Do you feel that is difficult for you to fall asleep when you in a strange bed or a new bed you never sleep in?It is difficult for me.I will feel no sense of security in a strange bed. Sometimes only the first night i cann't feel well as after the first night i am famillar with the bed. What about you?Can you get a good night in a strange bed?

I cannot really sleep well in a strange bed or a new bed. I'm so used to my own bed, if I got to get a new bed I will have to take time to get used to it and sleep well.

Ya! there is once when I get out of town for a week. I couldn't get to sleep for the first few nights and when I was about to get use to it. It's time for me to go home. http://www.mylot.com/images/emotes/lol.gif

no i can sleep fine in any bed. If I'm tired, then it doesn't matter where i am at. But waking up is different. I'm always confused when i wake up. Like where am i? How did i get here? and i freak out a bit.

I most certainly cannot. That's one thing I don't like about travel I have to be utterly exhausted for me to sleep in a bed or place that is not home. But you are right on day 2-3+ you feel a bit more relaxed with your surroundings and you are probably pretty pooped out from not getting a decent sleep the night before.

This question is really easy to answer. I am really feel strange by sleeping in a strange bed. At the best I feel in my own bed at home.

I feel so difficult to fall asleep in strange bed. I love and feel comfortable with my own bed. I need 3 to 5 days to get familiar with new bed then i can get goodnight. It is so annoying when i have to sleep at my relative's home. I can't sleep at all. I don't really familiar with the environment and feel strange.

Any kind of bed you give it to me , if u give bedsheet , i can sleep comfortably. My parents used to wonder how i could sleep , even if power fails. The bedsheet gives me a sense of covering and i get sleep automatically.

i don't find it difficult to fall asleep on a bed that's not mine but when i wake up i don't feel quite rested as when i sleep on my own bed. It's a different feeling when i sleep on my own bed. I feel secured and relaxed.

Hello yinmm. It does not matter to me whether it is a new or old or familiar bed to me. I can sleep in a strange bed if I feel tired and sleepy. But of course, I love my own bed best.

I get used to sleeping in different beds. I have this job before that requires me to travel frequently and I even experienced sleeping in different beds and in different type of accommodation (hotel beds, ship bunk and bus station couch) in a week. There were nights I woke up wondering where I was and have to accustom myself to the surroundings and think to remember my location. I enjoyed those trips and I can barely remember having hard time sleeping in strange beds.

I love new beds. I especially love different beds in hotels. The sheets are always so crisp and the pillows are so chilly. I find sleeping in the same bed every night a tad monotonous.

Just like you, I couldn't sleep in a stranger bed. Usually I would think something all-night. But the second night, I can sleep well.

Hmmm... Sleeping in strange or new Bed? well, i think its just a psychological effect for some people. For me yes i do feel strange/ a little bit difficult to sleep to a new bed but later on i used to get along with it. Maybe its just once personal preferences for instances you use to sleep on a more softer bed, fine, larger bed, etc...

As long as is clean, and comfortable I fall asleep as a rock. Maybe because since little I have travel so much I am in certain way trained to sleep where ever has the previous conditions mentioned.

It's weird sometimes that I can't sleep in anybody's house or bed. So sleeping to some others house is a problem for me because I can't sleep there. I think I love the comfort and the security of our house. I'm feel restless when we have a sleep over to my classmate one time to do our projects. They invite me to sleep there to there bed but I can't sleep or even close my eyes. I end up waiting for the sunrise the next day.
