0 #32 September 22, 2005 I sleep tightly snuggled almost every night to my partner, like puzzle pieces that go together in a specific way. I do like having a little white noise, but I have never been able to sleep with a tv or radio, I just want to stay awake and be distracted. I like sleeping on my side with a lovely feather/down pillow. I hate hotel foam pillows and usually bring my own along if there's space. And for the first time in my life I can sleep with a foot out of the covers sometimes because I finally am fairly confident that the boogie man won't grab it. But I still can't bring myself to hang it over the edge of the bed. TOO SCARY!! You say, what's that sound coming out of the hole in the wood? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My boy-toy is my 2nd pillow and I have to stick my leg between his--we rotate this way together all night--it's digustingly cute But, (and warning, this is pretty GROSS) until recently, I had a very small down pillow I'd had since I was 8 years old (I'm 25 now) so it was 17 years old w/ stains all over it (but I frequently washed it to make myself feel less icky about it). I tried to find other pillows to replace it and NOTHING worked--they were all fake feather (b/c since I was 11 I stopped buying feathers, fur, whatever---became semi-vegan, etc) and way too big, since over the years, most of the feathers had escaped and the pillow was REALLY small and fit perfectly under my head not touching my face, but supporting my neck still. I CAN'T sleep if the pillow is too big and touches my cheek (I sleep most often on my side). PETA would kill me, but I had to break down and buy a new 100% down feather extra small pillow (I justified it b/c my previous one lasted 17 years--whatever I have to tell myself). It took a night or two to get used to, b/c it was still bigger than my old one, but I feel a lot less icky now. And I take it with me EVERYWHERE if it's an overnight trip.
