1. Which side do you usually ~fall~ sleep on? Left, right, back, belly?
I tend to sleep on my right side, just feel more comfortable that way, however sometimes I can end up sleeping on my back at times, due to my crazy movements at night.
2. Which side is the most uncomfortable to sleep on? Left, right, back, belly?
My right, that's all I have to say about it.
3. Wake up with any aches or pains? If so, typically, where are they?
Nope not really, but If I accidentally hit my head into the wall at night, I might end up having a really bad headache, it's not something I do often, I think.
4. Cold pillow? Warm pillow? Do you like your pillows soft and fluffy, or firm? How many pillows do you sleep with?
I love cold pillows, If one side is feeling to warm I will actually turn it over to the colder side, I can't stand having a warm pillow, I also put my hands under my pillow for some odd reason, I think I just feel more safe with that. I also sleep with one-two pillows myself, sometimes I throw one pillow aside and just have one to use, and at other times I'll end up using two. I also am a lover for any soft and firm pillows which have to be at that exact thing, otherwise I might as well not end up using one.
5. How heavy are your blankets?
My blankets are somewhere between light and heavy, though I have an additional light blanket for the day if I'm cold or just feel like using it on a hot night.
6. Do you like it warm in the room? The window open? Cold?
I love it cold usually at all times, I sometimes can keep my fan on all through out the night without getting super cold, but if my dog happens to get cold then I have no option but to turn it off, I have to worry about how he feels in such a cold room. I can't stand super hot rooms, it gets me nauseated and I'd just want to get out of there.
7. What do you wear to bed? PJs? Or do you wear whatever you wore that day?
Just the usual light t-shirt and some pants, sometimes I can sleep in just my boxers but that's rare xD.
8. We won't judge, promise. Do you have stuffed animals laying on your bed that help you go to sleep?
Nope, I've never had them by my side really, even when I was young they always sat there in a toy bucket.
9. Can you sleep with a TV on?
Sometimes, especially when I can't get to bed, I have no choice but to leave it on, I eventually fall asleep with it on.
10. Are you a light sleeper, or heavy sleeper? Does it take a lot to wake you up? Or does the sound of a pin dropping onto the carpet (sliiiight exaggeration) wake you up?
It takes me a hour or so to get up, after someone has come to barge in and yell get up, luckily they don't bother to come back in after wards, I am a heavy sleeper myself I guess.
11. Is going to sleep an end to your day, or the beginning of a new one?
Basically it's the beginning to a new one, every day is the same always, nothing exciting there.

This is probably going to be a lengthy post now as I love my sleep being the lazy person I am. Aha.

My sleeping pattern is quite unpredictable for people surrounding me and myself which always can be a problem as I have school early or something is going on when I need to wake up early and can't. Also, I'm not an easy person to wake up unless you blare the daylight through the room by opening the curtains then, I complain and may end up throwing something at you this though is depending on how awake I am. But when I do sleep, I'm on my right side (just checking my hands L thing now...) which is also my writing hand side though, I don't think this makes a difference. My right hand side is the most comfortable, there is no real reason to why this side is more comfortable but, to me, it is. The most uncomfortable position for me to sleep on really, is any other side than my right side just because of being used to right though, left is better than on my back and belly.

If though, I fall asleep in an awkward position then I will have a pain usually in my neck area, but, this may happen in my back as well. Another thing that causes me pain as I arise in the morning would be if I've hit myself on the metal post of the bunk bed then I end up with a bruise by the middle of the next day; this tends to happen often too. But I'm not as clumsy in my sleep as I am awake, more often I take over the full bed and fling the blankets wherever as I tend to toss and turn in my sleep. If I had to share the bed with someone, they would probably get out and sleep one another bed or the floor with the ridiculous amount of time they wouldn't get the blanket to cover themselves. Unless they went to share a bed with my younger brother...

For sleeping it to me is a necessity to have a pillow that is large and fluffy at the back in a diagonal position then a few smaller pillows leaning against it which are not as fluffed up. When I being to sleep I start to drift off in a sat up position then slide down my pillows into a normal sleeping position, I'm not sure why I do this but it's comfy to myself. I believe I have three pillows in total on my bed, but I aren't sure and I can't be bothered to walk upstairs to check the amount of pillows I have. So, estimated guess it is! Those pillows I tend to like cold, if they are too warm I will swap it over to the other side which is, most of the time, colder than the other one. I'm not a person who likes the heat, I prefer the room, my blanket, and my pillows to be cold as in the room I'm in is usually quite warm.

Also, to keep myself cool I tend to wear a nighty but nothing revealing, it's more like an oversized t-shirt rather. It only cost me a few quid so I'm happy with it but, I may eventually move on to pyjama top and bottoms but this may take a while to get into the habit to. My nighty is the only skirt like thing I refuse to wear so if I do stop, it will be a complete stop for skirt wearing, something my mother would not be happy about. Usually as well, the window is open in summer as the night it roasting, I feel the breeze of the wind outside on my legs which relaxes me as I sleep, if I was in normal pyjamas this feeling I'd lose.

Having a bear beside your bed to me, isn't that embarrassing, in fact, I have couple even if they don't help my sleeping process. They for me are more like collectable from when I was a child except for my newly obtained Luigi, from the Mario Bros, this one I received of a friend who is on this website when we went to a theme park for a school trip in the summer this year. But mine are for memories in the past, I believe I still have my Pikachu one too which when I got it, was rare to find around my area. I do treasure my collection of bears beside me when I sleep even if I don't pay attention to the fellows. But the one I have to treasure the most is my Panda which I have had since I was what, six years old? Fluffy the Panda has grown up with me, I don't think I could part with it.

I've never slept with the television on, it wastes electricity when you do drift off and it would probably bother me as I would be too focused on it instead of my sleeping. But when I do sleep I tend to play my iPod, named iFred, to make myself drowsy then I will place it with my laptop and attempt to drift off into dream land which is pitch black as I don't remember my dreams, ever. Only every so often I do and that is extremely rare. There has been a few occasions in which I have drifted off with my laptop blaring music on and I have been on MSN talking to another person but have been to tired to say that I was sleeping and left the computer on for them to keep asking where I am. I do apologize to them if I do this, though.

The music won't wake me up either, I'm a heavy sleeper, if I needed to be woken up, I will need at least three alarms before I even think of waking up. I don't know how this would determine how heavy of a sleeper I am but I'd say I'm a pretty heavy one. The time when I go to sleep, I believe would be the end of the day even if I fall asleep at 03:00am it is still the end of the day, a new day to me is when I awaken the next day.

Told you it was gonna be big. ;P

1. Which side do you usually ~fall~ sleep on? Left, right, back, belly?
I don't have a specific side, it changes every night

2. Which side is the most uncomfortable to sleep on? Left, right, back, belly?
Probably my right side

3. Wake up with any aches or pains? If so, typically, where are they?
Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and my arm will be completely asleep... it's really annoying.

4. Cold pillow? Warm pillow? Do you like your pillows soft and fluffy, or firm? How many pillows do you sleep with?
My pillows are 63 degrees F... just kidding idk what they are. Fluffy, and two pillows.

5. How heavy are your blankets?
A thick comforter all year, and then an extra blanket and sometimes an extra comforter in the winter.

6. Do you like it warm in the room? The window open? Cold?
I leave my window open all year, I can't stand it otherwise XD Other than that... no temperature preference I guess.

7. What do you wear to bed? PJs? Or do you wear whatever you wore that day?
I sleep naked! :) I honestly hate sleeping with a shirt on, and pants (especially long ones) are pretty miserable too.

8. We won't judge, promise. Do you have stuffed animals laying on your bed that help you go to sleep?
Lol no

9. Can you sleep with a TV on?
No... :( I can fall asleep with music on, but not a TV. It's weird.

10. Are you a light sleeper, or heavy sleeper? Does it take a lot to wake you up? Or does the sound of a pin dropping onto the carpet (sliiiight exaggeration) wake you up?

Heavy I guess, it takes a bit to wake me up.

1. Which side do you usually ~fall~ sleep on? Left, right, back, belly?
I... don't know. Probably leaning onto my pillow on the right side... so sort of on my stomach and sort of not. XD;

2. Which side is the most uncomfortable to sleep on? Left, right, back, belly?
Back, definitely. D: I think the only time I fall asleep on my back is when I roll onto my back in the mornings to help me try to wake up and fail by falling back asleep anyway.

3. Wake up with any aches or pains? If so, typically, where are they?
Sometimes the pillows for my head are too high and I get neck pains from sleeping on them. T_T;

4. Cold pillow? Warm pillow? Do you like your pillows soft and fluffy, or firm? How many pillows do you sleep with?
omg pillows. I prefer my pillows cold, but not too cold (obv). If my pillow is too warm I can't sleep at all and it drives me absolutely crazy. My pillows vary. None of them are feathered (I hate feather pillows) but one is a firmer/thicker pillow meant specifically for back/neck support. Then I have another two that *used* to be specifically for support but are so overused that they feel like regular pillows now. XD And lastly, I have a body pillow that is SO COMFORTABLE TO SNUGGLE UP AGAINST OMG. n_n If I'm super cold, I arrange my pillows around me and it's so comfortable.

5. How heavy are your blankets?
Right now I still have my summer sheets on but my comforter never changes. :s I'm waiting on putting my not-quite-flannel sheets on because when we turn the heat on it might get too hot. So for now I'm just wearing warmer pyjamas when it's cold.

6. Do you like it warm in the room? The window open? Cold?
Like I said above, I hate when it's too warm. So I prefer it to be cold because then I can just bundle up to get warmer. I tend not to keep the window open if only because noise makes me absolutely unable to sleep.

7. What do you wear to bed? PJs? Or do you wear whatever you wore that day?
I freaking love pyjamas. Year-round, I usually wear light pyjama bottoms (my current ones are Dr Seuss "One Fish, Two Fish" ones ♥) and a black tank top but when it gets colder I've been wearing my really fuzzy pink ones. n_n I look forward to Christmas every year because my mom always gets me a new set of pyjamas, haha.

8. We won't judge, promise. Do you have stuffed animals laying on your bed that help you go to sleep?
I worry too much about rolling over onto my plushies and damaging them! D: But my Pichu plushies are pretty much ALL in a box right now so I've been meaning to take the bigger ones out and put them in the corner of my bed I don't sleep near so... I will soon. Though, they won't help me sleep at all. XD;

9. Can you sleep with a TV on?
I can when I'm exhausted but it's usually a major distraction otherwise. x_o I have minor insomnia right now (gosh i love medicinal side effects 8|) so noise and lights really, really bother me.

10. Are you a light sleeper, or heavy sleeper? Does it take a lot to wake you up? Or does the sound of a pin dropping onto the carpet (sliiiight exaggeration) wake you up?
Once I've fallen asleep, it can be a little hard to get me up but typically I'm an average sleeper. I'll occasionally sleep right through my alarm but it happens maybe once or twice a year. However getting to sleep is a different story and even the LED lights on my clock-radio will keep me awake on bad nights. x_o

11. Is going to sleep an end to your day, or the beginning of a new one?
It is the end of a day. Waking up signifies the beginning. ♥


And all that said, I'm going to bed! 8D

Left and right side. I don't want to sleep on my back or I'll start snoring. D;

2. Which side is the most uncomfortable to sleep on? Left, right, back, belly?
I feel uncomfortable sleeping on my belly. I'unno, it just does.

3. Wake up with any aches or pains? If so, typically, where are they?

I usually wake up with my back aching, yes.

I want my pillow soft and fluffy and cold. And I sleep with 2 pillows. 'nuff said.

5. How heavy are your blankets?
Not heavy at all!

6. Do you like it warm in the room? The window open? Cold?
I like it cold. xP

7. What do you wear to bed? PJs? Or do you wear whatever you wore that day?
I wear whatever I end up wearing. Doesn't matter anyways.

1. Which side do you usually ~fall~ sleep on? Left, right, back, belly?
On my left. Always facing the left, away from my tv and window, looking towards my door and the stairs.
2. Which side is the most uncomfortable to sleep on? Left, right, back, belly?
Left. I can sleep on my right side though. Belly is alright and back is just awful.
3. Wake up with any aches or pains? If so, typically, where are they?
The back of my neck around the base, almost every day.
4. Cold pillow? Warm pillow? Do you like your pillows soft and fluffy, or firm? How many pillows do you sleep with?
COLD. Most of the time I spend trying to fall asleep is readjusting the pillow to find a cold spot. Jesus it has got to be the most annoying thing in the world to deal with, even with four pillows alternating. I like them flat and set in, so I can use one, two or three. Whichever feels the most comfortable at the time.
5. How heavy are your blankets?
I don't have a set blanket, we just sorta have a community blanket closet at my house haha. It ranges from a thin fleece to a king sized comforter.
6. Do you like it warm in the room? The window open? Cold?
Most of the time I like everything cold so when I'm laying in bed I can lay under the blanket and not get overheated. I try having the window open but my mom hates it so I tend not to.
7. What do you wear to bed? PJs? Or do you wear whatever you wore that day?
the undershirt I've been wearing during the day and boxer briefs. Boxer briefs have got a level of class neither briefs or boxers can rival. On top of that I'm pretty sexy so I'm thinking about being an underwear model, as mine fit quite well.
8. We won't judge, promise. Do you have stuffed animals laying on your bed that help you go to sleep?
No but I sleep with one of my pillows in between my legs and sort of tucked under my side.
9. Can you sleep with a TV on?
Yeah. My room's dark enough that if I'm not facing the tv it's light won't bother me, and I don't have to deal with the noise of it because it's my room. Though, not gonna lie, sometimes I leave it on because I'm anxious in the dark. It's one of my irrational fears, I'd say at least 15% of the time I get a little uneasy in the dark. Mostly in my room though. Which is weird enough because I love it outside during the night more than I do in the daytime.
10. Are you a light sleeper, or heavy sleeper? Does it take a lot to wake you up? Or does the sound of a pin dropping onto the carpet (sliiiight exaggeration) wake you up?
Wicked light sleeper.
11. Is going to sleep an end to your day, or the beginning of a new one?
Going to sleep is the end of the day. Waking up is the beginning of a new day.

Soft and fluffy, but not so much you're gonna sink into the pillow. And Definitely NOT FIRM, yuck.

I sleep with four pillows! So comfy.

In the winter, I sleep with a duvet. I also like tons of blankets for more comfiness.

I like it warm.

1. Which side do you usually ~fall~ sleep on? Left, right, back, belly?
Right side, I think.

2. Which side is the most uncomfortable to sleep on? Left, right, back, belly?
Back, definitely.

3. Wake up with any aches or pains? If so, typically, where are they?
Mm, nah.

4. Cold pillow? Warm pillow? Do you like your pillows soft and fluffy, or firm? How many pillows do you sleep with?
Cool pillow, slightly firm, two pillows.

5. How heavy are your blankets?
Pretty heavy.

6. Do you like it warm in the room? The window open? Cold?
Cold in the room, so I can snuggle up and be warm. I open the widows when I can.

7. What do you wear to bed? PJs? Or do you wear whatever you wore that day?
PJs, usually.

8. We won't judge, promise. Do you have stuffed animals laying on your bed that help you go to sleep?
No, they all sleep together. Otherwise the ones I'm not sleeping with will be jealous, and I don't have enough room in my bed for all of them.

9. Can you sleep with a TV on?
Yeah, but I don't usually.

10. Are you a light sleeper, or heavy sleeper? Does it take a lot to wake you up? Or does the sound of a pin dropping onto the carpet (sliiiight exaggeration) wake you up?
Medium, I guess. I wake up when people yell at me from another room, but apparently they can hold a conversation with me when I'm not quite awake and I will be coherent. I'll go back to sleep and not remember it, though.

11. Is going to sleep an end to your day, or the beginning of a new one?
A nice, relaxing end to my day.
