Help! What is happening when I'm sleeping at night? so bizarre


Hi all,

I know this will be a strange question but I'm hoping I'm not the only one who experiences this or at least, maybe someone can give me some insight onto why this happens.

For the past few months, I've noticed the following (and for the record, I sleep alone in a queen sized bed, very comfy - good mattress & box spring plus a memory foam on top of mattress, I love my bed! -- oh, I love to sleep alone, love to have my bed all to myself. It's been 18 months since exN and I split and we never did live together though spent many nights at one another's place)......I wake up in the morning and all of my bedding is TOTALLY shifted to the right side of my bed, so much so that I'm barely covered up.

It's bizarre. I sleep with a lot of blankets (like to keep my house cool at night but like a lot of "weight" of blankets); top sheet, thermal blanket, heavy quilt/comforter, then another large top fleece blanket. It's all pretty heavy.

When I wake up, it's like someone stood on the right side of the bed and really "pulled" all of the bedding over to that side.

this morning I woke up to find the top sheet pulled right out from under all the blankets, almost in a ball on top of me. I'd woken up early because I was cold; because all the blankets were shifted way over to the right side of the bed and there was very little covering me.

I've never thought I was a restless sleeper. Sure, I change positions a fair bit but to take all of the bedding with me when I turn over? It would truly take a lot of heavy pulling to pull my stack of bedding as far as it gets shifted. I just don't get this.

Anybody have any ideas?

Anybody else ever experience this?

I don't have restless leg syndrome, not that I'm aware of.

when I get into bed each night I ensure all of the blankets and bedding is all in proper place too.

Thx

Well, I have had the waking-up freezing, actually shivering myself awake, really chilled to the bone, but in my case it was when I was sleeping in my partner's bed (we, too, enjoy the delight of living alone), and eventually I discovered she was gripping the top of the bedding (many layers and weighty, as you also like) with both her hands, holding it closely to her body, and then rolling over, taking the whole lot with her. This action would then be repeated until a sort of tipping point had been reached, and the whole lot of the bedding slid off me in one great move, like a landslide, thus exposing me in one foul move to the bracing winter chill. Everything had gone off me. Like I say, I would wake up totally uncovered with my teeth chattering.

This, of course, does not explain what you describe. I think you suspect what is behind it, but can hardly bear to say it: a ghost is visiting you

It could be explained that there is a ghost at work who experienced what i do at my partners, and feels the need to revenge themselves before their soul can leave this world, ie the ghost feels cold. I think that rather than keep a cool bedroom you should put the heater on, then the ghost may feel warm enough to pass over to the other side.

Another theory could be that you have, because you love your bed so much, been eating your meals in bed, probably watching tv at the same time, and that your regular snack is toast, and these crumbs have built up and irritate you when you are asleep, causing you to do much tossing and turning.

I myself am a sleepwalker. It is not nice. I have walked into other people's bedrooms. The backdoor can somtimes be found left open in the morning. It worries me that i might drive, etc. I am not sure if i do this with my arms out forwards like in the films, and I worry that someone might wake me up in this state because you are not ment to do that. Perhaps you are a sleepwalker, too, and it is you whom is rearranging the bedding.
