    So my brother is spending the rest of this month at home, since his semester at college has ended. Our house is still being remodeled at the moment, and since my family is in a rental that's short on space, my brother and I will have to share a bed.

    He snores so bad.

    This whole scenario got me thinking about sleep habits. Personally, I can only fall asleep on my stomach, but I wake up on my back in the morning without fail. I also barely even use my pillow: my head rests on just the corner, any more and my neck feels like it's too high up.

    So, do any of you have any abnormal sleeping habits?
     
    I sleep hard. I can sleep in a shared bed with anyone, through snoring, in weird positions, without a pillow, anything. I'm proud that I'm easy to please.
     
    My older sister and my dad both are pretty bad snorers (...is that a word?) too, haha.

    It's funny you don't use a pillow often, sometimes I'm that way too. Do you ever just sleep with your head on your arm instead?

    I sleep in every which way. I think the weirdest way I sleep though, is that I'll wake up pretty often, especially if I'm cold, laying on my back with my legs crossed (think if you were sitting cross-legged on the ground) and pulled over my abdomen/chest. Like a little blanket, hahah. For some reason both my little brother and I sleep that way, but nobody else in my family does. I have no idea why we do, or how we both wound up being the type to sleep that way.

    I was out of state for a tournament once, crashing at a friend of a friend's house that incidentally had no furniture in it. >_> I don't find sleeping on my arm to be comfortable, but sometimes it's better than just carpet.

    (I just realized how appropriate my signature is for this topic. LOL)
     
    Top and tail me with me and you'll get kicked in the face.

    That's not a threat it just happens when I sleep. I can snore at times too apparently...
     
    I sleep on the floor now because I don't have a bed, and honestly I would really like some pillows on my joints as they crackle a hell of a lot in the mornings.

    I move a lot during my sleep but generally I'm most comfortable in a half-fetal position on my side. A lot of stretching goes on in my sleep and my eyes must not be able to see anything, while my nose must be able to breathe easily. I don't snore at all and am incredibly easy to wake.
     
    I've had to sleep on just a mattress for years, now I have two mattresses, still no box-spring; but I've grown to love it now.

    I guess I move around in my sleep since I fall into sleep on my back and the next morning, I wake up sideways or on my belly.
    Snoring wise, I don't at all, I'm just out like a light bulb and it takes quite a bit to get me to fully wake back up.

    You can thank naturally low blood pressure for that...
     
    I usually fall asleep on my stomach, but I'm on my back or in a fetal position when I wake up, and I move a lot during the night. I know that because once I was sleeping with a friend and she politely asked me to go sleep on the couch, because I was moving too much and she couldn't sleep.

    I can sleep well no matter what though (especially on the bus. I had my best naps on the bus that brought me home from school) and I rarely snore, that happens only if I'm exhausted or with a cold.
     
    I cannot fall asleep sitting up, on my back, too cold, or in a confined space no matter how dead-tired I get, and it is torture to be stuck in a place where I don't have a choice (such as an airplane seat or a poorly-heated friends' house with no blankets). As for habits I toss around a lot in preparation for sleep, going between sprawled out sideways and full fetal position several times, ending up half-and half. I tend to sleep on somewhere between my side and my stomach, and I like having a pillow or something between my knees so they don't bump each other. In terms of noisy habits, I don't snore, but apparently I still grind my teeth according to the last person I shared a bed with.
     
    I'm also one of those people who barely uses the pillow when I sleep. My head's on my arm a lot. I also alternate between sleeping on my left side, on my back, and on my right side, in that order, then repeat. I can never stay comfortable enough on one side for very long.

    I used to think that I could sleep through anything until I met my match at the hands of one of my classmate's snoring. There was a group of us out in Wyoming and Montana over the summer for field camp and I had to share a dorm room with this one guy......HOLY **** was his snoring terrible. Some nights I had to go sleep out on a couch in the dorm lobby.

    Come to think of it, I find couches more comfortable for sleeping on than beds.
    Maybe there's something wrong with my bed......?
     
    I'm a pretty light sleeper so I wake up easily. I have to get in the right mindset to fall asleep otherwise I will lay in my bed for hours awake, but it's easy for me to get in that mindset it's just a matter of do I want to or not yet?

    Only thing I've found weird about my sleeping is that I like to sleep alone. I don't mind cuddling with someone for a couple minutes, but ultimately I'd want them to leave and the entire bed to myself. When I think about "if I ever get married" I dread the idea of sleeping with someone every single night.
     
    Oh yeah, I'm living by myself this semester because I yell in my sleep apparently. I thought my old roommate was just lying, but a lot of my friends said I slept talk. Apparently, I have many vivid dreams and I just yell what's going on. I'll yell things like "Please!" or "Stop!" . If I think about things a lot during the day, I'll talk about them constantly in my sleep. My roommate said I would talk about math a lot because I always had Calculus 2 last semester. Maybe that's why I'm so good at certain games, because I constantly think about them subconsciously while I'm asleep.
     
    How do you know if you snore? I'm too asleep to realize if I do or not, plus I sleep in my room by myself.

    I like to sleep on my back or my sides, but then my shoulders/arms start to feel numb and I go back to my back. When I sleep on my back, I like to keep my hands on my thighs or on my abdomen.
     
    I always sleep snuggled to my Sebastian plushie, so I sleep on my side... I also sleep facing the wall. Then, when I wake up, I'm facing the opposite direction. It used to be that my plushies would end up on the floor. XD I don't think I sleep in any kind of special way or anything. I just sleep in whatever way makes me more comfortable, you know?
     
    My fiancé and I sleep facing opposite directions (think yin/yang). The reason for this is because he has night terrors and I have taken elbows to the head because of it. Our "pre-sleep" ritual consists of spooning and talking for a while. Sometimes, I pretend to be a jetpack when he has his back turned toward me. Our size difference makes it comical. He snores, but it's not so bad.

    I wake up pretty frequently through the night and shift between my left and right side. I also hug my pillow in my sleep.
     
    I guess the only thing abnormal about my sleeping habits are how normal they are when compared to pretty much all of my acquaintances. I sleep between 11pm and 5am, give or take an hour each way; I go to bed and get up at more or less the same time (10pm and 6am) and, asides from snoring like a thunderstorm (apparently) I don't really have any abnormal sleeping habits or patterns.

    I do develop strange patterns from time to time, though. One week a few months ago I got up at exactly 4:27am for five consecutive days to go to the bathroom...that kind of thing happens a lot, although the times vary. My dreams occasionally carry on into the next day, or play themselves over, so I'm constantly losing track of the day of the week when I first wake up. I absolutely cannot sleep without my duvet even in the hottest of weather (that makes the hotter weeks in the summer misery) and I typically sleep with my window closed.
     
    In terms of sleep habits, if you count sleep talking and sleep walking, they've been pretty big for me especially when I was younger.

    I used to be a pretty violent sleep walker but grew out of it the last few years.
    I've done things ranging from running under my parents bed at 3 in the morning (still sleepwalking) which was weird at the time because I would have been 9 or 10.
    I've almost whacked an alarm clock at my parents who were thankfully awake.

    At one point when I was around 13-14ish, we had family staying over in another room and I slept walked into their room and scared them awake. Weird thing about is I was half asleep and walk up in the middle of my sleep walk and ran back to my room when everyone in the house was awake and looking at me.
    I dreamed there was a rainbow and treasure if I looked through the window blinds which is weird.

    I also sleep talk (but idk if I still do). According to my parents I sleep talk about Pokemon and gibberish haha.

    Snoring-wise, I apparently do really lightly. My parents on the otherhand, their snores are just... idk how would one sleep with them snoring.
