Published on December 3, 2004 By mignuna In Philosophy

This week, we're going to chat about that most important of locations, the bed ! ... and we're not even going to be rude doing it !. Are you ready ? ... okay then, let's go to bed !

1/ What do you wear to bed ?

2/ Do you snore, sleepwalk, talk, or do anything else ‘odd’ in your sleep ?

3/ Do you prefer sheets and blankets or a quilt/comforter ?

4/ Do you have a ‘side’ of the bed or a favourite sleeping position ?

5/ What else do you do in your bed besides sleep ? (yes, yes, I know that sounds dirty, but I mean stuff like reading, you naughty, naughty people !)

1/ What do you wear to bed ? Nekkid time.

2/ Do you snore, sleepwalk, talk, or do anything else ‘odd’ in your sleep ? It takes me awhile to get to sleep, so I do a lot of repositioning. I don't snore, but my wifey does

3/ Do you prefer sheets and blankets or a quilt/comforter ? Sheets and blankets

4/ Do you have a ‘side’ of the bed or a favourite sleeping position ? Not really, I'm married though... so I have a side I always sleep on, but it's because it's my favorite or anything

5/ What else do you do in your bed besides sleep ?
-One of two things happens.
-#1 (best option of course) my wife and I spend some time doing that stuff that we're not talking about here, and then I can sleep like the dead. I love that us guys have those chemicals released when we're finished that make us sleepy. I take FULL advantage of that feeling, and I'm dead to world as soon as "we're done".
-#2 If my wife and I end up not taking care of our marital duties, I normally end up staying up late because I can't stop thinking of random crap. A lot of time I start thinking about different ways of doing something I did at work (I'm a programmer), and sometimes I'll come up with some really great ideas. I ended up putting a tape recorder next to the bed so that I could record these ideas I have. If I don't write it down, or record it, I can never remember them the next day.

I feel that I should add that both Ann and I are blanket-stealers to a certain extent, so having three blankets on the bed is very important; we can each steal one and still keep warm all night. Of course the quilted blanket (which my mom made for me, it's really nice) that goes on top is huge, so it's very hard to steal completely, but I often manage to end up with a foot or a shin sticking out from under it. I've also been known to wake up with the blankets heaped up on my chest, with the rest of my body (from the abdomen down) completely exposed. That doesn't happen much at all lately, though. (I think it's become physically impossible, with a bed-mate.)

1/ What do you wear to bed ? A singlet top and boxers or a chamisole -- I can not sleep naked - I sleep really badly if I try. And I can't sleep in t-shirts and things that "strangle" me and I can't sleep with pants on because they ride up my legs and annoy me

2/ Do you snore, sleepwalk, talk, or do anything else ‘odd’ in your sleep ? I've been told I snore sometimes -- mostly if I've had a really late night and my nose blocks up. I've woken myself up talking once but I don't think I do it regularly just if I'm having a vivid dream.

3/ Do you prefer sheets and blankets or a quilt/comforter ? Doona, sheets doona and blanket in winter, just doona in summer - I can't sleep without my doona

4/ Do you have a ‘side’ of the bed or a favourite sleeping position ? I sleep either side now - I was on the left and then Nick wanted to swap so I did - last week he wanted to swap back so we did the only thing I can't do is sleep upside down. I can't spoon or be touched in anyway - which makes Nick feel unloved and cut but I just can't - I can cuddle before I go to sleep but I have to roll over onto my tummy when I go to sleep

5/ What else do you do in your bed besides sleep ? (yes, yes, I know that sounds dirty, but I mean stuff like reading, you naughty, naughty people !) If there's something good on we'll move the tv into the bedroom and watch TV, we've played scrabble, trivial pursuit and cards, we stay up and talk, on hot days/nights we turn on the Air Con and don't leave - eat, sleep, everything --- last Summer Elana slept in there too
And we do crosswords together from my Womens Weekly mag.

1/ What do you wear to bed ?

Nothing at all. Unless I'm really drunk and forget to take off my clothes.

2/ Do you snore, sleepwalk, talk, or do anything else ‘odd’ in your sleep ?

I've been told that I talk quite a bit.

3/ Do you prefer sheets and blankets or a quilt/comforter ?

One cotton fitted sheet and one duvet.

4/ Do you have a ‘side’ of the bed or a favourite sleeping position ?

I start off on my stomach, and end up on my side.

5/ What else do you do in your bed besides sleep ? (yes, yes, I know that sounds dirty, but I mean stuff like reading, you naughty, naughty people !)

I need to have a fan on, even if the room is freezing. I think the sound of the fan is what puts me to sleep. I need a nightlight now. Ever since Kole started sleeping with me, we've had one. Now that she doesn't, I still seem to need one. Complete darkness is scary. And, I have to read in order to get to sleep. Kole and I always have to playfight before turning in.

1) boxers.

2) I talk. But its more mumbling than talking. My roomate last year did too, so I think we talked to each other in our sleep.

3) one regular comforter in the summer, a regular and a down in the winter

4) almost always on my stomach.

5) my bed is almost queen sized. Being in college, my room is barely larger, so my room is basically a bed and a desk. so i do everything in my bed. get dressed, read, listen to music, watch tv and movies, sit at my computer, eat, and do my homework.
