The princess and the pea!

I can not stand long things to sleep in, has to be short and if I am tossing and turning and my sleep wear gets twisted it drives me up the wall. I do not like crinkled sheets either. I do love soft sheets and ones that stay cool during the night, don't give me flannel sheets.

I had that problem sometimes and find I get up in the middle of the night and change into my shorts instead of pants. It's weird how sometimes the littlest thing can bother you. I do take about 10 minutes to arrange and get comfy but usually if I'm tired I'll fall right asleep. Other nights though, it seems like everything bugs me! Who knows, maybe I am a princess:-D

I don't have problems falling to sleep because I Must have 100% cotton sheets and I sleep in a man's white 100% cotton t-shirt.If it isn't cotton, I don't wear it or sleep on it.

I had trouble sleeping last night because I wore a pair of older sweatpants with the elastic at the ankle to bed last night. I was so cold and thought they would keep me warm. They kept riding up my legs and waking me. About drove me nuts. Then I decided to wear a long sleeved top with it that was a little too tight. Again thinking I'd be real warm....NOT. Nothing seemed to help so tonight I have looser pajamas on that are soft. Will see if that makes the difference. Also have wool socks on my feet as it's awfully cold out tonight and I can't seem to warm up. Not unusual.

I am a nightgown wearer and I have tried a couple of times to wear pajamas and I can not get to sleep wearing them. I don't know what it is about p.j.'s but I toss and turn and just can not get comfortable. Before I know it I got up to put my nightgown on and soon as I climbed back in bed I fell right off to sleep.

Oh, I am such a "princess" this way. My husband will tell you so. I don't like pjs that I get twisted up in or that are too loose or not soft or silky enough. My sheets can't be wrinkled and must be a high thread count, the pillow has to be just so, even my covers have to be a certain way. In some other discussion I said I was picky and I really was telling the truth.

Since I love to sleep I try to do get comfy quickly because I know it takes so long for me to get to sleep. The shorter loose-fitting cotton jammie bottoms and a cotton top work best for me but if the flannel sheets are in the dirty laundry, I will wear flannel jammies to sleep in, cept in the summer when it is au naturale!

yes,
my pillow does have to be just right - it has to be MY pillow too - which is very flimsy, I scrunch it up so that it fits at my neck - and I like to have no socks on my feet and my feet outside the covers so they can stretch - I also like to have a pillow between my knees if I am in bed - but I usually always sleep on the couch, sitting up now.

Many many things to say the least. I am very sensitive to anything bundling up somewhere and I just cant stop fidgeting. Have been like this since childhood. A knot in the socks inside school shoes, a twist in the bra-strap, a fold in the skirt when I am sitting, a fold in my night-dress…man sometimes I wish I could just roam naked! And the most embarrassing part is that more often than not, it happens in public and there is nothing I can do except squirm and turn uneasily.

I am so lucky. I could sleep on top of a big stone in my bed. The minute I roll over on my side, tuck my pillow in between my arms....I am gone. I don't wake up until my alarm goes off...I could sleep anyplace...as long as I have my pillow. I sleep through bad thunderstorms and with my TV on all night long and don't hear a thing. I have a weather radio that buzzes like an alarm in case there is a dangerous weather alert. I am lucky, I guess. When I sleep in a motel room, I must have two pillows...that is the only thing that I can think of that would keep me from falling asleep instantly. I
