Do you still have a toy you sleep with?

Post Reply New Topic

I sleep with my ipod, I doubt it counts... I have toys (plushies) on what would generally be called a bed, but I don't sleep there.

I've the head leftovers from a doll I owned at the age of 3. I only liked the smell of its hair, so I ripped the head off and kept it with me in bed since.

In the near 10 years or so, I've had it close to my bed in case I'd need comfort while laying in bed. I'd never throw it away.

I have five teddies lying in on bed -- they were just too soft to resist

When I was a kid I kept all of my stim toys under my pillow (there was a ton of toys) and I would also sleep with at least one stuffed animal, a Teddy Bear named Fozzy and Odie from the Garfield cartoons. I also had a blanket that I couldn't go to sleep without. It had the false silk edging that so many blankets have. I use to rub my fingers against it as I fell asleep. As I got older I whittled down my stim toys to just three old action figure toys I've had since I was a little kid, which sit on the table next to my bed. My teddy bear, which sits on the floor next to my bed, always there if I need him, and just an old false silk edging from an old blanket, that I still rub between my fingers when I fall asleep, or when I am really stressed out.

I still have it dont sleep with it any more, because its so old, i really cant take much more people it will start to crack, the stuffing will come out and such, i have even replaced the eyes with some buttons when i was younger, very special for me, will keep it forever.

Its very special indeed. i do believe it is or close to 28 years old now, might be 1 or 2 years less but still quite old!. and really dont wanna risk ruining it by sleeping with it.



I have wondered, is there placed that can renew teddies, and have anyone consider getting that done, im not entirely sure if it would still be the same :S

I mean i know people get their old cars all fixed and made look like new.

I sleep with a ton of plushies in my bed...the ones that sleep right next to me are Dory, my dolphin, Kaa from The Jungle Book, Francesco Bernoulli from Cars 2, a Puffalump - style rabbit, and Truffles, a Blue Nosed Friends pig.

Not really a toy, but a certain fuzzy throw pillow that is soft and squishy and just perfect for cuddling up to.

I have ten stuffed animals of varying size and species living on my bed with me, and I generally sleep with three of them -- my bear, my elephant and my rabbit -- and my old blue blanket. For me it's mostly a physical security thing; I can't sleep unless there's squeezing pressure on my chest, and my animals are the perfect size for it, I've always found throw pillows too big to get my arms comfortably around.

I like sleeping with one of my many toy cats.

I sleep alone on a king sized bed and there are dozens of objects beside me. A few stuffed toys but I almost never touch them. I only ever hold a ginger cat sometimes. It's very big and menacing looking. A couple of alarm clocks that I'm very attached to. Loads of books, many pillows, mirror, medicine, pencil, pencil sharpener, ruler and paper, various hair accessories, oh and a cast iron frying pan. I never used it but I like to sleep with a heavy frying pan. I figured it's better than a knife. Changing sheets is a major project.

My dad (aspie) is similar, his bed is full of pillows and objects. You frequently can't see him in bed when he's sleeping, as he's very skinny and usually hidden behind piles. I don't think he has any stuffed toys, though.

Yes as much as I hate to admit it. A yellow pony thingie with a carrot sticking out the corner of its mouth

Any of the following:
Heinrich (a MAK 90) (unloaded of course -- I am even considering using Mikhail (a Yugoslavian AK) instead, so as to not have to constantly make sure it is safe prior to stimming with it (Mikhail has never been used).
A Picatinny rail mount that belongs to a friend's AirSoft AK (I like the texture -- I need to get myself one because he wants me to put it on his AirSoft gun now)
Various rounds (my poor .50 caliber round looks like it's seen far more than war, as I have tarnished the brass from excessive handling).

I also keep many objects nearby that I can conveniently reach for if I need them.

I've always slept with stuffed animals, I still do. There's usually at least one on my bed, sometimes I sleep holding it, sometimes not. My favorite ones to sleep with have changed over time. Now, my favorite is a really soft, big green frog that my fiance gave me.

When I got my own apartment, I donated most of my stuffed animals, but I've kept the ones that are special to me. I have my favorite rabbit that I slept with as a child, and this penguin that I slept with a lot as a teen. I've got those sitting in my bedroom. I'm 25, and I have no intention of getting rid of them.

I don't sleep with toys anymore, and I'm okay with that.

It's been many, many years since I slept with a stuffed toy. Recently, however, I've settled for a second pillow in lieu of a significant other.
