Do you have a fear of falling off the bed when you are sleeping?

Sometimes I wake up in a fright in the middle of the night because I fear that somehow I am about to fall off the bed. it seldom happens, but when I happen to sleep near the edge, this will happen. It happens more frequently when I was younger, and had to share hotel bed with 2 other friends to save cost. With three persons sleeping together, there is a real risk of falling off the bed.

If I sleep on my own bed, there is no risk at all. It is only when you have to share a bed with a few others when you are travelling on a budget, then there is a risk of falling. Imagine 3 adults sleeping together on the same bed.

No I have never feared falling out of or off my bed. Growing up I had a double bed all to myself so I always had plenty of room. I now share a king-size bed with my hubby. I have never fell out of bed either.

Actually we seldom fall off the bed, unless we were young and played with our siblings. It seems that our subconscious is still at work to prevent us from rolling all over, and falling off. However, most of us have nightmares of falling from height, and this is probably part of the warning that we are able to fall from bed.
