Do you sleep with a teddy?

Post Reply New Topic

I packed my teddy away years ago, but just lately I feel I would like to get him out. He was packed away because I felt I was getting too old for them

I love sleeping with a teddy though. Something warm to hug when it's cold.

Once in a while I still do, If I can't sleep.

No. Never had any sort of attachment to teddy bears. I do always sleep while hugging my pillow, though.

oh yeah, im 14, and im still totally in love with my teddies. they're collectibles from the build a bear workshop!! i sleep with the one called pinky... and i dress the other up from time to time. it concerns my mother

Nope. I never really liked to. I would surround myself with stuffed animals when I was scared or lonely, but I've never really slept with any teddy bear or stuffed animal.

Yeah, I've slept with a teddy penguin since I was about 9 years old called Pinga. About a year ago I gave him a wash in the washing machine because I realised he hadn't had a wash in all those years.

I started sleeping with a teddy bear after my Nana gave it to me as a present the last time she came out to visit, which was about 5 months ago. I've grown attached to it, just like I became attached to my special blanket and pillow, which I also sleep with every night. Here is a pic of all three:



My teddy bear doesn't have a name, so anyone on this forum is more than welcome to name it for me.

Yes, I sleep with my teddy bear everytime I feel lonely or just during summer because I cannot "hug" my blanket and I enjoy "hugging" something when I sleep. My teddy bear is called Louis and I've chosen him because he is soft and smooth. My favourite plush is actually a cat named Timmy but his eyes hurt me.

I also sucked my thumb during the 8 first years of my life (until my mother throw my favourite plush to the garbage, well... I mean it's ear , it was kind of a ritual I needed to sleep) so I am a little childish...

As a child, I tried to sleep with a teddy, because I wanted to pretend normal. But I didn't know what to do with a teddy and I found it on the floor every morning. So I gave up.
Now I prefer alive person than teddy, but it's hard to have them. They're not available on Ebay

Not any more, but I was very attached to my teddy. We'd have fantasy adventures at night based on the TV shows I'd seen.....I also had Golly and a dog called Dinky, but I was closer to Teddy. I remember my parents commenting that I was too old for soft toys and that Teddy was falling to bits, and I'd get really upset and they had to back off. Of course I used to cuddle him at night..we would always go to sleep wrapped in each other's arms. I stopped sleeping with him when I was abuut 12, but resolved never to part form him. I've still got him now, he's in the loft, but one of his legs is missing. My girlfriend taught small children and she used to borrow him as a prop for her lessons. She called him Theodore, which I didn't like because it wasn't his name, his name was Teddy. But she made him some new clothes so he probably got the best of the deal. And she knitted a cuddly elephant for me.

I was very loyal to my cuddly toys, even the rudimentary ones I'd made myself.. My mum threw some of them away but I rescued them from the bin and hid them in a small cave I'd hacked out of the garden rockery. They were in there right through the Xmas holidays and I felt guilty that they'd be cold, and I went out to keep them company every few hours. Mum didn't dare throw Teddy away though. I was always a pretty obedient child but she knew that she'd be pushing her luck if she messed with Teddy.

I've still got it in mind to restore him. When my son was small we decided we'd do that one day. I'm still looking for that missing leg though.

Real animals are a more socially acceptable thing for adults to sleep "with" (even if they're just snoozing on the bed somewhere). It's nice to hear them breathing and to feel them snuggling up to you for warmth. A friend of mine says her cat is currently being a real comfort in the morning when she wakes up - she's recently broken up with her partner - and I'm wondering if I can get my neighbour's cat to help me out in the same way. He'd probably go for it but it's a matter of making sure he can get out of the house without my having to compromise security.

I am a teddy bear. I'm Mick Avory. I wake up hugging myself, sometimes. I sleep with a big teddy bear. I also sleep with my green blanket.

I sleep with my Clifford.

I have a Teddy Bear that is 32 years old and still in great condition. I used to sleep with it regularly until I left for college at which point it stayed at home waiting patiently for me. I don't sleep with it now but it is still near the bed. I also happened to have a family member come across an identical Teddy with out it's special jacket and they brought him home for me too. My Teddy has a sibling. I named my original Teddy Pooky. The other one is Pooky Too.

My mother bought me a Winnie the Pooh teddy but I call him "Little Panda". I slept with him a few times then I realized I was allergic to dust and tought it was better have him removed from my room.

He is just like this one:

never did.
