For those who sleep alone

[Raven]

I'm weird, I have two normal pillows and one small square pillow. I have a habit where I wont sleep on the normal pillows, but instead I'll get right in the middle of my bed and fix my small pillow right below the two other pillows and fold it and just sleep like that. And I also have a habit of sleeping with my phone under one of my normal pillows. I have hard time going to sleep but if I don't have everything as written above I have a harder time going to sleep. I love my small pillow, it's blue with panther patterns on it. And I also can't sleep without my thick comforter and fur blanket. It don't matter how hot it is outside, I have to have them all year round. My ex use to fuss at me over it, he'd tell me that he can't see how I can sleep like that without burning up or anything. And he'll complain that all the blankets would burn him up lol.

Do you have something you snuggle?

I have an Asian style round pillow that I hold against myself

I lay on my side and hold a pillow close to me.  My dog sleeps between my legs or curled up against my belly (she is currently curled up on my lap) at night and I can't sleep without her sleeping close to me.

Wow, reading this I feel so boring On my bed, there is exactly a sheet below me, me and a sheet above. No pillows or any other things. Sometimes my cat is lying between my legs. When I was in a relationship or having a one-night stand, it was horrible for me after sex because the other person always wanted to lie at least close to me if not snoggle and I cannot sleep if someone's touching me. So I basically didn't sleep those times.

I'm the same way. XD If I ever get into a serious relationship, we'll have to invest into two king or queen beds and push them together because I can't sleep next to someone, but it's because of the body heat and because I like to stretch out in my sleep (I take up a queen all by myself).

Ya i like to sleep alone and i really dont like to snuggle with anything, its not boring,  its just the way you're comfortable.

I recently acquired a "Sock Monkey"... So I snuggle it along with my round Asian pillow

[aubrey]

I used to constantly need to snuggle up to my body pillow when feeling super dysphoric or depressed but now I just always have it beside me so I feel like someone is there...and the kitties have their usual spots nearby.

[Pundit]

Yes, my baby blankie.

Don't laugh. =P

Nothing I don't like being restricted or touched when I'm sleeping.

I'd need my own bed too, but also my own bedroom. I like to have somewhere private to retire to, and sleep to me is a pretty private thing. The presence of another person would put me off, no matter how much I loved him/her.

There's also my insomnia, which has me only just going to bed at what most people consider unholy hours, and dealing with my pre-sleep routine (making sure my hormones, inhaler, phone, a drink and whichever book I'm currently reading are all nearby) is pretty noisy, and since I take my hormones at specific times regardless of when I finally managed to sleep, my phone alarm often has to wake me up, which would also wake up a room/bedmate.

That and I move around a lot (which annoys even my cat, he'll often stalk off to sulk on the windowsill till I've settled down before coming back to poke my face with his nose to see if I react before curling up on my arm) and I breathe pretty loudly (asthma). And end up in weird, awkward positions with the blanket and dakimakura.

So it'd be a pain to share a room with me, let alone a bed, and I'm much happier having my own of both anyway.

Those are good reasons to sleep alone.  I'd handle that--but mostly because I also go to bed at random times and I move around a lot (my dog also gets annoyed by it--she huffs whenever I roll around).   I can be a pretty heavy sleeper and I talk a lot in my sleep, so I doubt anyone would want to share a room with me let alone a bed.

4-5 Pillows, Sister. Yeah, There's probably more mass in pillows on the bed than my body takes up @_@

S'only because I have a hip injury so I needs lots of padding...I guess I'll be inconvenient if I ever find a partner to be with >_>

[jmaxley]

I don't sleep alone.  My cat sleeps on my stomach.  It's her favorite sleeping spot.  Half the time when I wake up in the morning, she's right there.

I have a total of six pillows on my bed.

I have two pillows and a body pillow with another body pillow on top of it. I'm always stopped up so I can't sleep flat. And then I have two pillows to "cuddle" with.

[Al James]

On the shifts where our sleep patterns don't merge I  always end up hugging my wife's pillow. Now its got to the stage tho where if i dont have something behind me and in front i cant sleep. Luckily its so cold at the minute that the cat has taken to snuggling in behind me- once he's stopped licking me and poddling

Should I dare ask? What a man and a pussy get up to in bed should after all be kept in the bedroom.

Lol. i meant that funny thing cats do where they seem to think its ok to stick their claws in you while they knead you like a piece of dough. it has to be ok cos theyre purring at you while they do it

[MillieB]

I had to stay with a friend when stuff was being done to my house and she used to put 3 stuffed Moose's in my bed (toy ones, not actual stuffed animals you understand!) I got into the habit of cuddling up to one of them. I kind of miss it and would attempt to steal him if I wasn't sure that she'd kick my ass all over the place!!

[rexgsd]

Well my mate lives 6 states over =( but i cuddle a husky plushie cause it's like the plushie version of him that i can hug and cuddle when i sleep or feel sad ^ ^
(we're furries, and he's a husky, thats why it reminds me of him, heh)

[Lacey Lynne]

Well, from another thread asking what we slept in, I answered nothing at all, of course.  I cuddle with ...  (Worth watching the whole vid):


The imagination is just as vid now as when I was in my teens and twenties, and I want this just as much now as I did then, heck more so, truth be told.
