Sheets

Oh no! You had multiple heart attacks? Are you doing better now?

Oh wow! That's tough! :( But it's good you're doing better! I can't believe you can't get any help after all that's happened to you! That's ridiculous and I don't want to know what they're rules are if they are that tough!!

Yes, I've had two heart attacks, both in May of this year. I have two stents one inside the other cuz the first one didn't do it's job--- I have lost 34% of my heart function but the only problem with that is I get really tired. I got turned down with social security disability too cuz they said I didn't qualify with their rules-------- I am appealing and have written a three page letter telling them a 61 year old woman cannot find work. An employer would hire a 25 yr old before they'd hire an old lady with heart trouble ! Still, yep, I'm doing ok and just glad to be alive.

I've never even tried to sleep without something acting as a pillow, but I can imagine I wouldn't like that either. The bottom sheet as in the sheet you are sleeping ON top of, or the firs sheet that is covering you? The sheet I'm sleeping ON has to be tucked under the mattress, but I don't always tuck in the sheets that are covering me. I like sleeping with my pets too, but they usually scatter to different rooms so I can sleep fine if they don't choose to sleep with me one night :D They have 4 different bedrooms to pick from lol

Oo okay! Yeah, I hate when the sheets I'm on bunch up at the feet! It drives me crazy lol. I wish my sheets fit better too.

I mean the top sheet. My bottom sheets are fitted and stay in place. They don't budge.

Oh no! So you sleep covered up and without the fan if it's hot? I'm not sure I could do that. I don't like being really hot while I"m trying to sleep, that's why the fan has to be on, because I need to be covered up! lol I actually like the sound of my fan, sometimes it helps me sleep.

Ooo I misread what you wrote. I thought it said ' I can't sleep with the fan on.' Oops! My fault!! :P lol

No, I always have the fan on. Whether it's hot or cold. I need the sound to be able to sleep. I can't sleep when it's cold. I can sleep when it's hot just fine, but when it's cold I need to be able to pile on extra blankets.

LOL! The last thing I need to do is suffocate myself while I'm sleeping!! But really I think I might feel to claustrophobic if I tried to sleep with a cover over my face...plus it would be really hot and uncomfortable!

LOL! Yes, don't scare the kids!!! My fan goes really fast so even if it's hot out I don't get to hot when I'm covered. If I have one arm out from under the blanket and the cool fan air hits that, I'm set. lol. Plus I don't cover up my shoulders/face if it's hot....hmmm...I don't cover my face even if it's cold! lol

Yes, leaving the face uncovered is definitely a wise move!

lol! The club could be called...."Weirdo's Under Cover." lol.

Yeah! I was surprised to see there are so many other people that agree with me when it comes to sleeping with covers! *We aren't weird! Yay!* lol

We should start a club or something

Maybe it's just the fact that being covered up is always associated with being in bed and sleeping O.o lol

May be, the thing that you just said is true! Or just a habit that started in my childhood!

Yeah if I feel too hot when I'm trying to sleep it's just uncomfortable. If I do feel too hot with the covers I have on me I either put an arm outside the covers so I'll feel more air form the fan...or I'll just lower the sheets a little, but I always have to keep the covers on most of me! lol

I don't know exactly why I need to be covered either. A lot of people agree it's a security thing, but I still don't know my whole reasoning. Maybe it's just that it feels weird not being covered when you're in bed.

lol! So your boyfriend sleeps on top of the covers while you sleep under them? At least with him sleeping on them you feel more tucked in :D Or does that extra sheet tightness bother you?

The fan noise doesn't bother me, I can definitely sleep without the fan on. Right now it's cold out so I only need to cover up, no fan. But when it's hot I'll cover and use the fan--your son is right that the droning sound is lulling. But it isn't necessary for me :) I definitely do feel more comfortable covered; you're right about it feeling like a cocoon! lol

Yeah, fan on high and sheets always (unless it's cold, then no fan just covers!). And the fan's noise doesn't bother me, it actually helps me sleep :D Soooothing lol

O-M-G....a different answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol. I think you're the first person who said you can sleep without covering! :P Yay!! :D lol

I have to straighten the sheets up a little, especially the one I'm going to be sleeping on top of (I don't like the covers bunched up under me)...but I don't have to make it perfect before I sleep in it! :P

I Love bundling up when it's cold! :D lol. But if it is warmer out I have my thin bed sheet and then another slightly heavier cover. I don't use really thick comforters if it's really hot, but I don't have to have something other than the really thin bed sheet! :D

If it's cold I definitely don't turn the fan on, I just bundle up under blankets! But when it's hot the fan goes on High and I still cover up, just not as heavily.

Yeah, it's kind of weird that so many people see a sheet as a source of protection! :P I really don't know why I have to be covered when I sleep....it is a comfort thing but I don't know what it is comforting me from! lol.

lol! Well I don't drink, but the only time I didn't cover up was once, when I was really really sick and I felt like I was boiling! But yeah...I think it is a comfort thing.
