Why Can't You Sleep?

I was just in bed, about to go to sleep when I realised something... I need to be covered to sleep. I can't just stretch out completely uncovered and fall asleep. I need something on me. If I'm fully clothed, I can fall asleep. Even if it's just a bit of a blanket across my stomach, no problem. But if I'm not covered in some way, I'll just toss around.

Is there something that you absolutely need to fall asleep?

I keep worrying about the Star Wars DVD set... that, and zombies.

I need alot of weight on my body. Like alot of heavy sheets or I don't sleep well at all. So even in the summer I sleep with five blankets and I have no AC. I don't understand why either.

scotch. now that i'm not drinking for the month you can expect to find me here very, very late.

When I realize I am up to 994 comments, I can't sleep until I reach my landmark. I am a dork.

im the same with the covers thing.

I need my feet covered up with a sheet. No socks.

I need the walls to stay put. I need the clown to close his eyes. I need the sound to calm itself, and my heart to slow down. I need to masturbate.

I always need covers on me. Which is a bit of a problem when you live in 100+ degree weather. I at least need a sheet on top of me.

Side note... I'm terribly afraid of sleeping naked ever since my first large earthquake when I moved here 5 years ago. I have this image of the rescue people coming to get me and me just shooing them away, because I'm stark naked under a pile of rubble.

I need to be dead tired

I haven''t had a beer yet.

cause im at work right now...

Nothing at all. Hell I can even sleep standing up if I am tired enough.

Sleep is for the weak..especially on zombie watch...

SHHH...did you hear that... Quick pass me the sword and the nailgun...

FYI-If I sleep in 20 minutes I can still get a good four hours...then it's someone else's watch.

not even caffeine pills can keep me awake if I just lie down and shut my eyes.

i need to have my hand or pillow or something under my chin, kind of holding my mouth shut, because if i feel my jaw go slack i can't fall asleep. i can't sleep on my back at all.

because she's not beside me

When I cant sleep, for whatever reason, if I lay on the floor I'm out like a light.



And I can't sleep with out fans or some equal noise like an air conditioner or some thing.

need a blanket myself, but if i'm dead tired i just pass out wherever.

music! i can't sleep if it's silent. the hum of my air conditioner is also strangely sleep inducing.

i cant sleep cuz i have insomnia, and i work the third shift. so theres always stuff going on and the sun to deal with. and ontop of that, i think my computer fans are too loud.

oh, and i have a jack russell terrier. that mother fucker can never stay still.

Fan, heavy blankets (no sheets...ick), two pillows, and cool air. I've been known to crack a window in the winter. I prefer to be bundled with cool air than hot with just one blanket. I need the weight.

Why can't I sleep: because I have vicious nightmares from the moment I finally drop off until I wake up with a jolt and my heart racing about 5 minutes later, after which I just stay up and watch Street Smarts and M.A.S.H. until it's time for McDonald's breakfast.

i can't sleep because my brain won't shut up!

I also need a quilt or sheet or something... and at the moment i can't seem to even think about sleeping without the noise of my fan.
