Pillow Talk

[sisabet]

I met Dawn shopping today - she just recently adopted a rescue dog (a girl! A little girl! Well, a 97 pound little girl, but she is just the sweetest thing ever!) so we met up at Petsmart and got some essentials.

*is excited*

I have decided to start sleeping in my bedroom again. I always intend to sleep in my room and rarely make it - but today I decided it was because the layout of the bedroom is awkward and it is too hard to get to the bed.

Also the room is really really messy.

So, I vowed to clean it (and I did) and I also vowed to make the bed more inviting (which I did) and I decided to buy nice pillows cause Kohl's had a buy one get one free sale and Mom got me some pajamas for Christmas that were waaaaay too small. So - win, win - right?

Except buying pillows is complicated - I had no idea. The pillows differ in density or support or something depending on the way you sleep. And that is when it hit me: I have no idea how I sleep.

I have suspicions, sure. I think I am a back sleeper. I am not sure, though because standing there in the aisleway looking at pillows, I realized that everytime I pictured myself asleep or falling asleep or in bed, I was on my side. But I just don't know cause when I am asleep, I am sleeping! I don't go to bed until I am falling down, passing out (hence the mostly sleeping on the couch. I put my pajamas on reeeeaally early in the evening cause *who* knows when I will go down for the count. It could happen anytime and anywhere). If I for some strange reason go to bed and am not passing out - then I am all tossy and turny and OMG, what if I sleep on my stomach?? I never even considered that possibility. This is me, in front of the pillow display, at Kohls. I am truly a successful adult.

So, in the end, I bought the side pillows but it really could have gone either way. I am worried that now I won't be able to sleep tonight because I will be too hypervigilant regarding positioning.

You realize, the solution to not knowing how you sleep is to do what I do -- buy pillows for ALL positions! Then you will be prepared for anything!

:may or may not have twelve pillows on my bed:

I had that exact same realization last year, when I bought new pillows with my Christmas money. And it's worse because I'm pretty sure I fall asleep on my side, but I have woken up in every position possible (including: wedged into the crack between the wall and the bed, half hanging off the bed, with my head at the foot of the bed, practically sitting up, and (according to my parents who witnessed it) on my back with my legs sticking up in the air). In the end I opted for some that said they were good for both side and back sleepers, and I've been very happy with them.

Why does everything have to be made so complicated for us these days?
There was a time when pillows were just... you know, pillows!
