So on the radio the other morning, they were discussing strange habits adults have while sleeping.

One guy HAD to sleep in a particular pair of socks that he's been wearing for 16 years. In fact, he even left a weekend get-a-way because he forgot to pack them. :huh:

Another woman HAD to sleep on her 30+ year old baby pillow. th_yuk.gif

What about you or your S.O.? Any strange sleeping habits?

I can't stand to have someone breathe in my face so I make hubby fall asleep with his back turned to me. :bigsmile:

I'll wake up & turn over if we're ever facing the same way. :laugh:

Your turn! :smile:

    I'm the same way.

    They did say that if you have young children 2-5 and they're having trouble falling asleep to put socks on them and they'll go to sleep. :huh:

    Who knows? :tongue:

    But if your kids have night terrors like my 3yo...NO socks = no more night terrors. So odd.

    I can sleep with or without clothes, but absolutely NO SOCKS!!! For me to sleep well, unless I am exhausted, there has to be NO light, NO sound, NOT hot, but NOT cold. Yes, I know I am weird.

    yaeh i hate the breathing in my face too!!!:laugh:

    i'm somewhat on the abnormal side so i have far far too many quirks but ....
    - i need to be COMPLETELY covered from the chin down...no matter how hot it is!
    - i can't breahe if the covers r over my head....cause i keep thinking i need "NEW" air.....kinda the same as someone breathing in my face...i don't want to breath on MY OWN face either :laugh:
    - i need to sleep with with an eye mask on cause any amount of light will wake me up....
    - i sleep with ear plugs in cause i can "ACTUALLY HEAR my fish making bubbles :ohwell:
    - need to make sure the covers r equal on both sides of the bed to make sure we will have enough covers EACH without stealing them from each other...

    those r my quirks...till i wake up anyways and add new quirks to ....whatever i'm doing

    I am truly blessed in that I can sleep anywhere and anytime. Once the brownstone across the street from me burned down and I slept through the fire trucks and ambulances. I have also been able to fall asleep in my car, in the jail (while working), on trains, planes, and automobiles, and much to my shame I have even fallen asleep in a bar bathroom. I will sleep anywhere and everywhere. speechless-smiley-003.gif

    I can't sleep in socks.

    I don't like facing my partner either.

    I have to be completely covered in Winter (sometimes even tuck all the covers under and around my feet!)

    But, in the Summer, I have to have one leg outside the covers. Even in a/c


    :huh: Am I strange???

    Well, this is my nightly routine.

    Put on jammies,
    Put on sweatshirt over jammies,
    Put on socks.
    Get into bed,
    cover with blankets up to my nose.
    approx 1/2hr later sock come partial off (just covering my toes.
    approx 1/2 hr later socks come off completely and
    sweatshirt comes off too.

    I can finally sleep.

    Oh yeah, I need absolute silence too. :grumble:
