How do you sleep?

[ShyQuietGal]

I am a bad insomniac. But when I do sleep I sleep on my side, with one leg bent out from under the covers. And 2 pillows propped under my head.

 

[LacyLady]

I sleep on my stomach....with my hands under my pillow....also sleep nude....i can't stand to wear clothes to bed....

 

[teddybear4play]

On your side? On your back? On your stomach?

Stomach, usually with legs akimbo. I own the whole bed.

Do you have to have music on? The TV?

Yes. Silence is deafening to me.

Do you use a lot of pillows? A body pillow? A special stuffed animal?

I need at least two pillows.

Do you like to be held to fall asleep or do you need your space?

I don't know. Been so long since I've slept next to somebody. I'm not sure how I can be held in the position I sleep in.

Since it seems that a lot of us here on Lit don't sleep much, I want to know what you do when you do manage to sleep!

Go into a coma. At least that's what most observers tell me.

I sleep with my eyes closed.


Oh, and on my right side with a body pillow and lots and lots of blankets.

There's even a nasty rumor that I snore, but I don't believe it.

Yeah, there's a rumor that's going around my bedroom that I snore! Actualy, from what I've heard from other people I just breathe loudly. I hate it when he snores. He saws logs when he sleeps! That contributes to my insomnia, since I need silence to fall asleep.

Sleep...oh how i LOVE to sleep...as an college student does...

I tend to be able to fall asleep in the middle of the day, due to my napping...i used to stay up real late, now, not so much, but i still love mid day naps, and going to bed at 2 in the morning.

I sleep on either side, but i always fall asleep with my back to the wall...it goes back to when i was younger, and the wall was always at my back as i was sleeping...so now it always has to be at my back. just one feather pillow, and its the same pillow i've been sleeping on my whole life. Need it to be dark...i LOVE the darkness when i sleep...and quiet...i can deal with car noise and stuff, but no music or tv or anything. I'm a spazz

 

[Shadowann2]

Ewww...please tell me you wash it regularly! That must be one beat up pillow!

 

[Eagle70]

Ewww...please tell me you wash it regularly! That must be one beat up pillow!

Hehehe, yes, i wash it all the time. and its great...its like the pillow knows the contoures of my head and everything...and my grandmother makes the pillow cases for me...the same type that i've been sleeping on since i was little. like i said, i'm a total spazz about stuff like that

How do I sleep? Badly. Some nights it has taken me upwards of two hours to fall asleep.

I sleep cuddled with my husband, spooning. We fall asleep that way. Then about an hour later we turn to the other side, me spooning him. Sleep some more. After that.....who knows!!

We each have two pillows but I end up rooting one over the side and sleep only on one. Flannel sheets in the winter with one blanket or Egyptian cotton sheets in the spring/summer and another sheet if it gets chilly.

I used to sleep on my stomach and I still love to, but can't do it anymore. My lowerback aches all morning and part of the afternoon. My chiropractor told me it's from sleeping on my stomach (that and we had a waterbed for years!!) no support for the spine. So I try to stay on my sides or back. God it's hard to do.

 

[Shadowann2]

Yeah I have a lot of back problems from sleeping on my stomach. I had to sleep on my side during my pregnancies and I never seemed to get a good nights sleep. I couldn't give it up permanently if I had too! When I first climb into bed I have 2 pillows and I lay on my side until I'm settled down enough to sleep, then I toss one on the floor and lay on my stomach. I have a whole going-to-bed ritual!

 

[SkyBluAngelEyes]

On my left side. The TV is usually on but I hardly ever watch it. I just need noise.

I wake up on the other side of the bed on my right side. I have four pillows on my bed, I sleep with three under me. I love pillows.

 

[J.B.]

I sleep on my side, hugging a pillow, and most importantly naked. I must have my comfort.

[Shadowann2]

I sleep naked except when I'm mad at him. He refuses to sleep on the couch so I just sleep in pjams to make my point!

[J.B.]

yeah I do that too

 

[DarkAngel]

OH MY GOD...


Must.. take.. control... of.. my.. body..

 

[J.B.]

Breathe

 

[Ham Murabi]

White noise in the background (from a fan) is better than quiet, because it's steady and blocks out other sound.
If I'm really unlucky the cat will crawl into bed and I'll wake up sore cause I can't move around. Which brings up an interesting question: If you're asleep, how do you know not to roll where the cat is?

 

[Cibo]

I almost always sleep either on my right or left side. Sometimes on my stomach. If on my right side, I have one low not fluffy pillow and put my right arm under it and my left arm above the covers.
If on my left side, I have a big fluffy pillow on that side and put my left arm under that pillow and put my right hand either on my hip or above the covers as well.

And I'm a very heavy sleeper, I've had my gramma hit me a few times in my sleep and I didn't wake up, heh.

The only time I sleep on my stomach is when I’m ridiculously horny and no amount of touching can help.
