For no special reason, other than I'm still awake,
I present 6 weird sleep habits of mine:
1. I must always have covers, even if it is hotter n' hell. Covers obviously keep you safe. I'm still here, aren't I? If I am too warm, I will stick one leg out, but, the rest of me shall be under the covers.
2. I hate flannel sheets. The thought of sleeping on flannel sheets in flannel pajamas makes me cringe. It would cause bedlock, a flannel-based covalent bonding of sorts, and, I can't stand that.
3. I can't have my feet constricted, I usually can't sleep in socks. I am easily susceptible to Claustrophobia of the Feet.
4. Yet, the covers must be properly tucked in at the foot of the bed. It makes me Cuh-Ray-Zeee if the covers come loose when you are trying to pull them up.
5. I've said it before, but, I cannot stand acrylic blankets. They make my teeth hurt.
6. I have to use a sheet as the first layer of covers. OK, not so unusual, but, you see, you do too, as long as I'm around.
If you are a guest here, I require you to use a sheet. After that, you may use as many cotton blankets as you wish. If you try to sleep on top of a bed with just a blanket, I can feel it, and, it keeps me awake.
Wait, where are you going? Oh, come on, you already knew I was unusual.

Dracula and other vampires also can't bite you in your sleep if you are under the covers (and with them up to your neck)!!! I hear you totally on the covers thing.
My boyfriend has to have the blankets covered around him and tucked all around him. And I don't mean 1 or 2... he has a sheet and then 3 blankets, and then his comforter. Without all that? He can't sleep. And let me tell you! That's a PIA when it's cold and he's hogging all the blankets.
I have to have the sheet on me at all times, regardless, as well. If I get hot? The feet come out of the sides, hehe.
Great to know I'm not the only freak around here ;)
LOL... I can so relate. Sleeping with socks? Yuck... but my daughter has done that since she was tiny.
Hey... Happy New Year, g'friend...
I nodded to all six points, so no, not so freakish...unless, I am also........hum. They are no not so freakish. I can add number seven. My shoulders can not be on the pillow. NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT. The pillow has to be on my neck, but if my shoulders are on it I just cannot deal.
Happy New Year To You.
Um, I have a minimum thread count requirement for my sheets of 300 so I would never criticize
hahahahahahaha I hear ya!! I can't sleep with my feet out from the covers cause I know that the "under the bed monsters" will touch my toes!! heeheehee
dawn
All of them could have been wrote by me. :)
But my husband can't stand to have the sheet tucked in by his feet, so usually the sheet migrates up from his side, curls around my neck and chokes me in my sleep.
I can relate to all of 'em. Not much on the tucking in thing, but I married a "tucker", and it's a small price to pay for marital bliss. She's also a flannel sheet person. But in the summertime at least, she'll switch to good ole cotton.
I only cover my feet in bed when requested to do so because my feet can become like ice cubes. But I hate it, and take them off as soon as the feet have warmed up.
I'll add one more: I can't sleep in a totally quiet room. I have one of those "nature noise" alarm clocks that mimics a gentle, falling rain. I'm lost without it.
I see nothing wrong with that!
I could have written 1, 2, 4 & 6 myself so you aren't alone! Especially 4. I can just tell when the sheet is starting to come loose at the corner and if its not laying right I have to get up & fix it or I can't fall asleep... it will drive me crazy if I don't
I must have the covers pulled up to my chin. I cannot have shoulders or neck exposed or it keeps me awake. Odd? I hope not!
I totally agree about having to have blankets, but no socks?!?! What kind of crazy is that!
I have a website I would love to share with everyone...www.pandora.com. It's Pandora Internet Radio and you type in an artist or a song and they tailor an Internet radio station based on you preferences that you can change whenever you want. It's a very cool thing.
Um, about number 6...really? That is weird. In fact, I think I'll just go ahead and ask right now...would you like to come spend the night at my house? I'd like to test this superhuman sheet spotting ability you claim you have.
I love flannel sheets (but not flannel jammies, so maybe that's part of it) and often sleep in socks in the winter. Other than that, I'm with you, sister! I am forever on my daughter's case about letting her top sheet get pushed to the foot of the bed.
Dude. Yes. To every single thing on that list.
You're freaking me out.
We're twins separated at birth. Love, sis
I have to have covers on me at all times too and my feet can't be covered either, other then that, im good.
He he, you said covalent bonding.
I'm with you on all but the acrylic blanket one and only in that I don't have a major aversion to them as you do. They are definitely not my first choice.
Why would anyone want to sleep with you . . .?
You must be totally hot, because otherwise . . .
Those are weird? All of those makes perfect and total sense to me, except that I don't mind flannel sheets, but I wouldn't mix them with flannel pjs.
Can't stand for my feet to get hot, so no socks, and frequently, the feet are sticking out of the covers. Also, covers up to the neck and tucked all around my shoulders and neck. I don't like to feel cool air on my neck. Weird? I don't think so.
girlfriend - you would not do so well at my hut! we have minimal sheets because NONE of my kids EVER use them. Nope - just a comforter for them, thank you. We wish we could buy sheets by the fitted sheet only because that flat sheet goes to pure T waste! We should send them to you! And they won't use regular blankets either - just conmforters. So weird - I didn't raise these chilluns!
I really always thought I was odd because I had so many sleep/bed issues, but I could have written all of these but the acrylic blanket one. I can't have wool anything or I itch when I sleep.
thanks for making me feel part of the "crowd" when it comes to sleep issues.
