Lately, I've slept in a hotel, sofa bed, cruise ship, air mattress, floor, and my bed. So, my normal bedtime routine has been askew. Which made me think of a few questions for you!

1. How tall is your regular bed?
2. Do you read before bed?
3. Lights on or lights off?
4. Lots of blankets or no blankets?
5. How many pillows?
 
1. How tall is your regular bed?
Currently, our mattress sits on the floor, so about 8 inches.
2. Do you read before bed?
Yes, or do a logic puzzle. Dh prefers to watch a video.
3. Lights on or lights off?
Lights off! All of them.
4. Lots of blankets or no blankets?
I like a blanket over me in the summer, and 2 in the winter. I'm always colder than everyone else.
5. How many pillows?
2. One squishy, 1 firm. And I alternate which one is on top.
 
1. How tall is your regular bed?
I measured and it's 56 cm (±22 inches)

2. Do you read before bed?
Usually not. But I'm trying to get into a new routine where I will.

3. Lights on or lights off?
Off of course. I do have a street light right across from my bedroom window, so it's never really dark in here.

4. Lots of blankets or no blankets?
I like to be warm. :) So right now I have the autumn duvet in my cover. I have a 4-seasons duvet set. Plus I have flanel bed covers in winter.

5. How many pillows?
Two on my bed. But I only use one.
 
1. How tall is your regular bed? I measured. :giggle From the floor . . . Headboard: 50" Mattress: 23" Footboard: 38" I think it's the style called "sleigh bed." We bought it in 2000 upon moving into this house, before we had kids so we had money. ;)
2. Do you read before bed? Yes, but usually just Facebook because I wait to go to bed until I'm too sleepy to read anything important.
3. Lights on or lights off? Off
4. Lots of blankets or no blankets? Lots in the winter, just one in the summer.
5. How many pillows? 2 or 3, but only one is under my head; the extras are for leaning against while awake and reading or whatever
 
1. How tall is your regular bed? um, standard bed height before those high beds became popular

2. Do you read before bed? I used to all the time. Now I just go to sleep - too tired.

3. Lights on or lights off? All of them off please.

4. Lots of blankets or no blankets? Comforter year around and extra blankets in the winter. MIL got us fleece sheets last year for the winter - oh my soooo cozy - no cold sheets to hop into.

5. How many pillows? Just one memory foam curved one. I take it with me when I travel.
 
1. How tall is your regular bed?
No idea, I'm not home to measure it (we're at the trailer this wkend) but its probably whatever standard is.d

2. Do you read before bed?
No, I watch TV, something that doesn't require my full attention and I can start to drift off as I listen.

3. Lights on or lights off?
Definitely all lights off.

4. Lots of blankets or no blankets? I used to use a comforter and light blanket but since the comforter always slides off me and then I get cold, I tried a soft blanket with a coverlet overtop and that seems to be working perfectly. Got the idea from a youtube video about bedding.

5. How many pillows?
For sleeping, I use 1 b/c I have arthritis in my lower neck and it gets sore if I prop it up too much but if watching TV for awhile I will use two and then toss one aside when falling asleep.
 
1. How tall is your regular bed? I have no clue and I'm too lazy to go get the measuring tape upstairs. ROFL

2. Do you read before bed? Sometimes.

3. Lights on or lights off? OFF please, dark as possible!

4. Lots of blankets or no blankets? Just one until winter hits, then 2 plus sheet

5. How many pillows? 1 for me, and like 5 billion for hubby. ROFL

That made me giggle! The stereotype is always the opposite.

Yes it usually works the other way....but I only need one. He has so many, he literally builds a nest in our bed of pillows and covers and stuff. It's crazy! ROFL....
and now that I just typed that, I have to make a page about it one day!

I laughed when I read your original post about the 5 billion pillows. Yes, please make a page about it! :rollin
 
1. How tall is your regular bed? Ummmm...tall? LOL! I have no idea and my husband is already in bed so I'm not about to try to measure it.
2. Do you read before bed? Sometimes but not in a while
3. Lights on or lights off? Off...but the tv is usually on
4. Lots of blankets or no blankets? one blanket
5. How many pillows? two for me and two for the hubby
 
1. How tall is your regular bed?
It's tall...I have to literally climb in to bed. I meant to measure earlier today and didn't get a chance.

2. Do you read before bed?
Can't do it. I never get but a page or two in and I'm sound asleep. It's an exercise in futility. I usually browse Instagram and watch Insta-stories before I set the alarm and turn off the lights.

3. Lights on or lights off?
Off! I have to go to bed before DH because he always turns on a movie or something and I can't get to sleep with lights and noise. Maybe I need to read at those times lol

4. Lots of blankets or no blankets?
One blanket most of the time. Bunches in the winter.

5. How many pillows?
We each have 3 and sleep with 2.
 
1. How tall is your regular bed? 19"
2. Do you read before bed? Does scrolling through FB count as reading LOL
3. Lights on or lights off? Off...I need to get blackout curtains
4. Lots of blankets or no blankets? 1 sheet for 99% of the year; when we get cold I need the sheet, comforter and a blanket
5. How many pillows? I need 2
 
1. How tall is your regular bed?
Um...just above knee height. The base is mid-calf, which I can tell because I have a perpetual bruise on one leg from running into it at 5am when feeding the baby.

2. Do you read before bed?
Yep. I'm not supposed to, but I have been known to still be reading four hours later.

3. Lights on or lights off?
Off, but with the phone in reach as an emergency torch.

4. Lots of blankets or no blankets?
Lots of blankets. As many blankets as I can get away with.

5. How many pillows?
Three.
 
1. How tall is your regular bed? very tall ... my two smallest dogs need to jump on nearby chairs to get up there.
2. Do you read before bed? sometimes, usually I am decompressing from my day with a little TV ... news or a show or two
3. Lights on or lights off? off ... and blinds completely closed. I like it dark.
4. Lots of blankets or no blankets? only the minimal blankets needed to feel comfy. I'm usually hot at night.
5. How many pillows? like 6 if I am propped up watching TV ... otherwise I just like one to sleep.
 
1. How tall is your regular bed? it must be a bit higher than normal cause I have to semi climb into it with the memory foam topper
2. Do you read before bed? I used to but now I read downstairs with himself from post dinner to 8pm and then watch tv (Netflix or recorded shows) til 10 pm and while I sometimes take a book upstairs to bed, by the time I get into bed I usually realize there is no way I'll stay awake any longer
3. Lights on or lights off? OFF
4. Lots of blankets or no blankets? 1 down duvet year round
5. How many pillows? two
 
1. How tall is your regular bed? Umm regular height from the floor for a queen sized bed - whatever height that is

2. Do you read before bed? More often than not

3. Lights on or lights off? Off, but the hall bathroom light is on for the kids or the stove light if DH isn't here...

4. Lots of blankets or no blankets? Lots (like 3 in winter/chilly spring nights) plus the electric blanket plus my dressing gown over the top so i can grab it in the morning to ease the transition out of bed! i dont deal with cold, you guys can keep your snow, i have no interest in cold enviro's

5. How many pillows? there's 3 decorative pillows on the bed and they're all mine overnite plus the normal pillow - i maintain 3 is not an excessive amount of decorative pillows!

Bonus question - do you have wooden bed posts at the foot of the bed and how often do you run into them? why yes i do! And at least once a day!:banghead
