We've had this before I know, but there's lots of new members now and I'm nosy about stuff like this :)

Are you a left or right hand side of the bed sort of person? Do you 'do' duvets or are sheets and blankets the way to go? Do you cuddle up to your partner (if you have one) or sleep in isolation? Do you prefer to sleep on your side, front, or starfish like across the bed? Do you snore or talk in your sleep? And do you sleep well or take ages to drop off and wake early?

I sleep pretty well usually, although I have got a lot on my mind at the moment and it has been taking me a while to stop my mind racing and fall asleep recently, but that's not the norm. I like to sleep on my right hand side or my back and I can't sleep cuddled up, I have to be in glorious isolation, in my own space and without anyone breathing in my face! (fussy? moi?) I like to be warm and am probably a bit of a duvet hogger, Ohh but I do love my bed :)

How 'bout you?

I am pretty similar voice.. I do not like people in my face when I sleep therefore I always lie facing out of the bed, never towards the centre. I fall asleep on my right and side, cos that keeps me facing outwards, and in the winter I have to roll the duvet all around me to prevent wind tunnels down the middle of the bed. I am a very serious sleeper and get very cross if I am woken early or disturbed in the night (children excepted, but only for a very good reason).

I like to go to sleep lying on my back - I don't like being touched when I'm trying to go to sleep, I like to be left well alone.



I've been having terrible nightmares recently though - don't know what that's all about!

I absolutely CANNOT share a bed with anyone, I HAVE to sleep alone.

I always start off on my side but end up on my back.

When I smoked I used to wake myself up with my own snoring!

I am a very light sleeper and have to wear earplugs all the time, otherwise even the sound of the wind blowing through the trees will keep me awake.

I am suffering from dreadful insomnia at the moment due to stress and feel like poo.

When I don't have insomia I go to sleep about 10.30 and wake up bright and early at 5.45.

Edit:

I can only sleep if cuddling a pillow and with the duvet jammed between my knees to align my hips properly. I also have to have two pillows under my head, and they have to be feather not foam.

I like to use my electric blanket in the winter!

And I have a king size bed to myself... :sleep:

I am snuggled duvet hogger who occasionally stars out.

It will always take me at least an hour to nod off.....I have so many creative thoughts whizzing round that I can't switch off.....I have a notebook by my bed so I can jot them down but instead of being able to forget about it one thought leads to the next.

I am a rare breed of whinner....I whine and whimper in my sleep. I have suffered from that whole (sleep apnia?) stop breathing thing a couple of times in the past when I have been particularly stressed.

Once asleep I have been known to sleep through gales in a tent, helicopters overhead, huge storms.

I have to sleep on my back with my head turned to the right, all night, otherwise I get headaches (due to car wreck damage to my neck) and I have a pillow under the back of my legs. I am a duvet hog, and my duvet has to be a feather one. :) I frustrate the mud out of Mr tiggs as I have to have my foot touching a part of him and he hates being touched, but of course I win. ;) The other foot is curled around the duvet so it is on the outside. I don't snore, (honest) but I do talk in my sleep and wake everyone up with nightmares. Sleep though, hmmmm, what is that? I've been a bit stressed lately also, and wake up between 1 and 2 am and finally get back to sleep between 4 or 5, and then awake again at 6am.

I sleep every way except on my front because it's too painful since I damaged my back. I need loads of space as I like to stretch out and although a cuddle is lovely when falling asleep I soon get far too hot as I take on radiator properties when I sleep. Most nights I have the window open as I like lots of fresh air and even on cold nights, now and again I'll sweat like a horse. Sorry, I mean glow. Horses sweat, men perspire and ladies glow.

I am suffering from dreadful insomnia at the moment due to stress and feel like poo.
Ceri I sympathise, since you got on well with the Paul McKenna thing for diet I can recommend his tape/CD called 'Sleep like a log' I've found it really useful in the past. Being a hypnotherapist myself I make loads of tapes for other people but I couldn't ever relax to one of my own! so I used his instead, it's good.

100% Starfish... thats me!! :w00t: :p

My husbands going to love that term!! So accurate! Every night we have a laugh about the way I sleep... I have long legs and one of them is always over my husband. Sometimes I just lie on top of him and cuddle him all round cause I love it (not in a sexual way, just cause its cosy).

During the night he's always pushing me over onto my side of the bed. The only time I keep to myself is when Im cross with him, and then we usually make up by the time we drift off.

I love nothing more than 95 degree freshly washed bedlinen mmmmmmm The smell, the knowlege that there are no microscopic bed lice things or dust mites...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Clairewebb/bedlice.jpg I wash them every week and love it! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Clairewebb/dust_mite_king.jpg

PS: I woke up last night to my husband shouting at our son saying "Go wash your hands right now, and don't wipe it on the towel!!" He was talking in his sleep hilarious!

Thanks VOR I will have to try that! I have got every form of insomnia at the moment - I take ages to go to sleep, then I wake up in the middle of the night, then I wake up early! :sad: It's horrible because I really can't function properly, I am getting tearful about everything, I'm all spotty and have greasy skin...I feel ruddy dreadful!

Aww :hug: for you Ceridwen. It's horrible to feel that way. I hope things start to improve for you soon. :)

I sleep on my left hand side, facing outwards, left arm between the bottom and top pillows, right hand holding the duvet round me, kness bent in semi-foetal position.

I rarely wake in the night unless I'm too hot, luckily for me, and have slept through storms, hurricanes and burglaries without a care in the world :cool2:

I sleep like a corpse. Lying flat on my back, one pillow, legs straight and arms by my sides....not touching anything.

If I do turn on my side I need a cushion between my legs...discovered this during pregnancies...as someone said early...helps with hips.

I also snore and dribble - a lot.

Very interesting thread. Sleeps a funny thing isn't, so important but individual stylee's are not discussed.

I rest on my left ear in order to view the telly, though I find it easier to sleep on my right ear. If I have a migraine then I sleep on the side in which it persists...or not at all as often the case may be. Can't seem to sleep with my face kissing the pillow, but I tend to drop off surprisingly quickly on my back - but I hate that position anyway. I'm sometimes just thankful to sleep, regardless of position...

I always sleep on the right hand side of the bed if you look at it from the bottom whether I am alone or not.

I sleep on my left side with the duvet tucked underneath me.

I snore when I have a bad cold or have drunk to much due to a serious illness I had when I was a child which makes it difficult for me to breathe through my nose. :sad:

Ceri I sympathise with you, as I have suffered with insomnia on an off for years... I find it very difficult to get to sleep and then I wake at least once every night.... I have just learnt to live with it.

I want my own bed and am sick of sleeping with Mr F.

There I said it. He likes to be very tucked in and cosy - he sleeps facing the middle of the bed [ie ME]. I like to be free, free as a bird - with the duvet loosely flung over me - any fashion will do. I sleep on my left side - facing out of the bed, I have one v. thin pillow and one thick one between my knees, I do keep my feet on Mr F however.

I can also climb into bed and sleep under anything, clothes, towels, books, toys - I am a bit messy like that. He is anal and has his side neat, tucked and tidy.

If he has had a drink I slip a pillow on its edge between the bars in the headboard - creating a smell barrier - so he can't snore or breath all over me with his beery breath:sick: .

And he has appalling nightmares - which involve fighting lions or arresting violent criminals - they always involve full force puches, kicks [carthorse force] and elbows to my delicate little cheekbones!!

So I have made my case for my own bed - do you think I can get one??:wink_kiss

100% Starfish... thats me!! :w00t:

Now why did nobody comment on my fantabulous pics?? :cry:

Great pics Claire! :thumbsup: :photo: .... just what I need to see before climb the wooden hill to Bedfordshire! .. and how do you know it was your son he was shouting at?! huh! :wink2:


I sleep in foetal position on my right hand side facing out with only one pillow - never ever two - it gives me a headache. And I also always sleep with an old tee-shirt on - in case I'm burgled and some young lad comes into my bedroom to nick my cat and spies me naked and he dies of shock! :ohmy:
Oh and I always have to know that my cat is somewhere on the bed!

Oooh, I forgot the cats!

Pugwash is stationed on my head, Macduff is by my feet, P Cat is by Cockney's feet and Sophie Tucker sleeps by the radiator.

dies of shock!


I doubt that!!

lol! well at the very least gossips about me to his mates and points at me in the street!

LOL Claire!!!:laugh:

I was going to comment on your fantabulous pictures but I got onto a rant about wanting my own bed. So apologies for not commenting - so I shall now ...

the b/w mite ones remind me of those things that crawl along the ocean floor, and look like rocks - I am sure they would taste delish. But knowing that these things probably live in my bed fill me with horror. We once had a Kirby hoover salesman come to our house to give us a demo - we had a really really brand spanking new mattress at the time [well a few months old] - he made me strip the bed down and he hoovered it and all this gunk came off it - he told it was dead skin and allsorts of horrors. :ohmy: I use mattress protectors and change the bedding so often [like you I love clean fresh bedding] - but the little blighters still manage in a v. short time to get into the mattress.

So thank you for reminding me that I have to sleep with them tonight - uckky!!!:whistling

So I have made my case for my own bed - do you think I can get one??:wink_kiss

Go for it, Flip! You'll be glad you did. I slept alongside an unconscious martial artist for too long before throwing all my toys out of the pram and demanding my own space. We got our twin 3ft beds just before Christmas and both agree that we haven't slept so well for ages - and I no longer wake up bruised and murderous every few nights.

LOL Claire!!!:laugh:

Its disgusting isn't it. My hubby is alergic to dust mites, we have to turn the mattress over every week and hoover it or else he starts sneezing etc...

Its disgusting isn't it. My hubby is alergic to dust mites, we have to turn the mattress over every week and hoover it or else he starts sneezing etc...
Im allergic to dust mite - I have to hoover and turn the mattress weekly and I dont even go near Jade and Lewies pits (and they ARE pits the minging little blighters!!!!) when I lived at home Mum used to banish me from the house when she was changing the beds to prevent a full on asthma attack!

I sleep on my front but my head has to be lying on the left side.......we snuggle up for a cuddle when we 1st go to bed then its our own space as we fall asleep, although we will probably have our legs all tangled up as I get cold feet then cant sleep! I have 4 pillows, which stem from me being very ill years ago and not being able to lie down and sleep as I couldnt breath.....and according to himself Im a duvet hogger :unsure:

I HAVE to read before going to sleep - another habit I think, if I dont it takes me what seems like HOURS to drop off........the worst habit has been broken since moving to Devon, and that was the last splif of the night while tucked up in bed with my book........

As for the dog, well our bed is one of those divan types with cupboards for storing, with spare throws, sleeping bags etc in there - so Nipper Dawg has made himself very comfy in his little "appartment", the only problem is, I have to make sure he is out in the mornings as I lock our bedroom door (nothing is sacred in our house, Miss Jade thinks she can help herself to anything she likes.....which includes my Clarins, Clinique and other products/hairdryers/straightners/hairbrushes.....its not that I mind her using them, its that she NEVER puts anything away after her and I have a place for everything....right thats enough - Im not painting a very good picture of me am I - controlling old hag that I am:shocking: :laugh: )

I'm another one that has a small pillow between my knees to keep my hips aligned, again something that started in pregnancy and I've just never given it up. The sad thing is that whenever we go away I have to take my small pillow with me :blush:

The sad thing is that whenever we go away I have to take my small pillow with me :blush:I dont find that sad at all Voicey............I take a couple of my pillows and my ho****er bottle with me when I go to Glastonbury or other Festivals - a good few years ago my mates RIPPED it out of me for taking them.....guess WHO had the last laugh and guess who takes their pillows AND a hot water bottle now when they go to a festival!?!??!!?

There is nothing better than (when you are not in the comfort of your own bedroom) crashing out on your inflatable mattress (I do festivals in style peeps!!!) with fluffy comfy pillows to rest your weary head on!!!!!


EDITED: I dont know WHAT is offensive about "hot water" bottle but it made me giggle that its censored it!!!!!

Did you type hot water bottle as one word...in which case it contaings the word twa* :smartie:

I did that whole stop breathing thing again last night.....don't know why since I'm not stressed at all at the moment...well at least I don't think I am....it's been a long time since it last happened but is a little scarey! :wacko:

If you didn't put a space between the hot & water - take the ho off the front and the er off the back and you get t**t

Doh!!!!!! I didnt notice that!!!!!!

I have those sort of "panic attack" things Coastie, I wake up thinking I am being suffocated or buried alive................but only when I have gone without the ganja for a substantial amount of time, so I find the best cure for this is NOT to go without ganja....mind you....its been YEARS since it happened :ohmy: :naughty:

You should check out your local Holland and Barrett - they do some quite good sleep remedies...and I always find the staff really helpful.......

:blush: isnt it the WORST thing about getting older!!!!!!! Jade rips it out of me when I start plucking :wacko: my chinny chin chin........well I dont want to be known as Mrs Finnegan :wink_kiss

flip, you should get your own bed, deffo.

Mr C and I have separate ROOMS and it's bliss....for example, at the moment he has a really awful dry, hacking cough...if I were forced to share a room with him I'd have murdered him by now!! :laugh: But as it is, we can have a good kip and then clamber in together for a nice long lay in in the morning! :naughty:

Me and hubby usually have a cuddle before going to sleep, and then proceed to both face away from each other. Sounds awful, but we do love each other really.
I need my space. I turn over and sleep on my left side facing out. Apparently I'm a bit of a duvet hogger. And also he has told me that during the night I apparently make my way over to his side, end up right behind him, he moves over a bit, I move nearer to him some more, and he nearly ends up falling out of bed:blush:

I personally prefer a blanket with a throw over the top to sleep under. Duvets make me a bit too hot and bothered.

I NEVER snuggle up to Mr.B, although i used to try in the good old days. He hates it as i make him overheat, and he cant sleep. So i stay my side of the Kingsize bed, and he stays his :cry:

I do love my feather pillows, and cant sleep on 'ordinary' ones.

I sleep on the right hand side of the bed (if you are looking at the bed, and left hand side if laying in it). I prefer sleeping on my belly, or on my side.

I also sleep on my right side with my arm in between the two pillows and I have been known to talk in my sleep. At one time I'd often wake up on my back with my arms in the air, straight up in front of me and I'd be rubbing them! Quite what that was all about I don't know, but Mr V says I still do it sometimes but that he puts my arms down for me so I don't wake (bless) :wub:

I do exactly that too V, I put my arms straight out in front of me and stroke them and I have been known to disrobe my nightshirt from my shoulder and stroke that too. :blink: Mr tiggs has tried once or twice to be funny and start stroking my arm as well, in which I then pull my arm straight into myself again, and don't allow it. He finds it hilarious. I don't, cos it wakes me up. :angry:

LMAO Voicey and Tiggs!!! That is plain weird - but very funny.:laugh: :laugh:

Ok, so what do you wear in bed then? Is it just Chanel number 5 and a smile al lá Marilyn Monroe? or are you a wincyette nightie kinda gal? And what about you blokes, PJ's? boxers? or naked as the day that you were born?

I confess to having a fondness for pyjamas myself, because I like to slouch cosily round the house in them after my bath, though I usually discard the bottoms for bed :)

I have pj's for slouching around in the evening and for when I get out of bed in the morning so I am decent if I bump in to the boys on the landing.

But I always sleep naked as I don't like to be restricted whilst I am in bed!

What ever I pass out in. :pimp:

that is quite spooky voice, cos thats exactly what I do. Have my bath and get into my jammies and then take off the bottoms, cos I get radiator legs in bed, and just sleep in a t shirt......wierd......

What ever I pass out in. :pimp:


she has been known to pass out fully clothed with a bowl of chilli adorning her face and chest area........not attractive.........poor Mr Cat thought she had hemmoraghed(cant spell it and can't be arsed to look it up) overnight until he spotted the kidney bean!!!

Birthday suit and a few handfuls of talc, with a kaftan on hand for when I get out of bed.

Sleep? I vaguely remember what that was...

I don't wear anything to bed, don't like to be restricted.
And if I have to get up in the night for the boys, I walk around with nothing on.
Although lately my oldest son has been saying "Mummy, I can see you boobies":laugh:

Edited to say, don't worry ils, I will purchase something suitable to wear at night for the meet.

I used to suffer from insomnia when I went through a deep depression and lay awake worrying and used to give up and get up and watch TV. I couldn't read in bed because Mr C has to have the room pitch black. In the end I decided that if I was going to lie awake in bed I would get some of those story-tapes from the library. I could snuggle under the duvet with those "in the ear" type earphones so they didn't disturb Mr C (and they also shut out his snoring). It worked like magic. Instead of worrying about things I would concentrate my mind on the story and I found that after the first week or so of enjoying listening to the stories, I only got to listen to the first few minutes of the tape and I was out like a light.

I not only slept, but it was good sleep - deep, and as far as I know, dreamless or at least nightmare free.

I got fed up with rewinding the tapes to the bits I had missed each night, so in the end I bought a little radio which tucks under my pillow and as I don't like listening to music I tune into TalkSport which has a phone-in chat show thing in the late evening/night. It's pretty banal and I wish they would do more plays on late night radio but it serves its purpose.

I now call my radio my "dummy" - lol. I have to take it with me when we go away and I go into a panic if I can't find it. It's just become a habit now, climb into bed, plug in earphones, tune into chat show - fall asleep. Sometimes I have tried to stay awake when they have had something on that I am interested in (sometimes they have phone-ins about the supernatural and stuff like that) but I always drift off in a few minutes.

I suppose it works by focussing your mind off your problems in the same way that you can often fall asleep in front of the TV. Or it's a throw back to having a bedtime story read to you when you were a child. I don't know, but I just know it works for me.

I love my bed. It has a feather underlay thing that you sink into, two feather pillows and a King size duvet although it is only a double bed, so there's no "hogging" lol. When we went to stay with family recently their bed was rock hard, the duvet was like a flat blanket inside the cover and the pillows were hard foam. Mr. C and I played silly beggers when we got home saying "ooooh" and "aaaaah" and what a lovely bed we have and how comfy it is :)

And if I have to get up in the night for the boys, I walk around with nothing on.
Although lately my oldest son has been saying "Mummy, I can see you boobies":laugh:


Well when my boys were the same age as yours are, I didn't bother either Andrea but now they are teenagers it just doesn't seem appropriate to walk around naked, to be honest, I am not sure, who would be more embarrassed me or them! :laugh:

I wish they would do more plays on late night radio

I know this might sound a bit fiddly but if you had a radio cassette, and a personal cassette player, yo9u could record the Radio 4 afternoon play on on the radio cassette and play the tape back at night on the personal cassette player through your headphones.

Good idea SF. I never think about the radio in the daytime and didn't know they had plays. I might try that for a change. Thanks for the info. :thumbsup:

Sleep? I vaguely remember what that was...

Still being woken up in the night?

Don't worry, it will pass in due time Blinky :bye:

Still being woken up in the night?

Don't worry, it will pass in due time Blinky :bye:

Yeah but by the time it did pass, my own bladder has developed an adept way of waking me up right plonk in the middle of the night - without fail!!!:sad:

Last night I experimented with having only one pillow. Cockney, being a greedy slovenly wretch, decided to nab mine, giving him a total of 3 pillows.

This pushed him about a foot further down the bed, and me further up, which resulted in him snoring like a warthog, and me only having duvet coverage to waist height.

*sigh*

I know where I would put the theiving warthog to sleep tonight Floops!!!:glare:

Aw, he didnt actually nick it, I was getting shoulder ache, so I decided to try just one. He was just being greedy be having the spare on as well.

I might make him sleep in the shed though. just for a laugh.

Why didn't you just kick lumps out of him until he gave it back? What's with this sudden attack of good manners??!! :shocking:

I voluntarily gave my pillow up (dont think I explained myself very well).


I have tried kicking him whilst he sleeps, but all that happens is that he says "yes dear" and continues sleeping.

ROTFLMAO!!!! :w00t: Be careful though, last time I did that I dislocated my little finger!!!

I absolutely CANNOT share a bed with anyone, I HAVE to sleep alone.

I always start off on my side but end up on my back.

When I smoked I used to wake myself up with my own snoring!

I am a very light sleeper and have to wear earplugs all the time, otherwise even the sound of the wind blowing through the trees will keep me awake.

I am suffering from dreadful insomnia at the moment due to stress and feel like poo.

When I don't have insomia I go to sleep about 10.30 and wake up bright and early at 5.45.

Edit:

I can only sleep if cuddling a pillow and with the duvet jammed between my knees to align my hips properly. I also have to have two pillows under my head, and they have to be feather not foam.

I like to use my electric blanket in the winter!

And I have a king size bed to myself... :sleep:

I also have to have ear plugs to sleep as the slightest noise will wake me, can you recommend any? Most I have tried I can still hear through and they fall out in the middle of the night. I used to sleep like the dead when I was younger in fact my previous husband used to say I slept the sleep of someone with no conscience! I must have developed one now cos I do suffer with insomnia, difficulty in sleeping and/or waking in the night and cannot get back to sleep. This is usually an effect of the menopause.

i sleep with my eyes closed isnt that what everyone does exept green berets.


only joking i need 2 pillows and find it very hard to drop off and turn from right side to left till i nod off. I can't go to sleep on my back i just stay awake although i do turn onto my back and snore (so i've been told)

Heavily if the old man is feling frisky

I slept like a log last night - outside, and covered in moss. :unsure: :D
