    Do you take comfort objects to bed with you, such as teddy bears or blankets? I do. I have a stuffed fairy doll called Sparkle who I take to bed with me every night. I got her as a present when I was two years old and there hasn't been a single night since then that I haven't hugged her in my arms. I even take her on school trips and on sleepovers. I think we will always be together.

    Do you have anything like this? If you don't, then did you when you were little?
     
    I had a toy dog named Max when I was real little, I can't find it anymore which makes me all sad and stuff. Now my doggies sleep with me sometimes, and it's not quite as comfortable as it is comforting.
     
    I had LOADS of teddies when I was little. But now I don't have any.
    Because I'm a man
     
    I had a teddy bear named Max that I used to sleep with every night. I still have him, but now he sits on top of my shelf at all hours of the day.
     
    I have a stuffed teddy bear that I have had since I was born and I still sleep with him.
     
    I can't say I have any teddy bear or blanket that I'm infatuated with now, but when I was a lot younger I had this specific pillow and blanket that I couldn't go to bed without (or anywhere else for that matter). Both the pillow and the blanket I carried around with me were made out of the same material. I can't recall the exact name of it now, but it was similar to silk, just not exactly. I don't know what got me so close to these two objects, but they comforted me whenever I felt alone, cold, or just tired.

    I got rid of them a few years back when cleaning out my room for the summer before the new school year had arrived though. It brought back some serious memories that I don't think I could forget. ...The good old days... XD;
     
    As far as I know, I don't have anything that I bring to bed with me, or can't sleep without. Ever since I was young, I didn't really see the point of the 'comfort objects' everyone else seemed to have. This is me though, I don't know about you guys...
     
    When I was younger I use to sleep with my scooby doo doll lol

    I don't really sleep with anything now Except my girlfriend
     
    Yeah I have tons, I'm not any less manly because of it.
    I mean no. I have like a blanket that has a Colorado Avalance logo on it (hockey team for those of you who don't know) but thats about it. I got a fleece blanket too with my college stuff.
     
    I used to take a pen still do O_o

    Don't ask why, cause I truly don't know... though it maybe because I might get inspired to write a poem in the middle of the night (Happened once)
     
    I used to have a white bear named Max (very popular name by the looks of things :D), but now I often fall asleep with my laptop in my arms :S Disturbing...
     
    I....just go to sleep without taking anything with me. D:
     
    I do not sleep with any stuffed animals, even though I am an avid collector. I do walk around with a blanket like a cape though... but really because I get cold easily and it regulates my temperature easily.
     
    I need something heavy over me to sleep, otherwise I won't get comfortable at all. This really sucked when I lived in places without A/C during the summer, because it was too hot, even at night, to be sleeping with one. I'd do it anyway.

    It's not a specific blanket I need to fall asleep, as long as it's a quilt instead of a bedsheet. I do have a blue quilt I've had for years now (close to ten?) I use, though. It was supposed to be a replacement for my sister's quilt, which she was insanely attached to because it belonged to our deceased father. She wouldn't have anything to do with it, and because I was a little copycat as a kid and it was already made, I took it instead. It's basic, but I've had it for so long I'd probably be sad if I had to part with it. I'll give away my other quilts before I'll get rid of my blue one -- done it before, in fact.
     
    I have a white (polar?) bear appropriately dubbed Sleepy Bear. He used to be white, anyway - years of sleep-drool and general wear-and-tear have rendered him something more along the lines of a deep grayish-brown. I really threw/swung him around a lot when I was younger, and tore up/thinned his original outfit of pink pajamas so that his stuffing was close to falling out. But my grandma sewed him a red jumpsuit out of felt to remedy this, and out of fear of his imminent mortality I have taken great pains with him ever since. I was afraid if I ever lost him I would enter a grief that I'd never recover from.

    I don't need him to sleep, per se - but I like to have him next to me on my pillow nonetheless.
     
    I used to have a hoard of soft (and hard) toys which I used to bring into my bed every night. We used to have secret meetings and sing together when I was supposed to be sleeping. Over time, though, I reduced the number of soft toys in my bed until none remained. The last soft toy to sleep in my bed would have to be a little bear named "Goldie", since he sparkled gold in light.
     
    Whenever possible, I try to have my blanket with me. Just in case it's one cold night in store
     
    Ahh.. yes, I remember when I was little I used to have a blankie called Prisilla.
    I never let go of it ever! Except for whe it needed to be washed. My sister has a Blankie called "Blankie" But she has sort of outgrown it..
     
    Oh yes. I have my Axel pwushie that I take with me everywhere, to bed too. He is very special because I got him at my first anime convention, PLUS he was squished between three out of five of the hugs I received from Vic. I had him held to my chest by my messenger bag. :3

    I also have my two pillows I can't sleep without so they travel with me. One is Inuyasha and the other one is Sesshomaru. I have my blanket too, my comforter, which I call my blankey... because I've had it ever since we moved to Arizona. It's torn and worn out but I simply can't part with it. It's been with me through tears and sickness... and still keeps me warm. Plus, it's softer than any other blankets I've had so I just can't part with it. :D

    That's really about it.
