Well, i do. I have a habit of needed something around my arms when i sleep. and so, if i don't have my bolster nearby, i'd grab onto a pillow. But i have some friends who sleep as if they are in a coffin. So straight and stiff with arms folded in front of their chest. What about you?

I sleep with two pillows under my head, and two on each side. I sleep on my side (both) and hug the pillows.

Yessss! I need something to hug when I sleep. I usually hold on to a pillow, bolster or teddy bear. It must be for comfort and now it has become almost a habit. I also tend to be a neat sleeper and not a messy one like my brother. My dad is the coffin type, he sleeps really straight and stiff but not arms folded on their chest. Have a nice day!

Yes!I need a pillow to hug around during sleep.And I have watched some people as you have stated who can sleep just like that.But I can't go like that.Some people even maintain the same pose throughout their sleep.I need a pillow and often turn around sides while sleeping.Cheers!

I used to love hugging a stuffed animal while I was sleeping. However, now I don't sleep with anything. I don't particularly sleep like I'm in a coffin though lol!

I do hug another pillow when I sleep. Straight and stiff with arms folded in front of chest ?? I could never be able to fall sleep like that even if I try....I have a habit of turning to the left when I sleep. I fall asleep faster on the left while hugging my other pillow. I have 3 pillows altogether. One on my head, one I hug and another on my leg.

Hi Regal, I usually hug my bolster. If there is no bolster like in hotels, then I will make do with the pillow.

I find I sleep better when sleeping alone if I have a body pillow which is funny because when I sleep next to my honey we each sleep on our sides with our backs to each other most of the time. I can't sleep on my back unless I am on an angle like if propped up on pillows or I start having respiratory issues.

I need something really soft, like a pillow, or even the blanket bunched up in order to sleep the best. But for some reason, as much as I love to cuddle with my husband, I find it very hard to sleep holding on to him. I almost feel like I'm sufficating, or can't get into a comfortable position.
