Hirondelle Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 What this topic is asking is, how do you all sleep best? In order for me to have an optimal sleeping experience, I need to have: -A mattress (As opposed to a futon or something) -Sheet covering the mattress -Two pillows, a firmer one below a softer one -A ceiling fan on "high" -Complete darkness. Meaning, no laptop lights, no cracks of light under the door, no clock illumination...nothing. As for my body, I usually fall asleep on my stomach/side with my head resting on my arms, but always wake up on my back. So, how do the rest of you sleep?

eclipse Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 1. I can't be too hot or cold. 2. It must be dead silent. Anything other than that, and I don't sleep well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirondelle Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 2. It must be dead silent. Anything other than that, and I don't sleep well. I forgot to put that, as well. My ceiling fan makes a little noise, so I guess I've adjusted to that. But, I can honestly say that I never adjusted to intoxicated girls yelling and even vomiting outside my dorm, conveniently located near my school's Greek housing.

Celice Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I have a fan on, on my side, usually hugging a firm pillow for support. What I sleep on pretty much various and I'm not picky--but I sleep best how's such is. Lately I've gotten out of my home for the summer, and my laptop's been without battery--I conditioned myself into falling asleep to watching a specific series on youtube, and since I can't, I haven't been falling asleep all too well in the process because of that D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freohr Datia Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 A mattress, a sheet over it, one pillow, not too hot/cold, and absolutely must have a fan going on. I used to be able to sleep without it until during the one summer where my dad tried to use air conditioning as little as possible and I had to turn it on every day. Then I just got too used to it. I also get bugged by light, though sometimes I can go to sleep in the middle of the day. I'm also pretty sensitive during sleep, which makes the fan help. I think that's just about like what everyone else said =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawman Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) I can sleep anywhere, on anything, in any position, with any amount of noise, in any amount of dark/light, at any temperature. Yeah, I'm just that good. But I prefer not to sleep at all. Oh and I'm being serious with that answer. Except I don't think I can sleep standing up or with my eyes open.

General Horace Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) I sleep on top of my bedsheet with no comforter/blanket, and no pillows. I could sleep through a thunderstorm. Edited June 3, 2011 by General_Horace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikethfc Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I normally sleep on my bed, I thought you'd like to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darros Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Who needs sleep, we have the internet I have a mattress with a pad on top, then sheets and 5 blankets, though that part doesn't matter too much for me. Usually though I need a ton of pillows stacked on eachother so I can sleep. I have 5 on my bed now. I also used to need my fan on, but my parents told me to stop, so I broke that habit. I could sleep through a thunderstorm. On Wednesday night I did sleep through a thunderstorm. Edited June 3, 2011 by Darros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnell Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I can sleep pretty much anywhere. I typically like a lot of blankets so I'm warm, but I can do without just about everything. I've fallen asleep with the lights on in my room before, I sleep through storms and other loud noises, and once I slept on a friend's floor with no blankets, no pillow, and no mattress. It wasn't comfortable, but I was tired. Ideally, though, I sleep with a mattress, one or two pillows, and a lot of sheets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amelia Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) A comfy bed, a fan or an AC (preferably AC), 2 pillows, 2 hugging pillows, 1 blanket, complete darkness, headphones in ears with a playing Ipod. Happy Amely. Edited June 3, 2011 by Amelia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Ah, actually, there's also supposedly, for some people, some instinctual response to sleeping in an enclosed environment. I forget where I read the studies, but if you sleep underneath a table, for example, you're more likely to fall asleep quicker, and enjoy a better night's rest.

Fenrir Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 -I can sleep when im tired to music, other noises are near impossible. -Darkness is a must for me, i've gotta put a pillow on my face or something. -I use one pillow. -and my sleep schedule is really fuckeed up right now, i keep waking up at 8:30 really tired then sleeping another hour or hour and a half.

Phoenix Wright Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I like two pillows, a blanket, and something for me to sleep on, mattress, blanket, carpet, hardwood, or tile (from greatest to least). Like the rest of my family, I'm used to sleeping on the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I've slept on just a carpeted floor before, so I guess I can sleep on nearly anything, as long as I feel comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanarkin Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 A mattress A pillow (a fluffy one, but not too fluffy your head goes right through, for lack of a better word.) My blanket (i use one year round, not sure if its called blanket in english since it actally keeps you quite warm.) Must be relatively cold, although not too cold. If it gets too hot i have trouble falling asleep, specially since it gets hard to use my blanket. Dark is cool but not a necessity. Hopefully low light though. Little noise is important.

Solanum Tuberosum Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 It can't be hot otherwise I will roll around pointlessly for hours. Other than that if I'm tired I'll fall asleep at my computer desk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanami Touko Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 It's been getting harder for me to fall asleep lately. Oh well Mattress, soft pillow, fan (Or some sort of ambient noise), sheet/blanket, and that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau of Isaac Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) It is very difficult for me to fall asleep, and I generally find myself incapable of being able to do so at someone else's home. Obviously I need a matress, a blanket, pillows, etc. Or at least, I expect them. However, I require the sleeping area to be at least cool to begin with. If it's warm, I'm not going to be able to sleep regardless of how tired I am. Unless, I suppose, I'm very cold. Though that is very rare. I also need some sort of background noise to help me sleep. I suppose I prefer a fan, since it would also keep me from getting overly warm. Finally, I need to have the door to the room I'm sleeping in shut. As for how I sleep, it's kind of a mess. I generally start by trying to lay on my left side, but I toss and turn about all the time. I suppose I just sleep however I finally manage to get myself to fall asleep.

BK-201 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I can't sleep well in environments that are heated. :/ Apparently I've slept through a fire alarm, so I guess I'm a pretty heavy sleeper when I do sleep though that was quite a while ago.

Secret Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I have a mattress, 4 pillows (two of those ornamental pillows that are uncomfortable and I don't use and two regular ones), comforter and sheets. I sleep in any position and, for some reason, fall asleep extremely quick when I stack my pillows. Woo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Emblem Addict Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I don't really have preferences because I just can't fall asleep no matter what (well it always takes it a very long time)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
