    Between sleepovers as a kid, work, holidays and other reasons, how many beds have you slept in? I think my number is around 220 but I have probably omitted a few. What is your number?

    Jaysus I couldn't tell you. Hundreds of them! Sleepovers when I was a child, then college, moving apartments, holidays, men, nights away. How were you even able to count yours OP?

    It was a rough guess. Just added up where I had worked, holidays, women

    The worst ones were at house parties when the floor was your mattress and your arm was your pillow

    To be fair I was excluding the floor/sofa/bath situations from mine :pac:

    Sleeping in a car is no fun either.I also slept on a park bench once with some cardboard for a pillow on a cold February night. I had forgotten where my house was. Longest night I ever spent.

    Not got a clue, simply because I'm not pathetic enough to count beds I've slept in!

    Ive slept in 15 different beds since August. No way could I even estimate how many in my life time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 32,688 ✭✭✭✭ytpe2r5bxkn0c1


    Easily thousands.

    Since August I've only slept in three including my own. Getting quiet in my old age :p

    I have a friend who has fallen asleep sitting up at a kitchen table at a house party! He'd fall asleep anywhere and wake up completely refreshed!

    I once fell asleep in an Anti-Aircraft gun. While it was running.

    I'd be in the thousands as well. 15 years and counting of intense work travel adds up. Hmm, makes you think.

    This month alone I've slept in 12 different beds not counting my own.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,093 ✭✭✭gitzy16v


    I've slept in the same bed in 100's of different places

    I'll never forget the time I stayed over in my grannys house and she stayed in the spare room with me because I was feeling homesick. She fell asleep whilst upright reading a book. I thought that she was dead for about half an hour until i got the guts to wake her! Scared the **** out of me! :pac:

    I'd need to be locked up for 20 years in solitary confinement to be bothered trying to calculate that.

    Well it's only 1 extra on the total for 2036.

    Even to attempt to break it down is giving me a headache.

    Between all the houses my parents have lived in, both when together and separate, probably about 10 different beds/rooms.

    Aunts/Uncles have had on average 2 or 3 different houses each, that's at least another 20-30.

    4 different houses between 2 sets of grandparents. Not always same room each time.

    Have lived in 7 different houses on my own/house shares, more than one room in two of them.

    Sleep overs as a kid, field trips at school, family holidays abroad in apartments, and B&Bs around the UK and Ireland, holidays with mates and family as an adult, weekends away with mates, girl friends, few different sofas after a night out, and of course the odd one night stand, all add up to more than I could even work out.

    Finally about 5 over nights in hospital.

    The headache is getting worse so will stop there.

    Jeez, had forgotten about hospital beds. That brings me up to 221
