Late night confession
I sometimes still sleep with stuffed animals.
Well, actually, I use a little throw pillow at home, but my sister just gave me this Yoda, who is pretty sweet. So I may regress back in to that habit…
Or maybe not. I woke up with Yoda’s gray hairs all over my pajamas this morning and that was kind of weird.
When I was a freshmen and sophomore in college, I slept with Stitch (from Lilo & Stitch). Then I made Minou (the cat) my junior year, and slept with her until I moved to Illinois in May of 2007… and Data promptly destroyed her. Then I started using a small pillow.
When did you stop sleeping with stuffed animals (if ever)?
I don’t know why I like having something in my arms when I sleep. Is that weird?!

I slept with stuffies when I was a kid, but I STILL sleep with my baby blanket! Unless I’m sleeping with a boyfriend, of course. I love my blanket! And I love your Yoda!!
I like having something in my arms when I sleep, too. I sleep with a stuffed bear that my best friend gave me 20 years ago. He is just the perfect squishiness.
I sleep with a little pillow too. I think it’s normal – especially for women with larger shoulders. It helps open up the chest while we’re sleeping so our shoulders don’t collapse in on themselves. That way, we can breath better…
I had a bear that I slept with for a long time, maybe 10 years? It was sometime in the past 6 years that I finally got rid of it and stopped sleeping with something in my arms. It took a while to get used to and I sometimes use a pillow if I need some sort of support for my arm. I don’t think I could sleep with a stuffed animal again though because Delilah would tear it apart in a heartbeat.
You are such a weirdo! 🙂 I sleep very awkwardly holding my pillow that I am sleeping on with both arms.
haha Yoda is so cute! I don’t remember when I stopped sleeping with my childhood teddy bear….maybe college? 🙂 I HAVE to have something in my arms at night, too! Since college that has been my body pillow (I call it my “husband pillow”). 😉
I was never a stuffed animal kind of girl. But I’ve been spooning at night with one of our dogs for awhile now…love it but it drives The Caveman nuts….makes me love it more!
I still sleep with a stuffed animal every night. 🙂
oh gosh, stuffed animals are totally fine in my book, but YODA???!!! hahaha. You are clearly a child of the 80’s.
I was recently reunited with my “blankie”, that I slept with from ages 2 until 18. I now use it every night again. I think we never reallllly grow up. I’m still a kid.
Aww. I had a favorite thing when I was a kid too – it was a stuffed cat my grandma made, and I took it around like it was my blankie. I wonder where it is!
The funny thing is, I did not start liking Star Wars until the re-release in 1997!
I did all through college and post-college until I was told I had allergies and that the nasty teddy bear I cuddled might be a contributor to my breathing issues 😉 Now I use a pillow!
I never really slept with a stuffed animal big enough to cuddle but for years I had my stuffed polar bear, Snowy, on my bed with me. That Yoda is pretty cute and the perfect size for snuggling. Just tell him to stop shedding!
I still sleep with my teddy bear. 🙂
I use a throw pillow now, but forever I had Little Foot. I had to quick him out because it just got too crowded with a Husband and a Cat. : )
I sleep with a regular pillow. I am a stomach sleeper, but now that I’m pregnant it’s beginning to feel funny. I sleep on my side with the pillow against my chest/stomach. The pressure makes me feel like I’m on my stomach and helps me sleep.
I have to sleep with something too! I just started sleeping with a small blanket from the couch, and it’s worked pretty well so far. I slept with the same stuffed animal from when I was a kid until I got married – my husband still thinks I’m strange for it, but I don’t care 🙂
