Sleeping positions

GuessWhoEh · 22-09-2015 8:23pm #1

I passed out in the "normal" sleeping position last night. As soon as my head hit the pillow at 11pm, I was out like a light.

A good 7 hours later, I'm half awake, at the other end of the bed with two pillows on the floor and blanket half off me.

What is gods name do I be doing in my sleep? I don't think I had any dreams. That I know of.

Anyone else ever had this happen to them?

Moving this to After Hours as I don't think it's a PI

Everyone, except the disabled, moves in their sleep. Otherwise you'd get pressure sores.

Everyone dreams several times a night. You only remember the one you woke up from.

It absolutely freaked the ****e out of me when I woke up. Hadn't a clue where I was

I often find my pillows on the floor in the morning... I never remember my dreams either..:)

I often remember several dreams after waking.

As to sleeping positions I sleep on my face and have taken to not using a pillow and allowing my feet over the end of the bed but covered by the blanket still. It's quite comfortable sometimes.

I sleep in my underwear and have done since i was a teenager. I'm in my 30s.

When i was about 25, i woke up without any underwear on. I don't know how it happened. I wasn't drunk. I wasn't with anyone. I was in my own bed.

From my teenage years to now, my underwear has stayed on every single night except that one night.

See?!?!? It's an absolute mind-f**k when something unexpected happens in your sleep. Even asked my mam if she heard me walking about or anything. She heard nothing.

On my face. And if you touch me I'll hurt you, I hate huggy sleepers.

Same. I need personal space when sleeping. Anyone tries to hug me and I flip, literally

Lol I went to bed one night in bed and woke up the next morning on the floor wrapped in my duvet like a swiss roll beside the bed.

Fleawuss · 22-09-2015 9:51pm

3 pillows. Super king size bed. No pillows on floor. Love to fall asleep on my back. Like falling without fear.

ArnoldJRimmer · 22-09-2015 10:14pm

Maybe it was all those years living in sh!tty flats and bedsits with only a single bed, but I barely move at all during the night. Have a huge bed now, but always wake up lying on either my right side or the left in pretty much the same position on the bed

Interesting fact: In an a average lifetime a sleeping person will unknowingly swallow approximately 5 small song-birds.

Lux23 · 22-09-2015 10:27pm

I watched Copland last night and I had a dream afterwards that I was a tough, sweary cop. My boyfriend woke me up because I was spitting and telling him to get off my beat. You do weird things when you're asleep.

Haha I love it

kneemos · 22-09-2015 10:36pm

I was tossing and turning having trouble sleeping one night and when I nodded off I started dreaming that I was awake tossing and turning trying to sleep.
Genuinely freaky.

Medusa22 · 22-09-2015 10:44pm

I sleep on my belly, one pillow and don't touch me when I'm sleeping please, it annoys me, I'm not the cuddling type when I want to sleep. I have a lung condition so I can't sleep on my back or I will just cough for the whole night so I always sleep on my belly.

The Backwards Man · 22-09-2015 10:48pm

I had a dream that I was stuck in a bath one night after a heavy session of boozing.

Guess where I woke up?

Bristol.

jamesbere · 22-09-2015 10:48pm

I went to sleep one night in my jocks, woke up with my t shirt on and one sock. Must of decided during the night to get dressed.

There's a time and a place where you'd love to be a fly on the wall, this is one time.

I've been waking up with very long scratches on me since I was a kid. They are huge. Like I've Freddy Krueger was at me. I've tired to make such deep long scratch marks myself with my finger nails myself, just to see if it's me, but no chance, these are deep. I'd wake up if anyone tried to scratch me anyway, as I'm a light sleeper. Not one for conspiracies, but I have to admit that my thoughts would be leaning towards the possibility that I have been regularly abducted by aliens over the years and that they've been doing pain threshold experiments on me as I sleep. Can't think of any other possibility to be honest.

Other than that though. I sleep and dream very well. Especially if I have fallen asleep watching hardcore pornography.

My light is staying on for the night after reading that

Harry Palmr · 22-09-2015 11:42pm

I end up sleeping on my right side, I've tried to switch to the left just to see if I can stay facing the other way but nope, something just feels wrong and I can't fall asleep.

As for ending up elsewhere in the bed/room/house nope never really happened to me. Though I did go through a phase in my teens of waking like I was sat on a live wire, sitting bolt upright and not moving a muscle for a minute or two getting my bearings.

Ahh, sure maybe it's nothing sinister, and just that I'm allergic to the millions of dust mites that live in most mattresses.

I woke up the other night sure that I was sleeping the wrong way around it the bed. I got really panicked about my head being where my feet should be that I woke my boyfriend to ask what the story was. He was not amused!

Turtyturd · 23-09-2015 12:02am

Sleep on my stomach with the right side of my face on the pillow, only way I can get asleep although I wake up in all different positions.

Also survived dying in my sleep last week, although I woke up with my heart almost pounding out of my chest and thinking I was going to have an actual heart attack.

NintendoGirl · 23-09-2015 12:24am

I sometimes go to sleep with my socks on, and the odd time have woken up in the morning with them both on the floor, with no recollection of taking them off.

Paramite Pie · 23-09-2015 12:48am

I once woke up screaming, sitting up in my bed but with no memory of the dream preceding it. I clasped my hands over my mouth mid scream -- waiting to see if I had woken anyone in the next room.

Not being able to remember what scared me made me laugh, a lot, even though my heart was still pounding. Weird feeling of terror but no recollection of what it was.

Try waking up on your feet. I once had a dream that I was lying in bed and an earthquake struck, the floor beneath started to crack and give way. I jumped out of bed -- jumping around over the cracks as the floor was caving into a deep abyss. (i couldn't quite see the cracks just the normal but i knew they were there??

)

I ran for the lightswitch and turned it on. The light blinded me and I instantly woke up, standing by the lightswitch with my heart beating rapidly. I was very confused and it took a few minutes to realise I had been dreaming/sleepwalking.
Turning on the light had woken me up, but not the prancing around.:pac:

I went back to bed still half delirious and fearing that the floor was going to give way.

Niemoj · 23-09-2015 2:09am

I don't mind having a cuddle before bed but when I want to sleep do not touch me or I will become the Antichrist incarnate!:pac:

When I first lived on my own I went to bed in my T-shirt + jocks (as I usually do), woke up totally naked with the clothes just outside the threshold of the room!

It had me bemused but needless to say I locked the door every night afterwards.:D

Sam Kade · 23-09-2015 8:45am

When I was around 8 or 9 I woke up one morning and when I lifted my head I hit it off something, it was the bed I must have fell out of the bed and rolled under it while asleep.

Gwynplaine · 23-09-2015 10:14am

I wake up laughing in my sleep about once a week. Herself tries to record, and finds it quite strange. I could be laughing for a minute or more before I wake up.
Does this happen to anyone else?
