Sleeping Habits

[Shorty]

I have to fall asleep with the tv on. Doesn't matter what it is as long as it's low volume, but I've slept like that for years and if I try to change it up, I'm awake all night. I tend to sleep on my right side and I can't fall asleep comfortably in clothes or pajamas because they're so smurfing suffocating

What are your sleeping habits, EoFF? Do you have a specific position or side of the bed you prefer? Do you need music or the lights on? Can you pass out anywhere?

[Jinx]

You know who has the most smurfed up sleeping habits on here? Freya.

I usually go to bed around midnight and wake up at about 6 or 7am. I can fall asleep with music on, with the tv on, sitting up, laying down, in bed, on the floor, on the couch, in a chair, with the light on, with the light off, with a sleeping partner, without a sleeping partner.

The one smurfing thing I need to properly sleep at night though, is like, 3 fans. If I don't have a wind tunnel going on in my room, I can't sleep at all.

Oh, and I sleep naked.

[Trumpet Thief]

It takes me about 2/3 hours to fall asleep. Stupid insomnia.

[Bubba]

My sleeping habits are awful. It takes me ages to get to sleep unless I'm absolutely shattered. I like to have the TV on as well. If sleep in total silence then my mind will start racing with ridiculously random thoughts. I have a few shows/films that I can put on which will help me sleep.

I have to sleep in the nud as well because I get ridiculously hot in the night. Even in the winter.

I prefer to fall sleep on my left side, but I can pretty much fall asleep anywhere, in any position.

[Faris]

Growing up, I've never been able to sleep in complete darkness unless someone else was in the room with me. I need to be able to see every corner of the room or else my head decides to mess with me and it helps me calm down after a nightmare so I have the TV on muted with dimmed settings. What I wear to bed depends on the temperature and how I lay depends on what's comfortable that night.

[Raistlin]

I always have difficulty falling asleep. I need a fan or something to provide background noise; pure silence will keep my brain too active. I also prefer sleeping nude for comfort and because I can't sleep if I'm hot.

[Bunny]

I have to be dead tired in order to fall asleep. I also need to be laying on my stomach with my left arm bent underneath me to prop up my left side and my right arm straight underneath me in a way that props me up slightly less than my left side. My head, specifically the area surrounding my ear has to be covered by the pillow case of a pillow (but not by the pillow itself) and I have to have a sheet or a blanket covering my legs up to my knees, if not further than that. My feet have to be crossed at the ankles and I have to be wearing socks and, occasionally, a shirt depending on how hot it is. I also have to be wearing shorts or pants of some kind. If any one of these things is off, ever so slightly, it is impossible to go to sleep. Oh, and this does not always work because it has to be the exact right spot, so I shift uncomfortably several times before falling asleep in order to find that sweet spot.

If I happen to wake up in the middle of the night (which happens often because I shift in my sleep) then I'm more or less smurfed depending on how much sleep I have gotten. If more than 2-3 hours, then I am awake for at least another hour or two. If less than 2-3 hours, then I can typically fall asleep easier than before in around 10-15 minutes. However, if at any time I get out of bed then I am awake all night.

I'm probably forgetting something but this is roughly how my nights go and is the principle reason I go to bed around 3-4 every night.

Raistlin also reminded me of another thing! I absolutely have to have a fan blowing on my face and shoulders at all times during the night. This usually means that I have to have a fan pointed directly at me that is placed around a foot or two away.

Edit: I keep remembering more things. My head has to be faced left. This is because I used to have to sleep with music and my had to have one earbud in my left ear (with nothing in my right).

[Jiro]

I can generally sleep absolutely smurfing anywhere. I slept upside down in a lounge chair once, I used to regularly sleep on cold tiles, my car has become a bed several times and I discovered a relatively comfortable way to sleep on planes. However I generally sleep better with a little background noise so music/tv is very helpful.

[Pike]

I need earplugs.

I usually fall asleep on my stomach or side. It's impossible for me to fall asleep on my back, but I've woken up on my back before.

[Madame Adequate]

I need to have something running to sleep, either a fan or a computer or something along those lines. I just need some noise!

[Hollycat]

I can't fall asleep without playing some violin music
also feet must be sticking out from under covers.
Fan must be on

[Madame Adequate]

She also needs a pillow on her head! Apparently I've got a habit of replacing it if it falls off, even if I'm asleep.

And she hits me in the face, too.

At least I don't grope the person in bed with me while they're asleep!

[Madame Adequate]

Your point is... that I'm alpha enough to feel you up even when I'm asleep?
