thread to get over a breakup

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

brownie otm -- untucked is wrong, bad, evil

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!

thread to get over bedding

Thanks, Grady.

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!

how do your feet not feel all compressed up in the bottom corner of the bed? this i madness.

x-psot - Me neither! Being tucked in is such an awful feeling to me that I'm genuinely surprised by the number of tuckers.

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.

do you guys sleep on your back and have your feet sticking straight up?

interesting technique, WmC

i sleep any goddam way i feel like and my covers obey

not to tuck but just to lay the duvet cover flat (i do not tuck or use a topsheet) *high five*

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.

alternatively you can sleep with your head under the tucked side and your feet hanging out the other

I sleep on my stomach with my arms under my pillow

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

I'd get one of those body pillows for spooning but I'd probably end up with one that elbowed me in the face

Head to the side, yes. I don't, like, face plant into the pillow.

yeah there's asleep and there's double super comatose oh god i've really paralyzed my own limb this time asleep

if anyone wants to know my bedsheet/duvet situation, just let me know

gr80 i was just about to ask you

y'all need bedding suspenders

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.

so interesting, everyone sleeping in beds and all

I'll go break up with my husband (for wearing socks while sleeping, natch) to keep this threadcount on track for you gr80

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.

(and by 'vet" I don't necessarily mean "spay")

if only we all had the convenience to have our dates vetted by Morbs

I'm genuinely surprised by the number of tuckers

^^^ I don't understand this phenomenon either. It must be like sleeping in a straitjacket?

I just tuck the end, not the sides! sheesh

I couldn't even stand having the end tucked.

Wait that sounds like something else.

Morbs! You would only let me date Mets fans!

just not a bunch of mothertuckers.

- 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.

Try using separate sheets; works for my husband and me.

what happened to this thread?

sheet hit the fan

We're all three sheets to the wind.

I miss a top sheet - since the lady, it's been duvet's only, one for me one for her. I could get a sheet out only for the half the week that she doesn't stay here, but to be honest I don't even make the bed (fold the duvets in half lengthways, put all the pillows at the head of the bed) unless she's coming up.

I go to sleep face sideways / belly down, and wake in any of several poses - though if I'm on my back then I'm probably being elbowed awake for snoring.

top sheet, untucked, no comforter/duvet except for one or two months a year
with current spooning partner, I'm actually uncovered most of the night when she stays but she radiates enough heat that it doesn't matter

With the mr. out of town, I have re-discovered that I am, in fact, the world's tidiest sleeper. I climb out of bed after eight hours having barely disturbed the sheets and coverlet; I make the bed in one motion with a single hand. When the bed has dual occupancy, it is another story altogether.

yes but gr080 do you tuck your sheets in or not

I must confess I wasn't even sure what a top sheet *was*. Duvets only, thanks.

(NB: I might only be posting this because I find annoying gr80 a little amusing)

Post that effortlessly sum up ILX.. ;) I can harp on about anything when it's comically annoying someone!
