How do you sleep?

What's everyone's little habits when sleeping? You know.. what conditions do you need, or don't need, what do you wear, what position do you sleep in.. how do you dream, if you do (well, you do.. but do you remember your dreams?) etc.

Me, I need to be at the point where my eyes are closing.. if that's not happening, I know I won't be able to sleep. I gotta have been yawning quite a lot, too.. I usually need to read a bit, even a couple pages, or fall asleep to a movie, or documentary.. then I usually wake-up and turn it off. I need to be in complete darkness.. I use an eye-mask, but often don't wake-up with it, so I remove it while sleeping.. I need to be really, really comfortable.. I can't sleep sitting up, unless I'm on a plane, but usually I take pills to sleep or I am so tired because I've been traveling for hours.. it just happens.. also the noise kinda puts me to sleep.. I need the room to be cool, and need heavy covers.. or a big comforter, and like 3 or 4 pillows, and I'm very picky about their softness. I'd rather sleep with windows closed, and the A.C on, with a comforter, than windows open (or not, if it's winter) and just a sheet.. I just don't feel comfortable when I don't have a comforter. The room has to be really clean and fresh. At one point of my life, I needing a ticking clock. I have an ocd too that no doors can be open, no drawers.. makes me nervous.

I sleep in a featal position most of the time. I never sleep on my stomach, and sometimes, if I'm reeeeaaaally comfortarble I will sleep on my back. I don't snore.. but I have sleep apnea.. and I'm so quiet breathing sometimes people gave told me they were afraid I was dead.

I usually sleep naked or with shorts cause my legs need to be bare, and especially my feet, and a shirt.. no undies, that's gross.

My hair has to be untied. I also seem to sleep better when my hair is wet. And after a bath. I don't like getting in my sheets if I'm not perfectly clean. My pillows usually smell like shampoo

I also sleep better with my boyfriend, and I love waking-up with him and cuddle and have sex in the morning.. spooning..

Haha.. wow what a complicated sleeper I am! What about you?

 

I sleep on my stomach.

My dreams are sometimes slightly weird, but often quite bizarre.

I usually read before bed, and if I can't sleep I'll take some benedryl, or maybe have a shot or a few beers.

In the summer I usually sleep naked or with just a pair of boxer shorts. In the winter I will usually sleep wearing a pair of plaid pajama bottoms and maybe a t-shirt.

 

It entirely depends if I’m alone or not

But If I’m alone; I wear a pair of shorts, and I fall asleep to either music (soft rock) or talk radio (preferably coast to coast am, or sports talk radio host J. T. The Brick) and the only illumination is from my LED radio.


Hotwater

 

I prefer windows to be closed. And I need complete silence and darkness.
NO AC. I'm usually covered up to my nose, BUT my feet are never covered.
And...Thats it.
I sleep like a baby.
Oh and I need a strict sleep schedule cause if I go to bed at different time every night, I feel all weird and tired.
So now I usually go to bed at around 1 am and get up at 7, 7:30.

 

I'm a stomach sleeper too, but I also like the foetal position. I like to smoke a little pot and watch TV in bed before I drop off, and sometimes I have Autechre playing in the background all night. Sometimes, when I wake up in the night and can't get back to sleep, I throw one off quickly and that usually helps.

 

with my eyes closed

 

I should also say that I always sleep with the fan on, even in the winter. It's not because I am hot, but because the sound of the fan helps me go to sleep faster and it drowns out any other noise. In the winter I simply sleep with the fan turned away from me.

 

I get cold alot so i use extra blankets etc
I sleep straight because i want to grow - I stretch before i sleep,
I brush my teeth, wash my face just before
It varies when i go to sleep but doesnt matter, around 8 hours of sleep or more each night is best. and if the pillows too thick or flat, my neck hurts when i wake up.
When i sleep on my back i get rid of the pillow.

When i wake up, i normally hate getting up but once Im up, im no longer tired.

 

The really only thing is that my closet has to be closed...Don't ask cause I won't explain...

I can't sleep naked, something might happen and I don't want to have to deal with something whilist being naked...either tank and undies or t-shirt or a pair of shorts...

as for my sleeping position, whatever is comfortable to me at the time I am laying there...

 

naked, door closed, lights off, usually i have the radio on one of the three good radio stations. It's usually hip hop, jazz, ambient, or psychedelic stuff.
As for position, it's different all the time. I try to sleep on my back, but unless I fall asleep the moment I lay down, I usually dont' stay like that for long. I toss from my back, to my side, to the other side, to my stomach.
A lot of the time i'll fall asleep with my head on my arms and wake up with one or both of my arms completely numb. I few times recently they were so dead when I woke up that I couldn't move them at all! I had to pick them up with my other hand to reassure myself that they really did still exist. It's kind of scary.

 

I sleep in my room with the door closed I have a small light I keep on. I usually fall asleep with the TV on and I sleep on my side

 

On my right side. I like having something between my legs. Like another leg or a pillow.

I need to be doing something like watching a movie or reading or I'll be up thinking for hours.

Naked in summer. I wear some shorts and socks and an undershirt when it's cold.

I snore. :biggrin:

 

Complete darkness and silence of course.
I keep rolling on the bed until I fall asleep on my stomach, and no matter how hot it is I have to be under some sheet or blanket.
Cant sleep without the AC also. And a good sleep that gives me energy for the rest of the day would be no less than 8 to 9 hours.

 

I like having a shower just before going to bed. The windows must be open, I hate it if it's hot. I normally don't wear any clothes to bed but it's mainly because we often have sex just before falling asleep. Before falling asleep, it's gotta be dark and quiet (though I usually end up wearing ear plugs coz my fiance snores so much, hahah). I curl up when I sleep but I still manage to take most of the space, I never seem to sleep on one side of the bed but I roll around a lot in the middle.

 

I prefer being naked while sleeping. I also seem to sleep better with a pillow between my legs...I don't know why, it just helps.

A fan or radio tuned to a non-existent station is a must. I need white noise.

I have to sleep on my side...usually the right side. Left is a good change-up. I simply CAN NOT sleep on my stomach. Sometimes I wake up on my back.

I don't sleep well anywhere but my own bed. Hotels, strange beds or sleeping bags are a guarantee that I'm not going to sleep much.

 

I put a pillow over my head. No, not over my mouth, but if there isn't something covering my eyes I can't sleep.

I used to sleep on my stomach but that butchered my complexion so now I'm on my back.

 

I forgot to talk about my dreams! I always remember them.. and I love analyzing them too. My dreams are always very vivid, and quite often lucid!

Something else I fogot to mention is that I always wake-up with a pain in my jaw and head, cause I grind my teeth while I sleep.. it's terrible..

 

I grind my teeth too.

And dream about the displacement of tectonic plates.

 

Hahaha. I just did a sleep quiz, and I got this:

"Critics may write off Classic Spoons as too "vanilla," but people who dismiss this pose as flavorless clearly have never been properly spooned. Correct placement may be easy to achieve, but a true Classic Spoons is more than two bodies curled back-to-front. It's a rare couple indeed who can create the almost tangible bubble of comfort, safety, and emotional agreement that surrounds this pose. Some theorize that it requires thighs of similar lengths, others claim it takes two outsized hearts to generate even a passable Spoons. But almost everyone agrees that a bona fide Classic Spoons is a clear sign of a pair that is well balanced and complementarily scented. Comfort Zone Classic Spoons is a Sun Sleeper pose. Other Sun poses to explore include The Seatbelt and The Heimlich. Health Note Your unusually low blood pressure may prevent you from giving blood or joining some small armies.
