I've had my 'nappies' for as long as I can remember. Basically they're terry cloth towels, (no other fabric would suffice) that I need to snuffle and snuggle and I wouldn't be able to get to sleep without them.

I pull them across my face and rock my head from side-to-side. I've done this since I was a baby I would apparently pull my cot blanket over my head and rock, my mum thought I was suffocating at first.

I'm now 31, no plans to ever get rid of them now, but I just wondered if there are others out there who need to have something like that to snuggle into?

ok huge age gap but my 5 year old can't live without 'blue teddy'. Thankfully now tho he will leave it at home (most of the time) but I have to make sure I have a plastic clothes peg in my bag whenever we are out so if he gets stressed he can chew it.

I had a blankie when I was little.... until about 5 i think. It was the one they sent me home from the hospital in. raggedy old thing, I still have it somewhere.

then I picked up another one when I was about 7. It was a king size water bed blanket that I couldn't sleep without. most comfortable thing in the world. (mom finally managed to get rid of it when I was 16 or 17).

I love snuggle stuff. I steal my boyfriend's clothes so i can snuggle to them when he isn't here.

When I got rid of the blanket I had been using since I was an infant around the age of thirteen I was very unhappy. However, a year or so ago I got this fuzzy blanket that fits me better now. I love it, I'm wrapped up in it right now.

I sleep with a little red pillow that's half full of little plastic pellets. I call it my "special pillow". I have a lot of trouble falling asleep without it. My mom gave it to me a few years ago when she worked at night and told me to hug it when I missed her.

I also sleep with a thin little blanket that rests on tops of my other blankets on my bed. It has an intricate red, black, gray and white pattern on it. It was also given to me by my mom around Christmas time a few years ago.

Although I am female, I wear half a pound of alarm chronograph on my left wrist. When my last one died, I tried a lightweight Timex. Had anxiety.

I've had my blanket since I was a baby. I sleep with it to this day, 26 years later.

I have a teddy cat that I sleep with she doesn't need to go with me if I am staying overnight somewhere though that took a lot of time however.

I never ever ever had a comfort object. I know many other kids had them and I know for a fact that many people my age (about 20 years) still have their comfort cuddly toys.
