Random Esq. has a great post on sleep quirks with some comments that had me rolling. What are your quirks (generally, not just sleep-related). Here are mine:
1) I cannot use the same washcloth twice.
2) I change my pillowcase every other day – sleep on ne side, then the other, then change. Can’t stand sleeping on dirty pillowcases.
3) I cannot sleep spooning or with pressure on any part of my body. Must sleep alone and on the left side of the bed.
4) I DETEST the sound of people chewing. Cannot eat with noisy chewers (or noisy people generally – no pencils tapping.
5) I take EVERYTHING to heart. Don’t tell me you need shelter unless you want to stay with me or a product unless you want me to buy it. I probably will. Yes, working on it…
6) I cannot be without music. Have it playing CONSTANTLY.
7) You can’t take me to a bookstore. I am dangerous and will spend my whole week’s budget without thinking twice (until I get home). Amazon is my crack.
I have to have whipped cream on my Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte. Yes, I know, it completely defeats the purpose but 2% milk makes me sick and so does sugar. Cancel those out, add a little whip and I’m a happy girl.
9) I cannot stand it when a guy comes up behind me and grabs me from behind. It freaks me out (bad experience when I was 15). I had to quit a job after this one attorney I worked for kept coming up behind my desk and leaning over/putting his hands on my shoulder to give me instructions and wouldn’t stop when I asked both him and HR. And I still can’t stand it. I’ll tolerate it but I always jump a bit at first.
10) I don’t wear white. Ever. Unless it’s forced participation in some kind of charitable event. And then I cringe the whole time.



1. Do people use the same washcloth twice? I didn’t even know that. I think we’re normal!
2. Okay, yeah, that’s very interesting! I wash my sheets once a week.
3. Pretty much agree – for me, it’s a heat thing. It’s just too warm to sleep like that for too long.
4. AMEN.
5. That’s sort of cute. heh.
6. Total opposite. I have to be in a mood for music. This, despite playing 4 instruments. Sometimes, I think listening to it reminds me of what I gave up so I generally prefer NPR.
7. Viva la amazon!
8. Straight coffee for this kid.
9. Dude. Can’t say I’d dig that, either.
10. I own a lot of white shirts. No white pants. That just seems…well, not me.
Thanks for the link.
