Sleeping Habits

When I was unemployed I had the worst sleeping pattern ever. I used to stay up until 4am most of the time & then couldn't get up until after midday.

Now that I'm working I'm keeping much better hours so it's up about 8am & in work by 9am. The only problem is my bed time hasn't really improved much. In my heart of hearts I know I should be trying to go to bed around about 11pm but to be honest it's always 1am-1:30. This has resulted in having to leg it for a bus on more than one occasion :/

I can't wear anything but boxers while I sleep either because it's really uncomfortable. Sleeping naked is great too but I don't do that a lot because I'm paranoid of someone walking in & my bed covers have a nasty habit of finding their way to the floor :lol: Given that I grew up in the countryside I prefer to sleep in total darkness but I've lived the best part of the last 7 years in a city so I adjusted to a having background noise.

I can fall asleep on the couch easily, and if you're there, you become my pillow.

I don't care if I'm drooling on you, don't smurfing move, I'm comfortable.

As far as bed, I sleep naked or in underwear. I put off a lot of heat, so any extra layers make me feel smothered. I do like blankets in the winter though.

I'm a night-groper from what I've been told. So, y'know, fair warning if you wake up with my morning wood on your thigh. I'm sure it's mostly unintentional. :shifty:

I can usually fall asleep on either side or my stomach, but sometimes to sleep I have to adopt my Wile E. Coyote position.

I think I mentioned this somewhere before. I start on my stomach with my head facing right, no pillow. My left arm sticks straight out from my shoulder, then making a 90 degree turn at my elbow towards my feet. My left leg is straight. My right arm comes straight out from shoulder, but makes a 90 degree turn up at the elbow. My right leg is picked up, so it looks like it's coming straight out from my waist, then it also makes a 90 degree turn at my knee down towards the foot of the bed. I need a pillow under my right leg.

It's Wile E. Coyote, because from above my body matches the outline he makes in the earth every time he plummets off a cliff.

I forgot to add vital information to this thread. I am also a nude sleeper. I also have a cat that rubs all over me when this happens.

Sleep anyway except on my back, I prefer to have a TV or radio on. and I don't care what side I'm on.

I sleep in my boxers or basketball shorts. and a t-shirt in winter. Also I go to bed between 9:30 and 10:30 on weeknights and whenever I feel like passing out on weekends. Sometimes I hate working at 5 am.

Remind me never to pet, or nuzzle your cat.

Ah, I left out what time I go to bed. I am apparently an anomaly in that I try to get a full 7+ hours of sleep every single day, and I'm pretty good at succeeding. This is odd enough to most people that it takes doctors and nurses by surprise when they ask how much sleep I'm getting and I tell them 7-8 hours all seven days a week.

I adjust my bedtime and wake-up-time according to whatever job I have at the moment. Currently I'm at my earliest shift yet: it starts at 4am. So I go to bed between 7-8pm and wake up at 3am. Yup.

Well, looks like I'm not getting any work done for the rest of the afternoon. The thought of naked Boobs is just too distracting.

Personally, I go to bed around 10-11:30 most nights and try to get a minimum of 7 hours. I can only sleep on my side or back, and even then, only on my side if I'm really tired. I only sleep in a pair of boxer briefs, and in summer I need about 15 fans going simultaneously to keep me cool enough to not wake up drenched in sweat if I manage to sleep at all. The only other thing I tend to do is either snuggle my wife for warmth in the winter or hold hands/fingers in the summer because it's too warm for more contact than that.

Lying about what!

Probably sleeping naked. You totally had clothes on when you were asleep.

That's why I couldn't get comfortable and kept squirming around and waking him up!

I don't know what you're talking about, I'm pretty sure I slept like a rock.

Wait, what? You didn't stay the night with us! Or do you mean when we hung out with Justy last year, cause I KNOW I squirmed you awake then!

I wear pajamas like a sane person, because like Shiny, I cannot fight crime naked. What are you guys gonna do when you get burgled? Also my sensitive parts would be sensitive. Also I go to sleep at a reasonable time and usually fall asleep in about five minutes. I don't have secret sleep positions or requirements other than normal temperature. You're all a bunch of pantywaists.

I am going to use that insult often.

The fewer clothes I am, the better at fighting crime I become. Nudity is my ultimate form, because at that point I am wielding a weapon.

I sleep with a fan on. Other than that it's whatever.

I can sleep pretty much anywhere but I'm a very light sleeper, generally. Movies are great sleepaids.

If you are a guy like me you jump up all and down to make your ding dong flop everywhere. Start screaming like Humphry Bogart in a grindcore band, but sing the lyrics to Full House or something. Then suddenly stop, try to look as evil as possible and ask, "Are you proud of what you've become?"
