I am a middle-of-the-bed hogg!!! Mostly I curl up and pull the blankets up over my head and around myself. I love duvets and blankets.

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 23 September 2002 07:32 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't think I snore or move around at all. An ex-boyfriend once spent the whole night becoming more and more certain I'd died and panicking about it because I'd (drunkenly) fallen asleep mid-sentence and then not stired at all. I was woken up by him shaking me in the small hours of the morning going "thank God you're still alive!"

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 23 September 2002 08:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Eyes rolled back in head, gob open, snoring loudly.

― RickyT (RickyT), Monday, 23 September 2002 08:13 (twenty-three years ago)

side of bed, legs entwined round duvet, apparently I started snoring in the summer but I seem to have stopped again.

― Tom (Groke), Monday, 23 September 2002 08:21 (twenty-three years ago)

I move about ALL THE TIME, a couple of times I have managed to turn my bedsheets inside out, which is quite impressive. Also I appear to have GENDER RULES ie when I am sleeping with a BOY in the same bed I am mostly good and share blankets in my nocturnal state, but when it is with a GURL I hogg the blankets like a right bad-un (sorry Lixi although it happened years ago but still sorry).

I also have a floppy DOG who shares my slumber with me. Sadly sometimes he ends up falling out of the bed as I flop about. CHIZ.

When I am not sleeping I am mostly going GRR GRR waaaaaaaa or reading or enjoying the mere fact of BED.

I have a tendency for bed-hogging, but I like to stretch and relax. Selfish me.

Freezing after my husband rolls over and pulls all of the sheets off. (Think bed hogs are bad? They're nothing compared to the horrible menace, SHEET HOGS.)

I would be a bed/sheet hog if I got to sleep but generally I am too weak and slow at falling asleep so I just find myself crammed cover-less against the wall or teetering on the edge and as I stay awake and my attempts to reclaim any space or duvet fail I get more and more crotchety and will probably end up waking the other person up with a big and completely unnecessary (but these things do feel necessary after several sleep-free hours) strop. And I have strange brain-still-asleep conversations if I get woken up in the middle of the night and then I feel deeply ashamed. I suppose I get this from my father, whom we often had to wake up in the middle of Newsnight to ask things like "Where is that important form that I need for tomorrow?" and who usually gave replies like, "zzzmmm, I put it in the oven underneath the purple kittens."

I'm also rubbish at, er uh um, all other aspects of bed-sharing and indeed relationships (and most aspects of existence, actually), but that's ok, I like cats and am already used to having incomprehensible insults shouted at me by ten-year-olds on street corners whenever I leave the house, so I should have little problem adapting to the mad old cat-lady lifestyle. Perhaps I'll be the first catlady in the UK to torment her neighbours with high-volume Phantomsmasher and Rumah Sakit and make all the cats little hats not by knitting but in Photoshop.

i was really sore last night and got up at 1, 3, 5 and 7. usually i thrash in bed, or snore,moan,grit teeth-et. al.

― anthony easton (anthony), Monday, 23 September 2002 16:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Once asleep I'm peaceful, peacefully cuddling into my cat Binx. I don't like sharing a bed with fidgety people who just toss and turn while they're sleeping, or snore for that matter, or unintentionally kick lumps out of me. I'm just over 5'4 so sometimes I'll sleep horizontally across the bed rather than vertically.

― Shaz, Monday, 23 September 2002 17:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Twitchy.

― Mandee, Monday, 23 September 2002 17:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Sigh. I wish I had a bed hogger S.O. (But not a blanket hogger, they suck.)

See, this is the only part I miss about being in a relationship, is having someone to sleep with. Not the sex bit, getting sex is easy. Can I please have a person to sleep with, who I don't have to have a relationship with, and I don't have to fuck, and I don't have to do any of that other annoyingness, but who I just get to squeeze like a cuddly toy when they try to hog the bed and push me into the wall. Surely there must be some arrangement that someone can come to.

Sigh. FLoppy fringed indie boy who doesn't try to get me to listen to crap electro and doesn't mind AC/DC would be preferred.

― kate, Monday, 23 September 2002 17:47 (twenty-three years ago)

''Not the sex bit, getting sex is easy.''

Um, good for you.

as for me I am nevah comfortable when trying to get sleep but i get sleep becuz i get tired of feeling uncomfortable.

also whenever i listen to music I lie in bed and look at the wall.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 23 September 2002 17:54 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't know, I drool on my pillow like a child. I roll around alot I guess aswell cos my hair tends to look funny in the morning, though sometimes if it's really odd and I like it I'll just go with it for the day. Far be it from me to fight the forces of nature and I'm going bald anyway so I might as well enjoy it.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 23 September 2002 18:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Apparently I sing in my sleep.

― Ess Kay (esskay), Monday, 23 September 2002 19:04 (twenty-three years ago)

I get kicky --- even when I'm really tired, I still have some restless nervous energy that makes me start kicking when I start falling asleep.

― Nicole (Nicole), Monday, 23 September 2002 21:40 (twenty-three years ago)

i never get any sleep if someone else is in my bed unless i'm drunk. this isn't cos of sex, its cos (almost) everyone whos ever slept in my bed has been a bed hogger.

― di smith (lucylurex), Monday, 23 September 2002 22:40 (twenty-three years ago)

I think I never saw me sleeping. Tomorrow I'll buy 4 hour tape and record me in LP. Could be scary, you should try it too.
I can stay awake for days, but when I hit a bed, even if I'm perfectly fresh, I almost instantly fall asleep. It takes me ages to finish the books I have by my bed. I hold the pillow, sleep with a blanket over me even in the hottest summers, I feel uptight when sleeping with someone else and can't hardly sleep. I once woke up with my feet where my head should be and my head where my feet should be. That was shocking.

Also, hi. This be my first post.

― mario, Tuesday, 24 September 2002 00:44 (twenty-three years ago)

i can sometimes sleep completely still, with arms folded over my chest in that 'corpse in the coffin' position. apparently, anyway.

cuddly, talker (I tend to fall into really long conversations w/bedmates when we both need to get to sleep...or when we don't, or aren't otherwise occupied), snorer when on back, deep deep sleeper.

Covers pulled up. Cat asleep on my legs. Cup of verveine on nightstand. Book propped up on my chest.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 24 February 2006 15:47 (nineteen years ago)

Immobile. I sleep in one position and I wake up still in it and don't touch me, because any other way my back is an aching, cramped knot in the morning. In fact when I try to "sleep in" on the weekends my back usually drives me out of bed before being awake does.

Isn't that terribly boring and elderly of me? I must be ninety-five years old.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 24 February 2006 16:01 (nineteen years ago)

If you are then I am too. Permanent back pain. Fun for all the family. I am seriously considering changing my mattress. How long should you keep a mattress for anyway? I've had my current one for nearly five years.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Friday, 24 February 2006 16:14 (nineteen years ago)

I like really soft mattresses -- hard ones make me an absolute knot without a lot of extra pillows to put under my knees and things. I've always meant to try sleeping in a hammock, for the roundest back possible, but never actually put one up indoors. So I dunno?

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 24 February 2006 16:25 (nineteen years ago)

I've been knitting in bed lately.

Mindful. Slow to come. Love caressing each other.

What, this isn't about sex?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 24 February 2006 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

anyway...

verveine! I can never find it, but then, I always forget to look - I'm told it's really nice.

I slept on a futon (not the same one) from the age of 10 until, uh, last year, when a friend gave me his fairly new, fairly firm and AWESOME mattress. omg, can I ever go back to futon now?

re: 2 beds: I didn't actually have a desk in undergrad (!) so did most of my work on my bed or in the computer lab. (I have a back of steel! but I was younger and now I know it to not be all that good a thing to do for hours on end.) I had this idea a while back for a DeskBed, with a sort of chair thing dropped down in the middle so you could have all your stuff around you and still be ergonomically sound.

I sleep incredibly deeply most of the time, on my side, facing out towards wherever the bigger space is in the room. But I want to try sleeping in a closed-in bed, like a queen-sized bed capsule. I have a lot of thoughts about beds.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Friday, 24 February 2006 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

I always go to sleep flat on my back, with my arms on my side, but sometimes if I wake up in the middle of the night, I'll curl up on my side -- usually because I'm cold and I'm too out of it to arrange covers properly.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 24 February 2006 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

british people dont have sex in bed tuomas. its just not polite.

bed is scientifically proven to be the best place in the world, ever.

The unfortunate syllogism one could take from this being that bed is the best place in the world because one doesn't have to have sex with British people there and we all know that that is sheer nonsense.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 24 February 2006 17:05 (nineteen years ago)

maybe it should say "british people dont have sex with me in bed" :(

despite that, its still the best place ever, finishing well above secodn place, which i think is probably the toilet

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 24 February 2006 17:14 (nineteen years ago)

An antibiotic has been giving me bad night sweats so I spend the night gradually inching my way across my (thankfully queensize) mattress to escape freezing soaked sheets.

― Aaron A, Friday, 24 February 2006 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

Mrs. Monkey, have you ever tried one of those big full-body pillows? Mrs. Hardy swears by hers -- she used to be really down in the back, but a few months with one of those pillows straightened her right out.

― pixel farmer (Rock Hardy), Friday, 24 February 2006 17:39 (nineteen years ago)

Tuomas, I kind of want to throw up now.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 24 February 2006 17:43 (nineteen years ago)

Mr. Hardy, I have not. Perhaps I shall. Is it like a big bolster or something?

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Friday, 24 February 2006 17:50 (nineteen years ago)

i cant sleep on my back, though i wish i could - maybe it would help my atrocious posture.

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 24 February 2006 17:53 (nineteen years ago)

This is like the one Mrs. Hardy has. Having something (other than a spouse who generates too much heat) to throw your upper leg over is handy for straightening out the spine. ("Upper leg" sounds wrong, but whatever.)

― pixel farmer (Rock Hardy), Friday, 24 February 2006 18:51 (nineteen years ago)

Doesn't she get cold without covers, though?

soft mattress = back problems

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 24 February 2006 20:05 (nineteen years ago)

I think that's not true for everyone, Gab...? I've read that Americans are especially in love with their very firm mattresses as opposed to Europeans, but that for some kinds of back pain a softer mattress can be a help. I've been testing that theory for years (by default, when I travel or etc) and it's certainly held true for me: no matter how long I spend trying to adjust, firm mattresses cause me great pain.

― Laurel (Laurel), Friday, 24 February 2006 20:13 (nineteen years ago)

-- N.

Oh, my god, the idea of this is the most darling thing ever.

Last night I hollered "Stop! STop! Help!!" and my girlfriend woke me up thinking I was having some horrible night terror (the cat ran away scared). Actually it was more like a Disney Escape from Witch Mountain sort of nightmare where a ghost was making me float around the galley of a ferry boat and I was trying to yell at some Australians spinsters to come see what was occuring. I was more annoyed than scared.

― andy --, Friday, 24 February 2006 21:00 (nineteen years ago)

soft mattress = back problems

I don't think that's always true. A hard mattress is much worse for my back, I've found, even after getting used to it, and can sometimes even cut off some circulation.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 24 February 2006 21:03 (nineteen years ago)

I say all kinds of wierd shit in my sleep sometimes. I've been known to sleepwalk, also.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 24 February 2006 21:07 (nineteen years ago)

inside the mall there is about 4-5 feet of standing black water with debris. across the debris, leaping, running, are dozens of long-haired albino rats with pig noses. they are the size of raccoons. or small dogs. they are immaculately clean somehow. they terrorize, yet we wade around trying to take care of business. one takes a bite out of my ex's face and i'm horrified. then i wake up and because i slept in a little ball because my room is fr-fr-freezing, my neck is fucked and i can't look to the left without turning my whole body, which is a bitch while trying to drive to work. just another night of me in bed.

Nick, I can't help thinking of you as a brownie in your own house. You know brownies, right? You leave out bowls of milk and they tidy up in your sleep? The laughing, the singing, the pointy little chin...

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Friday, 24 February 2006 23:45 (nineteen years ago)

omg, sleep laughing is the weirdest! I've woken myself up doing it and subsequently creeped myself out. It's like laughter that's inside you and has escaped without your knowledge. It's not really normal laughter, is what I'm saying.

I sleep with wrist braces to fight carpal tunnel syndrome, and elbow braces to combat cubital tunnel syndrome. My arms remain entirely straight, but I can't sleep on my back, so I always sleep on my right side, right arm sticking off the bed. Can't sleep with less than four pillows. When I lived at home after college I had a dog and five cats that shared my bed with me at various times in the night.

I took melatonin for a while too, and it sort of worked. But now I take night-time Excedrin when I need to get to sleep and can't. Either that or a good big slug of Benylin.

Although really I don't have much trouble getting to sleep anymore, it's more that I can't sleep all the way through the night, because every time I change position in the bed, my back wakes me up.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Saturday, 25 February 2006 10:17 (nineteen years ago)

I try to sleep on my left side in a sort of fetal position. About half of the time, I wake up on my stomach (which guarantees a pretty nasty headache that day). I can't fall asleep on my back. In the rare event that I end up asleep on my back, I snore like a chainsaw.

― Pork Cheops (willpie), Saturday, 25 February 2006 18:12 (nineteen years ago)

i usually toss and turn a bunch, unless i'm actually sleepy, in which case i tend to drift off right away. i also tend to get bored with the actual effort it takes to fall asleep, so i wind up turning the light on and grabbing a book way more often than i should.

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Saturday, 25 February 2006 22:46 (nineteen years ago)

I can read or work on a sudoku or crossword in bed for about 3-5 minutes before I'm out cold (my sympathies go out to everyone on the insomnia thread). I go to sleep on my right side, wake up on my left side, usually sleep for about 7 hours before stiffness or a full bladder force me out of bed, and depending on general stress levels, either snore softly or grind my teeth loudly in the middle of the night. I usually don't remember my dreams, which I'm happy about, because if they're vivid enough to wake me up, I have a hard time getting back to sleep. I can't wear anything to bed without waking up during the night feeling like I'm being strangled or tied up.
