sleeping with pillows on top of you

Post Reply New Topic

I don't sleep with pillows on top of me, but I do hug onto a pillow when I do go to sleep. Always from being a little kid I hugged onto a plush doll when I went to sleep, but now I hug onto a pillow to seem more "normal".

I sleep w/ a pillow over my head, can't sleep w/ out it and my daughter burrows under the couch cushions always. Her therapist has suggested a "Foof" chair and a weighted blanket, apparantly this is EXTREAMLY COMMON of people on the spectrum, they make weighted vests, shorts, blankets, neck wraps ect. ect. Trying to get a grant for the Foof chair and a weighted blanket for her.(I KNOW she'll love it)

this is for all the "Weighted Products"

I can't sleep with a pillow on top of me because the blankets MUST be touching me and fitting to my form for me to sleep. However, I do sleep better under lots of blankets, and my sleep improved dramatically after I learned to sleep with a blanket over my eyes and head. I want a weighted blanket really badly, but I can't afford one and I'm not good enough at sewing to make one.

I can't sleep at all with a pillow on top of me... let alone anything over my head or face, it feels uncomfortable, though I will pull the blankets up to my neck to feel cozy.

I use only one pillow but when I sleep on my back I allways put one of my arms on my forehead.

I can relate to this well. I have slept with the pillow on top of me head many times, usually I will sandwich myself between two pillows. However, if no one is going to be home, I may steal about 3 other pillows and sleep on all of them at once. I have a tendency to sleep with at LEAST two blankets, otherwise I am not comfy from lack of pressure. For me, I like using many pillows because they make my head feel better, although I have to position myself in a way that I can breathe properly. I have a strong fixation on my pillow, I use it the same way most children use teddy bears. I like to snuggle/cuddle my pillow a lot because for me, the sensation is heavenly. I like the feel of my pillow, the smell of my pillow, the warmth, the texture, it makes me feel very relaxed and comforted. Sometimes when I am very stressed out I need to carry it around, so there will be times when I am sitting at my computer cuddling my pillow. I know it is odd for a 16 year old boy, but I don't care because it makes me happy

Yea I sleep with pillows on top of me, every night. One usually has to be a down pillow, the other couple are nice plush, and a body pillow haha. I also sleep with one pillow on each side of me, idk why.

I have slept with a blanket on top of my head to help blot out the surroundings in order to make it easier for me to get to sleep.

I bought that pillow too, I lurve that pillow.
Even in the summer heat I need some kind of weight/pressure on top of me- I have found sliding in between tightly tucked in sheets to be a nice comprimise in the summer heat
