I have to start out tucked in and cozy, so that I may throw the sheets about in my sleep when I warm up

My god you tucked in people are all crazy. It gets so hot and stuffy!! The only thing worse would be if you said you wore socks in addition to tucking. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
yes! i feel this way. i cannot have the end of anything be tucked in anywhere while sleeping and must kick it free before i can even think about relaxing in bed.

tucked-in is the only way to ensure the blankets will be laying evenly across your body when you pull them tight! savages.

if you don't tuck the top sheet in it will become wrapped around your body as the night progress leading to mummification

Rayuela otm. As mentioned earlier I don't use a top sheet but I'd be OK with it if it did. I usually sort of sleep with them covers wrapped around me 1/2 in 1/2 out anyway.
I am surprised at the number of tuckers. I am also near certain we've had this conversation before and think I may even recall WMC admitting to wearing socks?

I like to fold the topsheet over the comforter when I pull it up under my chin, and if the sheet isn't tucked in it slides around and annoys me and I hate having part of me covered with sheet and part of me covered with comforter and there is SCIENCE here, these things must be in place or it's sleep anarchy!

i had no idea that tucking was so popular. i was always mystified by what I had been interpreting as some sort of hotel bedding convention that made no sense and was only in place for appearance sake!
― rayuela, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:41 (twelve years ago) link
how do your feet not feel all compressed up in the bottom corner of the bed? this i madness.
― pvmic bellvm (goole), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:43 (twelve years ago) link
x-psot - Me neither! Being tucked in is such an awful feeling to me that I'm genuinely surprised by the number of tuckers.
― (✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:43 (twelve years ago) link
i wish i could grow up enough to make my bed in the morning - not to tuck but just to lay the duvet cover flat (i do not tuck or use a topsheet) but i don't see this ever happening.

I do wear socks at night in the coldest winter months. I radiate a crazy amt of body heat everywhere except through my feet.
My feet don't get forced into uncomfortable positions in bed because I sleep on my side and because I leave enough slack in the bedcovers at the foot of the bed to allow my feet to move.
― Biff Wellington (WmC), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:46 (twelve years ago) link
do you guys sleep on your back and have your feet sticking straight up?

interesting technique, WmC

not to tuck but just to lay the duvet cover flat (i do not tuck or use a topsheet) *high five*
― (✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:48 (twelve years ago) link
The days I manage to lay the duvet cover flat and reposition the pillows are good days. It feels better when I get home. Doesn't happen every day though.
I sleep on my stomach with my arms under my pillow. One leg straight, one bent.
― (✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:49 (twelve years ago) link
alternatively you can sleep with your head under the tucked side and your feet hanging out the other

i kinda do this but usually one of my arms will go to sleep before i do

maybe i'm crap at sleeping, idk
I wake up with my hands asleep pretty often. :/

I sleep sort of on my stomach with my head turned to the side, and often end up with one or both hands under my chest...often get awoken by 'dead hand' fuzziness
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:55 (twelve years ago) link
I'd get one of those body pillows for spooning but I'd probably end up with one that elbowed me in the face
― mh, Tuesday, 26 June 2012 18:56 (twelve years ago) link
Head to the side, yes. I don't, like, face plant into the pillow.

If there were a way to run elastic under the mattress that would hold my top sheet taut and keep it from ever moving, don't think I wouldn't get some.

geez, all the 'good' stuff was hidden by the sheets discussion.
refused to dance, ride a bike, go in the water, or get sand on you.
well, I can't do 2 of these.
Anyway, L, just let me vet the next one early on.

- I like having my feet covered.- Tucking the end (not the sides) of the sheet ensures foot coverage.

Bedding layout doesn't seem to matter, no matter how neatly the bed is made, the other person always winds up with all the covers by the morning.
