Do you have any sleeping quirks?

I am all about sleeping quirks. Just ask my frustrated husband!

I toss and turn a lot, and it can take me awhile to get properly comfy. And I kind of hate sleeping with people who are really still in their sleeping, because then I feel doubly worse about my constant fidgeting. Seriously, I’ve slept on the couch quite a bit when I’m first with a new s/o so that we can both get some freaking sleep.

I have difficulty falling asleep. I toss and turn.

@Aethelflaed I’m a big tosser and turner too and have always felt sorry for the men who sleep with me, the actual sleeping part, I mean and are “still sleepers”. It must be very frustrating for them and it’s kind of embarrassing for me. I always thing they’re thinking “What the hell is wrong with this woman.”

Nocturnal boners.

I sleep with an eye mask (a t-shirt of my husband’s) to block out the light.

@janbb You’re not going to provide any details, or is the list just too long?

I always sleep on my side, with my lower hand between the pillow and my head.

I’m with the restless ones, I flop around like a fish on a dock.

I curl up and everything has to be covered by a blanket except for my face. I used to think that (this is embarrassing) vampires could only drink your blood if your pulse points were exposed. (Not sure where I got that idea.)

Also, I whistle in my sleep.

I don’t want to talk about it; I take seriously the adage “let sleeping quirks lie.”

I know that there’s nothing hiding under the bed, but I also know that nothing will get me if I keep my legs under the blankets… XD

I also put a pillow over the side of my face, to block out noises. And also because it’s all soft. Then I put the comforter over the pillow and my head. Since there’s lots of pillows, it sorta makes like a mini tent for my head to be in, and the space is large enough that I can sleep covered up like this but still breathe.
Sucks in Summer though, because I can’t always sleep this way, if it’s too hot. It’s sure awesome in Winter though, and my bed is warm enough that I never turn on the heat in my bedroom. Only thing about that is, when I have to get out of bed lol.

@Symbeline I’m glad to know someone else sleeps with a pillow over their head. I have to. And I know there’s nothing and no one under the bed also, but better safe than sorry.

I know there’s nothing under my bed because Zuppy would want to play with it, if there was. I feel secure.

My girlfriend laughs about my bed/sleeping habbits…..
First, I will stand on my mattress, just below my pillow, and take the sheet in my hands and ‘throw’it in the air and let it land on my bed, perfectly straight.
Then I turn around and pick up my pillow and shake it full of air so it is like a balloon.
Next I will sit, slide down on my back and pull the sheet onto my chin, and lay my head on the thick side of the pillow.
Then I turn to kiss my girlfriend.
Then I shake the pillow again (I grab it on the thick side and shake, as to make the thin side thick) because the fabric where my head lies on should always be cool.
Then I stay for ten minutes about on my back, after I will turn to my left (looking at my girl), after that to my right.
On that right side I fall asleep.
If we are to make love…, my whole system is disturbed :-(
:-)

I can’t sleep without having two pillows, one for my head and one to hug. I also can’t sleep without a running fan for the noise.

I twitch very badly sometimes. My husband has woken me up to tell me I’m leaving claw marks in his arm. That’s how bad I twitch!

@rebbel lol. You perform that same ritual every time? Every night? Your girlfriend must love you very much, or find you extremely amusing, one or the other. :-)

@lillycoyote For a reason she does both!
And yes, I do it every night.

@lillycoyote I toss and turn, I snore, I get hot and take my pj’s off, the blankets go off and on and I get up a few times to go to the bathroom. Need more?

@janbb No, that’s fine. Thanks. :-)

@lillycoyote You want to do a sleepover? I know, you’re just too shy to say so.

I talk in my sleep and steal covers.

@janbb A sleepover between the two of us would be pretty hilarious, I think. How many bathrooms do you have and do you and your husband battle over the over the thermostat? How hot is it, during the night, in your house? How many of my comings and goings during the night would it take before one of you said: “What the fricking hell could she be doing with all that toing and froing?”

@lillycoyote Between the two of us, it certainly would be an activity filled night! (And that’s even without my husband’s contributions.)

I usually like to have a pillow between my legs.

I start out the night with 8 pillows. I usually end up in the morning with 5.

My bedding has to be 100% cotton, to start with. I also have to have at least three layers of pillows, preferably very fluffy ones. ;) I also sleep with a heating pad on my bak because my mattress is at least 12 years old and hard as a rock, which gives me back pains. (Well, that and my enormous boobs) I also have to have a fan on high all night because I feel like I can’t breathe without it on. AND on top of all that, I have a very specific position in which I like to situate myself…I’m a very picky sleeper, if you can’t tell.

Sometimes I will suddenly flinch, enough to wake myself up, to a heaping dose of breakthrough pain. Toss and turn and try to get back but almost always I give up in frustration and just get up and dose up, and settle into the chair and look at penis pump infomercials or some other useless products.

I sleep golf…and have a better handicap too. :(

(In no particular order)
The pillow must be flat… I like the duvet pulled up over my face, especially my forehead… I like it dark, dark, dark, don’t sleep well when the moon is full… the top sheet and covers must not be tucked in… I love a hot water bottle between my knees, electric blankets are not my thing…

I sleep with 4 pillows… two under my head (with my hand in between them), one between my knees, and one king size down pillow to hug. I like to pull the bottom of the covers up and keep them in between my feet. It must be dark, so I block my alarm clock’s glow with my AC remote and I often sleep with a folded bandana over my eyes. My hair has to be completely out of my way and off my neck. I switch sides frequently, and every time I do, I turn my top ‘head’ pillow to the cool side. I snore really loudly, apparently, talk and laugh in my sleep.

Oh! I guess my biggest quirk of all is that I don’t sleep at night. I’m the vampire under your bed.

I have two pillows under my head, another propped up against the wall so I can lean against the wall to lean against, another pillow beside me where the wall isn’t to loll onto, and one more that I’m either lying on, is paired with the wall-pillow, another head-pillow or just not used at all, for a total of five pillows. I need to be against the wall, leaning against it like it’s a shelter. Also, I moan in my sleep, apparently.

And I have a ring of salt around my bed, and garlic, too. Just in case.

I sleep alone but always stay in ‘my half’ of the double bed.

As soon as my bonce hits the pillow i’m out. Apparently, I have the bruises to prove it I grind my teeth & talk in my sleep. The wife’s elbow is overworked during the night. When I wake up the bed sheets resemble a tee-pee, morning wood has risen again.

If not sharing a bed with a gal, the pillow must be long enough and big enough for me to both keep my head on it and spoon it. Or give me two pillows. Or I start spooning the blanket…

@everyone. Thank you all so much for answering. This has been very enlightening regarding my fellow, and very beloved jellies, to say the least. I don’t feel like I have such weird sleeping habits after all. :-)
