What I want to share with everyone now is sleeping patterns and behaviors. I have always been interested by sleeping. How people sleep. Do they sprawl out? Sleep with fans on? Snore? Sleep walk? Talk in their sleep? All sorts of things. Today I am going to share some of my sleep patterns. Some of them may be bizarre, some of them not.
- I like to sleep (even in warm weather) with heavy blankets on. The weight is comforting.
- I have been told that I talk in my sleep about everything from dead fruit bats in the pantry, to inquiring what someones name is.
- I have on occasion been told that I snore, although I choose not to believe it.
- Sometimes I am a wild sleeper and will wake up with blankets completely turned around, or pillowcases off the pillow.
- I wear this heart ring with the point facing me. Every now and then I will wake up and the heart arches will be facing me. Which means that in the middle of the night I am taking my ring off, turning it around and putting it back on. Pretty weird, hun?
- Last semester during finals I was waking up and my hands and fingers were so sore. After some time I figured out that I was clenching my fists while sleeping. I had to make an effort to lay my hands flat when going to sleep. I think this fist clenching had something to do with stress.
- Most recently the balls of my feet have been hurting upon waking up. I think this is because I have been curling my toes while sleeping. So now I am making and effort to not do this. Very strange
Now that I just shared some personal sleep habits and oddities, what are some of yours?

Oh my gosh, sometimes Im a crazy sleeper. I definitely go to sleep with a bunch of blankets on, but when I am home, they NEVER stay on. But when Im at someone else's house my body seems to realize that it is time to behave and not throw someone else's things off the bed :)
I talk too, I once narrated a whole Houston Astro's baseball game while in Tampa.
I'd be scared to sleep next to you. It sounds like you're angry when you sleep. I sleep "normal" from what I hear. Serena will tell me that I kick her once in awhile. (It's a loving kick.)
I have to have something covering me. Even if it is only a sheet. I move a lot in my sleep, but not wildly. The bankets are usually still tucked in and not in a tangled mess, so I know it is not wild sleeping, but I wake up in different positions. No snoring, though occasional talking from what I here. I beat my sister up once in my sleep.
And if I remember correctly, you snore when you sleep :)
First of all it is not showing my comments!
Sarah - You are hilarious! Thats awsome about the ball game narration.
Luke - I never thought about myself as angry but maybe I am, I just thought it was stress.
Amanda - I was asking about stories about you sleeping not me! How dare you comment on the fact that I snore. I really don't think I do all the time.
I don't think I do anything too weird. I don't even move at all unless I wake up, which can lead to some stiff bones. My own occasional snort will wake me up, but doesn't every snort themselves awake sometimes?!
kristi remember the time when you were about 3 years old and you were sleepwalking.. you went out the front door in my snow boots and your pj's in about 2 1/2 feet of snow and more coming down, then you got stuck in the driveway and i came outside to pull you out, you were crying because you did not know how you got there, the door was dead bolted from that day on... MOM
Yeah, I don't really remember that, but thanks for saving me! I love you mom
Beem! I miss you, how are you? I hope you are doing great, I loved this post, it was so hilarious to me! I miss seeing you and laughing with you friend! love you--
I like to sleep with lots of blankets on, even if it's really warm. It just feels nice. Elice says I'm a heater when I'm sleeping, but I don't think that's true; I always feel cold anyways. If I'm really tired I usually wake up facing the wrong end of the bed. I guess that means I move A LOT. Sometimes I wake up and say funny things, but usually I don't remember it the next day. That's Launi's job. She also says that I like to stick my head on her pillow. I think that's kind of like the lots of blankets thing. The other funny thing is that when I go to sleep, I always have to have a blanket covering my head. When I was three my mom was reading to me about the story of the Israelites and the Angel of Death. And since then I've been sure that the Angel is going to come get me in my sleep. Somehow the blanket fixes all of that. Weird, I know. If I can't see the angel, then the angel can't see me.
i cannot sleep without having my hands curled into fists. i just can't. and i cannot sleep on my back.
