I'm a dangerous sleeper. I might go to bed laying on my back, pillowed pinned underneath me, but I'll wake up and that pillow is on the other side of the room.

Friends have watched me sleep and they say I kick, so I don't know maybe in my unconscious I'm studying Jeet Kune Do.

Normally cats are pretty good at not getting crushed - it's not like they're inanimate objects. I haven't slept with one, but once I used my grandparents' cat as a reading-pillow without realizing that he's a cat (I didn't look first). He didn't even care for several minutes, and then started purring, scaring the shit out of me.

I typically sleep on my side, but really, I can fall asleep in almost any position.

Well... I prefer to sleep facing a wall, or whatever side shows the least light. I usually sleep with my arms tucked in near my face. I also usually use two pillows, and sometimes I stick my hands in between the two as I fall asleep. Almost always naked, but lately I've been wearing my bra to bd.

I have a weak bladder, so I get up 2-3 times in the middle of the night to pee, and I have recurring nightmares that bother me once or twice a month. But usually, I sleep fairly well.

I woke up on a floor today.

Its the suffocation that concerns me more! She buries herself under the covers. I would sleep more stretched up but I actually sleep in a fetal position to prevent her from crawling further down the covers.

generally, i'll stay awake until my eyes burn. once i lay down, i curl up on my side, with both knees slightly bent, and my arms close to my body. sometimes, with one under my head. i don't usually like to use pillows, but i do love to have either bodies or pillows on either side of me.

i get lonely when i sleep.

I start out in fetal position, most of the time, and then I progress to rolling/flopping around all over the place if I can't fall asleep quickly. I seem to so well sleeping on my tummy, but sleeping on my back really hurts. I absolutely need a stuffed animal or something to hug, and I think I sleep best in my underwear. I always end up stripping in the middle of the night anyway.

Once I woke up with my head inside the bottom part of my night stand. It was incredibly strange.

Bella, that's very strange indeed, how did your head ever manage to get there.

You know, I have absolutely no clue! But is was scary, until I figured out where I was.

I.....keep dreaming I have a beard.
Which would be ok.
If I were a bloke.

Cats make excellent little balls of warmth to curl around when its cold and you're trying to sleep. And its -10 F here. Brrr. This cold snap can end any time.

eep~!

Yeah, that was kind of my reaction nevermind I've been having 'em for years.
Fun fact: I am such a deep sleeper, I once slept through a small earthquake. In the bottom-floor bedroom. XD
I have still to determine why the hell there was an earthquake in North Yorkshire.

I don't have a customary way to sleep unless I'm in bed with someone.
