Falling asleep nicely

[klassiekerrally]

Err... Maybe this sounds a bit strange...

When I go to sleep I lie on my right side and like to cover my left ear with the blanket.
Feels very comfortable and somehow 'safe'.

Am I the only one with strange 'falling-asleep-behavior'?

I think you might be.

Try using a 'continental quilt' instead of a blanket it might help, especially seeing as you're from the continent.

Half my family are Dutch and one thing I notice when staying with them is how hard all the beds are - like sleeping on a plank of wood. Perhaps a softer bed will help you feel safe.

Im exactly the same, can't sleep in any position except on my left side.

Ah, I actually have a 'continental quilt' (we call it 'dekbed' which is actually a very strange word).
I just didn't know it was called that way...

And our mattresses are indeed rather firm. Next bed will be a waterbed.

its something to do with the way you slept as a baby. I sleep on my front, head on right side with the duvet pulled up as far as it can go without getting my toes cold.

Sounds like you want a womb with a view.

What's a womb?

no position feels comfortable to me I usually toss and turn every 5 mins until eventually I fall asleep. Unless I'm really tired in which case the first position I fall into, normally head facing up, I find this the most restful sleeping position anyway, other positions and the quality of sleep isn't a good.

Do you pull your knees up to your chest aswell?chances are this is your feotal(sp)position and you probaby had a hand or arm up covering your ear when you were in the womb.

Where phoetus's (sp?) (little unborn babies) are in the mother till they are born.



sorry, I didn't mean that to sound patronising, just trying to explain it...

Thanks!
Actually I pull up my knees a little, so could very well be that it has something to do with my position in the womb...

I can't sleep with anything on me.
Mrs can't sleep without a blanket on her, even at the height of summer.

Wierd combo huh ?

Best thing I've done to get a good nights sleep is get a Tempur pillow.

Digressing, but the mention of "Ear", if I tickle the inside of my cats left ear, she starts to lick her left paw, and wash her face. If I tickle her right one, she licks her right paw and washes her face.................and no I do not want to try tickling her anywhere else thank you......

Sleep wise I have slept on my left side for as long as I can remember.....

I need my 'continental quilt' to be heavy. I can't get comfortable under just a light blanket or so...

[Mrs Fish]

I sleep on my right side, with the duvet pulled up right round my ears.

[mxdi]

I sleep on my front with face to one side with a pillow over my head

Well, if it works, why not...

[vixpy1]

I'll sleep in any position.. as long as she has a nice pair to lay my head on!

[MrsVodkaKid]

I usually sleep on my right side curled up in a ball... unless vodkakid is snoring, and then I don't sleep, just get tired and grumpy and have plenty of time to plot ways to kill him...mmmwwwwwwwoaaahahahahaha!!
