1. Do you have "your" side of the bed? Which side?
I don't have a side that I prefer, but I think I have always slept on the side furthest from the door. Steven told me that it is an instinct or something like that. It really stems from a fear of smoke detectors I had as a child...I wanted to be as far from them as possible.
2. How old is your pillow and what condition is it in?
Relatively new, and in good condition. All three! Ever since seeing an Oprah episode that talked about scary pillow facts, I have gotten neurotic. I replace pillows! Often!
3. What is your favorite position to sleep in?
My ultimate favorite is on my stomach. However, when I have stayed the night with Steven, I tend to be on my side snuggling with him.
4. How often do you change your sheets?
Weekly.
5. What helps you fall asleep when insomnia strikes?
Reading, watching TV (cooking shows and the shopping channel are guaranteed to relax me and knock me out), Tylenol PM, sometimes sex.
6. Does sex make you sleepy or energized?
Depends on the time of day and the type of sex. And I suppose, given my situation, who the sex is with. I can't tell you when I have had sex with my husband and felt ENERGIZED afterwards. It's been YEARS. Steven and I have sex that makes me giddy and energized, and we also have sex that makes me want to cuddle up and sleep because I feel so fulfilled and complete. It just depends.
7. What is the minimum amount of sleep that you need to be functional the next day?
I can "function" on a few hours. I feel best with anything over 7...but the reality is that if it is 5 or 6 hours, I am just fine...my friend STARBUCKS helps too.
