How do you get to sleep!?

[brendan]

What things do you do to your pillows or bed in order to get a good nights rest...share your stories!

Examples:
*Flipping your pillows to get to the cold side
*Hand/arm under your pillow
*Fear of feet out from under covers
*Fear of limbs off the bed
*Sleeping backwards
*Building pillow and blanket forts
*One leg out from under the covers
*Not being able to sleep with or without sox
*Pillow folding
*pillow between the legs
*closet door or bedroom door opened or closed
*drooling
****And much much more...

I lie on my side and sometimes I need to put a pillow between my knees because I don't like the feeling of my knees touching because they're rather bony. I also need to sleep on a very thin pillow (or sometimes without a pillow) and I prefer complete silence and darkness and definitely closed doors. I find it's also better for me to have a shower before going to bed because otherwise as soon as I lay down all I do is think and I can't get to sleep (so I think in the shower instead). When I'm asleep my mouth needs to be slightly open and I can't be cold (which is why I sleep on a single bed with a double sized doona). I think that's all.

Hmmmm.....
I nearly always sleep on my side with my hand between my 2 pillows.
I find it extremely difficult to sleep if my bedroom door is shut but can't sleep if my wardrobe doors are open.
I also tend to swap which side I'm lying on several times before I even fall asleep (probably due to the fact it normally takes me quite a while to actually fall asleep after going to bed).

I have to have my feet poking out from under the covers when I sleep.  It just feels better that way - I can't sleep with my feet under the doona

I go to sleep faster if it's completely quiet and dark.  Like Eriny I need a really flat pillow or my neck feels kinda sore in the morning.  When I'm asleep I tend to toss and turn alot so I usually wake up in a totally different position to the one I feel asleep in.  Also have had reports of kicking around when I'm asleep, which pissed my cousin off when she had to share a bed with me when we went on a family holiday!

    I've got a blanket/cuddle cloth I've had since....god....I was 7 or so If I'm staying somewhere else and forget to bring it it's much harder to get to sleep

any droolers!?

Yeah a little bit, but only when I'm just lying in bed musing.

WTF? I can't sleep if I do that.

1. Must be warm. Usually this is not a problem at all but when Melbourne weather goes from uber hot -> uber cold sometimes I need to go get gloves/socks out. xD
2. Must not be too hot. This usually comes from when I close the door for some reason (eg lights on when going to sleep - normally I leave it open so cats can come in and out) and I wake up in the morning at like 5 and then thats it.
3. Must be sleeping on the side which makes me face the door/way to get out. I have discovered that it is not simply 'I sleep on my right side' because when I've been away on school camps etc I've noticed that I *never* face the wall unless I'm ridiculously tired in which case it doesnt seem to matter, but that doesnt happen too often.

I also somehow manage to turn new pillows into major flattened wrecks within a week. I much prefer new pillow high-ness but I've gotten used to icky flatness because I squish them all xD

LOL. I dare not to reveal my methods to get a good nights rest.

I NEED a cold pillow. I struggle to sleep if it isn't. I keep rotating & flipping pillows to ensure it is cold. Lol.

Lol, are you insinuating what I think you're insinuating?
