I chose Options 1 and 4; I have a black and red bear named Vincent, named after Mr. Vincent Price, and we generally have the tv on, tuned to the weather station.
I need noise going in the background so a fan is blowing.
I wear socks so my feet don't get cold, or I'll sneeze.
I prefer at least 3 blankets.
I normally get enough sleep this way.
I feel a 12 lb thump on the bed, I put my arm out to the side, and Mr. Fluffies curls up in the crook of my arm :smile:
The fan on. My bedroom is stuffy at night, and I don't like stuffy, and the hum of the fan provides a bit of white noise, which is sleep inducing. So I sleep with the fan on.
Three pillows, two beneath my head, and one "grabby" pillow - and a CPAP mask that makes me sound like Darth Vader.
A lime green full length body pillow.
I've slept with my iPad a few times lol
Jimi Hendrix used to sleep with his guitar. Snooker's on at the moment, yesterday Steve Davis admitted he used to sleep with his cue...

Kitty Cat.
Two pillows... but only one at atime (I switch to keep a cool pillow) a knee pillow, and a "huggy" pillow. Plus my wife.
Two pillows, sheets, blanket. That's about it really. In summer, I like to have a fan on too. It helps me fall to sleep I find. If hagrod haunts me though, I might put a small New Testament under my pillow.

A man after my own heart...it's about 72 in our house now as I speak, and I have the 10,000 BTU monster on, and man does it feel great! White noise from our fan occasionally gets some play too.
Two or more cats.
I am usually flanked by 2 guard cats in bed. My husband hates it :smile:. Sometimes they suddenly fight and almost give us a heart attack in the middle of the night.
I sleep with the following:
1. Either my elderly Ninja turtle, a Cookie Monster or my forty-five year old teddy bear. :smile:
2. The bedside lamp is more often than not on and sometimes the TV too.
I cant sleep without the TV on. Or George Norry's AM COAST TO COAST show on late night radio.
I sleep with a "huggy" pillow,the tv on(silence drives me nuts),my small bedside fan blowing......oh,and my hubby. :teddyr:

I sleep with her, too; works out really good.
Silence works best for me though heaters or air conditioners help. I dont sleep with any objects.
:lookingup: Gas...
I sleep with rare (3-4 times a year) but briefly intense night terrors and have since about the turn of the century. That's why my beds are never next to windows. No fun waking up with no idea where you are, who you are, flailing around, hallucinating in the grip of heart-pounding confused terror that lasts sometimes ten seconds. I once bloodied someone's nose in that state and a psychologist told me that almost qualifies (ha!) as a psychotic episode, which actually nearly disqualified me for a job I was going for that had an in-depth interview process. Used to have a friend back in the day who had sleep paralysis (complete with the classic Old Hag manifestations) and I had night terrors. A great pair, us...

I've encountered the Hag, and twice, I've attacked Trace in my sleep, believing I was fighting off an adversary; scared us both silly.
[12 year old Call of Duty player] You're Mom[/Call of Duty player] :tongueout:
Nah, I sleep with my dog, on the bed.
I sleep with the TV on, I just prefer having some noise hate complete silence makes me uneasy. Need some sort of noise to sleep
My wife and I sleep with our two small dogs. The dogs usually start out on the foot of the bed, but they change positions during the night and sometimes sleep curled up against my stomach or in between my wife and me. Quite frequently, I fall asleep listening to my iPod. Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night and something creepy like "Don't Fear the Reaper" is playing. I'm probably getting all sorts of subliminal suggestions from this music while I'm sleeping. This can only end badly.

That's me as well. :smile:
I wish I had someone to share my bed with but I don't, so every morning my poor old pillow is squashed flat and is covered in slobber. :buggedout: :twirl: :tongueout: :wink:
