Do you feel that is difficult for you to fall asleep when you in a strange bed or a new bed you never sleep in?It is difficult for me.I will feel no sense of security in a strange bed.
Sometimes only the first night i cann't feel well as after the first night i am famillar with the bed.
What about you?Can you get a good night in a strange bed?

no i can sleep fine in any bed. If I'm tired, then it doesn't matter where i am at. But waking up is different. I'm always confused when i wake up. Like where am i? How did i get here? and i freak out a bit.

I most certainly cannot. That's one thing I don't like about travel I have to be utterly exhausted for me to sleep in a bed or place that is not home. But you are right on day 2-3+ you feel a bit more relaxed with your surroundings and you are probably pretty pooped out from not getting a decent sleep the night before.

No, i cant sleep well in a strange bed. Every time i go out for trave outside,and sleep at hotel,i couldnt fall in sleep soon,except for once i have been in Nanjing,coz i was so tired that i fell deadly sleep after shower,yeah, only once.
And i have the same trouble in friends's home, if i need to put up for the night in friends' home,i wouldnt get the good sleep there,OMG,ONLY TV company with me at that time untill later night!

I feel so difficult to fall asleep in strange bed. I love and feel comfortable with my own bed. I need 3 to 5 days to get familiar with new bed then i can get goodnight. It is so annoying when i have to sleep at my relative's home. I can't sleep at all. I don't really familiar with the environment and feel strange.

Any kind of bed you give it to me , if u give bedsheet , i can sleep comfortably.
My parents used to wonder how i could sleep , even if power fails. The bedsheet gives
me a sense of covering and i get sleep automatically.

Hello yinmm. It does not matter to me whether it is a new or old or familiar bed to me. I can sleep in a strange bed if I feel tired and sleepy. But of course, I love my own bed best.

I get used to sleeping in different beds. I have this job before that requires me to travel frequently and I even experienced sleeping in different beds and in different type of accommodation (hotel beds, ship bunk and bus station couch) in a week. There were nights I woke up wondering where I was and have to accustom myself to the surroundings and think to remember my location. I enjoyed those trips and I can barely remember having hard time sleeping in strange beds.

I love new beds. I especially love different beds in hotels. The sheets are always so crisp and the pillows are so chilly.
I find sleeping in the same bed every night a tad monotonous.

we are the same!Maybe the first one or two night is really difficult for me to fall asleep. But there is one thing that I dont like others including my best friend to sleep on my bed!

Hmmm... Sleeping in strange or new Bed? well, i think its just a psychological effect for some people. For me yes i do feel strange/ a little bit difficult to sleep to a new bed but later on i used to get along with it. Maybe its just once personal preferences for instances you use to sleep on a more softer bed, fine, larger bed, etc...

As long as is clean, and comfortable I fall asleep as a rock. Maybe because since little I have travel so much I am in certain way trained to sleep where ever has the previous conditions mentioned.

It's weird sometimes that I can't sleep in anybody's house or bed. So sleeping to some others house is a problem for me because I can't sleep there. I think I love the comfort and the security of our house. I'm feel restless when we have a sleep over to my classmate one time to do our projects. They invite me to sleep there to there bed but I can't sleep or even close my eyes. I end up waiting for the sunrise the next day.
