Peeps,
Yesterday I slept over a friend's house. As we were getting settled into the bed, all cozy, it became quickly apparent that I have some problems when it comes to sleeping.
Problem #1 The Sheets
I don't know how everyone else does it, but I can not sleep with a top sheet. A bottom sheet to cover my mattress yes, but a top sheet drives me nuts. I just can't get comfortable with a top sheet, I fight it all night, and often times wake up with it choking me, around my neck. I can't quite remember when the war began between me and sheets, but I suspect it has something to do with my grandmother consistently covering me with the sheet when she thought I was 'cold' (I kicked the blankets off for a reason, and it wasn't because I was cold). So there I was with someone who tucks in the top blanket thus trapping my feet, leading me to problem number two.
Problem#2 My feet
When I first get into bed, and the blankets are all cold, I do this weird thing with my feet, where I rub them against one another, somewhat unconsciously, to warm them up because I have popsicle feet. My friend noticed this when my cold feet found her toasty ones. However, even though I warm them up, there is a really fine balance between warm and hot for my feet. So when they get hot I sort of poke them out of the blankets to cool, and then I retract them. Something I can not do with a top sheet that is tucked.
Problem #3 Pillows
I need a lot of pillows. I use one to put in between my knees to offset the balance of my hips, because let's be honest I've got childbearing hips (which is terrifying because anything related to human children terrifies me). If I don't I wake up with sore hips. I also use one to prop half of my upper body on, now I don't know where I got this habit, but I do know that not sleeping like that is disturbing to me, and it often takes me longer to sleeps. I also need very flat pillows or my neck gets all crinkled. And to top it all off I usually use two pillows to put my ears inbetween because they have industrial bar piercings through them. Basically I'm trying to say I'm a pillow whore.
Problem#4 Spooning
Last but not least, I've got this problem that anything in the bed with me, dogs, stuffed animals, pillows, boyfriend, other friends, blankets, all of it gets spooned...by me. I don't understand this but most anything in the bed with me gets spooned by me. I had to stop myself from rolling over and spooning my friend because of muscle memory from doing just that. It's pretty ridiculous.
So these are Ev's problems for sleeping right, a.k.a. I sleep like a crack addict. Sweet dreams.
