Back to Bed

1. Let's say your alarm wakes you up with music. What would be the worst song to hear first thing in the morning?

When I was in college, there were a few weeks that they played the Pointer Sisters version of "Jump" every morning just as the clock radio came on. It certainly got us up and out of the room fast! 

2. How many pillows do you sleep with?

I sleep with one, but there are four on my bed, along with two beanie babies, an Ikea snake puppet that's about 4' long and a 2' tall Ikea octopus. The latter is my sentry, but the others are all under the covers with me.

3. What size mattress do you sleep on?

I sleep on a ridiculous king-size bed, split top. It's super-comfy, but far too big. On the other hand, I currently--along with the octopus--have two laundry baskets and a box of CPAP parts on the 'empty' side.

4. Do you always sleep on the same side of the bed?

I do. I need to swap sides one of these days. I try to do that periodically just for funsies.

5. Do you make your bed every day?

I don't even change my bed as often as I really ought to anymore. The only time I pull the covers up in the daytime is if I'm taking a nap on top of them.

6. Do you keep water on your bedside table?

I do not. I will spill it, and I will also never change it so it gets gross. I almost always have to get up in the night to pee, so I grab a slurp of water after washing my hands. 

7. How often do you change your sheets?

Up until the last few years, I changed them weekly, like clockwork. Now I change them when I start to feel disgusting getting into bed, usually 2 weeks-ish.

8. What's under your bed?

A great deal of dust. Maybe a pen. Or a sock.

9. Do you sleep in total darkness or do you like to have a light on?

Light doesn't bother me at all while I sleep. I can't see without my glasses so light doesn't matter anyway, so the hall light, on the timer, goes off and comes on as it is programmed and I ignore it completely.

10. What do you remember about your childhood bedroom?

I had two, one when I was really little and then I moved 'next door' when my brother moved downstairs as a teen. That room was the originally master bedroom so it was good-sized in the corner with a cross-breeze. The little bedroom had a weird-shaped closet to account for the curved hallway, and it always confused me (object permanence and architectural design being beyond me as a toddler). It seems to me I had Jesus in Gethsemane praying on the wall over my bed in there. Also, I seem to remember it being pink. I demanded GOLD (yellow) in the new bedroom when I moved and still don't like pink much.
