How do you sleep at night?

r/

This is not actually the thing you might think it is. Guys, how do you sleep?

How many pillows do you use? How many blankets? What position? Do you have a nightcap or anything? If you have a partner or pets that share the bed, do you have “your spot” or is it basically whoever gets in first gets in?

I’m just curious. My wife is big on pillows and blankets, and yet the dogs wind up taking them all each night. So guys, what do you do?

    Is this a Mattress Firm ad?

    On my side. One between the knees. One for my arms. And one for my head.

    If I had a woman she would have her own set of pillows that I don’t use.

    I have worn a divot into my bed that makes it difficult to sleep at times, causing me to hyper extend my back.

    Pillow! That’s what I forgot to buy this morning.

    I toss my blind dog on the bed, and try to not get growled at or bit. Then, I watch youtube videos on my laptop til I fall asleep.

    Side, cbg, pain meds, l-theanine, calcium, magnesium and sometimes Benadryl. ADHD, PTSD and insomnia combination sucks.

    2 on the bed (4 if I’m expecting company) one of them is a cervical neck pillow.

    One sheet, one blanket. Light blanket if it’s warm, heavy if it’s cold. Fan on.

    I can’t get a good nights sleep unless I sleep alone. So relieved I’m not sharing a queen bed with my ex and her 2 dogs anymore.

    Side sleeper, bamboo pillow, body pillow with one knee over it….naked, just a sheet but only enough to cover my ass and legs

    2 pillows, duvet half on me, AC cranked

    I sleep alone. One pillow. I like covering up with a light blanket unless it’s cold, which is rare in SoCal lol. I used to sleep on my back but lately I’ve been falling asleep while on my stomach

    I need 2 pillows, i need to be on the right side in case i get acid reflux which makes it subside if i lay on my left side, which means i can face my woman if so, and no dogs and cats allowed in bed. If there’s one thing i hate is poor sleep and I’m not about to let no damn animals disturb my sleep even though i love them. Dogs sleep in their cage or bed and cats locked outside in the livingroom because they always seem to wanna play around at night and disturb the hell out of me/us, haha.

    I start out laying on my side. I lay on one pillow length wise that sits on top of another horizontal pillow. Arms crossed, hands holding my shoulders.

    At some point during the night, I end up laying on my stomach and hugging the top pillow while also laying my head on it.

    Our two dogs lay at the end of the bed. One by my feet, the other by my wife’s feet. Two of our cats will visit during the night. Sometimes they stay. Sometimes they leave. The other cat always sleeps curled up next to my wife.

    If you’re facing the bed, I sleep on the right, my wife sleeps on the left. Even when we travel, we just naturally choose the same sides of the bed. It’d feel weird now to sleep on the left side of a bed.

    I am a fit (55M), my (49F) wife is smoking hot. Our last, out of 2 kids went to college this last fall and we both sleep naked every night now! It’s fucking awesome!

    2 pillows, sheet and blanket, boxer briefs. Had a spot but am now separated after 21 years so I’m exploring the entire area of a new bed. Also, no ear plugs anymore!

    I have three duvet’s and about 5-6 pillows.
    One duvet is kinda rolled/crumpled/folded on each side, and I sleep under the third duvet in the tunnel in the middle.
    I sleep on my side, with a duvet wrapped between my legs/knees or under an arm.
    I use between 2-3 pillows under my head, with other pillows on the duvet’s, or used to prop up a hand/wrist when it sticks out from under my head.
    Basically I have a burrow.

    I sleep in my underwear, with a top sheet and a blanket, on my side, next to my wife, with the ceiling fan on.

    Vampire position but face down, heavy blanket, listening to some YouTube video probably.

    One pillow for my head, one pillow between my knees. I tend to sleep on my side, facing north.

    Before tucking myself in, I pray.

    Depends, we have our spots we each have our own comforter to stop late night blanket stealing, if it’s hot I’ll sleep on the couch cause it gets hot in the bedroom and my wife hates air conditioning so we can both sleep comfortably we sleep separately she doesn’t even like a fan going at night

    I sleep alone, naked, 3 pillows, a flat sheet and comforter. I use a CPAP machine.

    Two pillows that support my head and the third remains beside me. Kinda like a cpap hose support. During the summer, just the flat sheet or no flat sheet.
    During the winter, flat sheet and comforter.

    I start off sleeping in my back, but somewhere in the night I switch to sleeping on my side.

    If I have sleepover company, the definitely the flat sheet unless she wants more covers. I have back up pillows for my guest which can bring the pillow array up to 7 pillows. My sleeping attire won’t change unless she requests it. I have one pair of silk boxers to accommodate her request.

    I lay on my stomach with one hand up, one hand down, one knee up, and one knee down. Head is always tilted to the left.

    A very expensive, firm pillow that was included in my mattress purchase deal, down comforter, on my right side or back. Most times I’m holding my wife or some article of clothing she’s worn to bed.

    I fold a body pillow in half and stick it in a large pillow case, so it is more like 2 pillows. A sheet and blanket/comforter. Mostly on my back to fall asleep but I usually wake up on my side. My wife and I sleep separately due to my work schedule and both of us snoring. Snoring doesn’t seem to bother the dog though. She takes turns sleeping with both of us. She has her favorite spots by my side or my feet. The way my wife talks about the dog pushing her out of the bed you’d think she was a mastiff instead of a 60 lbs. mutt.

    On my right side, in my briefs

  29. IcametoMOG Avatar

    Naked, I pack on like 6 or 7 blankets and got my room cold, also a fuck ton of cozy pillows

  30. definitely_not_marti Avatar

    I have this hard pillow, then I rotate it on the short end and that kinda and use that to support my neck… then I sleep on my side.

    For me it’s whatever side faces the door is my side…

    My dog doesn’t sleep in the room, we have carpet and I don’t let her on carpet. Also, she loves her kennel and she has a lot of blankets in there for her.

    If I’m in my bed I use one large pillow with a satin pillowcase, and hold another, while sleeping on my side, under a weighted blanket, in boxer briefs, in a cool, almost completely dark room.

  32. jairngo Avatar

    1 pillow, blankets when is hot like summer if not just no blankets.

    I sleep face down

    That’s about it… I don’t care much about it since I wouldn’t notice anything during the time I’m sleeping.

    I slam a rail of ice then sprint 46.5 laps around mine and my neighbors house before drop kicking the local raccoon, then pass out on our front lawn in my boxers. Best 9 minutes of sleep I ever got.

    Single pillow. Grounded sheets. Two loud air purifiers. Bedjet on 30%. Eye mask. Always fall asleep on my back listening to ASMR. After an hour or two I ditch the headphones and move to my side. One pretty light cooling blanket. Naked. Doggo is almost always on the bed.

  35. Ouija429 Avatar

    I’m either sleeping on the ground with nothing and no issues or I make a nest like structure out of pillows and blankets. No in between.

    I booted the dog from the bed early on, after he declared my body warmth his favorite place.
    Every time I moved an inch to get space, he’d close the gap. 

    I sit in the living room for 15 minutes in the dark before heading into the bedroom. 
    Wife asks me if I locked the door every single night because I forgot once 15 years ago (nothing happened, but she didn’t like finding it open the next day).
    Fan on.
    My side is the window side for airflow purposes. 
    Cold as wife will tolerate. 
    Got a pillow cube made for side sleepers a few years ago… game changer!
    I start with a sheet, and search for the comforter at some point in the middle of the night. 

    Wife wraps herself like a burrito and has 342 pillows.
    It’s like her own fortress over there.

    I used to sleep on my side with no issues. Usually a pillow between my legs.

    For the past year though, I’ve lived with my gf and our mattress was bought new. I sleep on my side but always end up on my back. Was waking up with a sore waist/ tailbone for a bit. Put a pillow under my legs and bought a firmer pillow. Sleep much better now

    In the middle of winter, I wear a pair of pajama pants, t-shirt, and a hoodie. I like wearing the hood to fall asleep. We have a top sheet, and a heavy blanket. Two pillows.

    King size bed, one 100lb lab, a cat and and ankle biter dog all on my side of the bed. Fan on in summer. A/C set @ 68° overnight. My pillow, one sheet and comforter. Wife on the other side zip code.. Pretty comfy but I’d sleep thru a train wreck too.. Been told I snore pretty bad.. I wouldn’t know

  41. Nondescript_585_Guy Avatar

    One pillow. Bedsheet, thermal blanket, bedspread. Down comforter in the winter. Usually in a t-shirt and boxer briefs. Usually with an eye mask. On my back or sometimes my side.

  42. SimplySeano Avatar
