How do you sleep?
« on: October 05, 2009, 05:58:52 am »
I saw this poll on Facebook the other day and for the first time I realized that most of my life I have always put one leg under the sheet and one leg over the sheet, when I  get into bed. It was something I did unconciously, and never had any idea that a lot of other people do the same thing.

Of course this is usually a summer thing on a warm night, when blankets are not required.

It would be interesting to hear your answers and why we do one or the other.

I always sleep with both legs under, sheets or blankets pulled all the way up to my chin.

I voted "Other" because it all depends on the season for me. In winter I have both legs (and the rest of me) completely under the sheet and doona (duvet). On those really hot, sticky, February nights, I can't stand any covering on me at all, not even a sheet. I've noticed that sometimes in the in-between seasons, when it's neither hot nor cold, I often push the doona down so it's just covering my lower legs and feet. The position of my doona appears to change throughout the night, which I seem to do while I'm asleep.

I voted 'other'.  I sleep with both legs under the sheets - unless I get too hot, at which time I slide one leg outside the sheet so as to let off excess heat.  Then I cool down, get more comfortable, stick my leg back under the sheet and go to sleep.

Both legs under with socks on my feet. Long pj pants, sweatshirt--sometimes with a t-shirt under that in the winter. With a cat and a dog cuddled wherever they'd like.  ;D  Summer--Same except t-shirt instead of sweatshirt. I might start off with no cover, but I wake up with cover.

I keep both feet covered but not my legs AND I hate to throw pillows out.
I have 6 of them at any one time.

I like lots and lots of pillows on my bed too! The cat always has an entire pillow to himself. He lays perched up on it like a little prince. :)

I sleep on my side. Generally I like to cover up when I go to sleep, but normally at some point during the night I will wake up and find the covers completely off and I'm freezing. So I pull them back up over me again. I can't imagine why I throw the covers off but apparently I do, unless the dog is somehow doing it - which is quite possible now that I think about it. :-\

I voted "other." I sleep under covers, naked, and snuggled up close to my bedmate.

Not very well, lately.  :(
