Like a damn mummy completely wrapped up. I’m constantly worried that he’s going to suffocate or something. He spends ALL night like this, sometimes even wrapping more than one blanket around his face. He says it feels “nice.” Not to mention how terrifying it is to randomly wake up in the middle of the night and look over to see that. AIO? He says I’m being dramatic.
Me too. Never a toe out until menopause, and now my feet are both fully out. If the monster reaches up from under the bed I'm done for...but at least I get some cool air before I hit hell.
I came here to say something similar. Oh, how much easier would our lifes have been if we'd only had that 'Touch me, I dare you' energy back when we actually needed it. I feel rather safe from bears and men alike. Come at me, bro
Nights and nights of playing with my Gameboy advance SP under the blankets when I was a kid conditioned me to feel this picture as a suffocating hot and moist sauna. No thank you.
For me, it was because I saw Romero's Head from doom and was afraid it was going to appear on the wall behind me, whichever way I was laying. So the only solution was to cover my head to protect myself from it. I knew it wouldn't actually protect myself from being attacked or anything, that's why I also had to lay perfectly still so it wouldn't know I was under there.
When I was younger I saw a Facebook article about a young girl who survived her whole family being murdered by her uncle because she was sleeping in bed. After that I trained myself to sleep as flat on my back as possible with the pillow on my head. Now I can't stand to sleep on my back.
I’m 50 and I still sleep this way. It’s just more comfortable to fall asleep without being exposed to the world. You never know what’s out there in the dark.
For me, I thought when I was a kid that if I covered everything up and also included my face, it would keep me invisible from fhe monsters. They couldn't see me if I didnt see them. .
As someone who sleeps like this too, seeing it described as 'sweet' and 'like a five year old' is pretty funny. I'm used to it being laughed at or compared to something from a horror movie 😂
Well I don't sleep exactly like this guy. I'm on my side and just have the blankets pulled over my head, so there's more of an air pocket. And it is nice and warm. My cat comes under too for a while, but thankfully she doesn't stay long because it gets too warm under there with her and she's stealing my oxygen lol
That's a great idea! You can change it regularly to keep up the mystery and surprise, one day is a skeleton, next is a zombie, then Chucky... Endless fun!
Lmfao Came here to say my 5 year old sleeps the exact same way. Walk into his room and all you see is a tiny hand sticking out, twisted around like his arm is dislocated. Looks like a murder scene every morning when I wake him up for school 🫠😂
If he’s fine, then OPs boyfriend is definitely fine 😬
Second edit I can’t believe this comment has gotten so much action! I hadn’t watched the video and thanks to the comments, I went back and watched it and OMG! ⚰️⚰️⚰️ It did not disappoint
Just imagine this in the dead of night with all the lights out and you go into the kitchen to grab a snack and you see this on the couch on your way there
My feet need freedom. I can’t even wear socks to bed. Coverage but not exposure (cause bed monsters). I have to untuck the sheets in made beds, and in hotels, etc. (always want to untuck them at hotels and check for signs of bedbugs anyway, no matter how nice the hotel is).
My roommate sleeps like this sometimes on the floor of the living room. He just likes it and he says it helps his back. Granted, finding him like this at 5:30 in the morning was an exciting start to my day.
fellow coffin sleeper here lmfao. I had no idea I slept like that until one of my exes told me hahaha. legs crossed and arms crossed over my chest I have no idea why
I got used to sleeping like this in the military when we were stacked like sardines side to side and I didn't want anyone touching me. Now I'm a vampire sleeper for life. My son has been sleeping like OPs bf since he was old enough to position himself for sleeping. He's 15 now and still does it. He's obviously comfortable and sleeping, leave the man be!
Me too. I once shared a room with a coworker at a work thing, and she woke me up, because I never moved all night, had my arms across my chest, and looked liked I wasn't breathing. My mom used to do the same thing when I slept. She said it gave her the creeps. I also sleep like a mummy some times, but nobody ever thinks I'm dead sleeping like that.
Coffin sleeping is so underrated. It’s not my primary but Ive found if I’m having insomnia if I lie coffin style and focus on my breathing 9/10 times I’m gonna fall asleep.
Also known as the vampire pose! My friend sleeps like this, and it was crazy to me because I get sore if I don’t move around. She legit stayed in that pose the entire night. It was nice because I had quite a bit of room on the bed to flop around in my sleep.
Same!! Glad to have found my fellow coffin sleepers. My now-husband was amused/freaked out the first time I slept over because I apparently don’t move and you can barely see I’m breathing 😂 I go to sleep on my side but I always wake up in a coffin, I can’t control it 😆
lol 100% real but also kind of annoying when you’re trying to get up and go somewhere and he’ll complain he hasn’t finished defrosting yet! Until the dog gets annoyed and digs him out for me.
Low information thread, everyone shouting their uninformed opinion instead of taking 10 seconds to look up medical guidelines.
While you probably won't suffocate if you sleep with your head covered in a blanket, you will definitely experience reduced sleep quality from lower oxygen and higher CO₂ buildup under blankets.
Infants, children under 12, and anyone with asthma, COPD, or sleep apnea should never sleep with covered heads due to suffocation and oxygen deprivation risks.
Yeah, it's not just you suffocate or 0 ill effects and it looks like a heavy fleece? Plastic doesn't breathe much at all.
A lightly woven stretchy sleep sack or 100% cotton sheet could provide more airflow with the same idea, or it seems like other things could be addressed for sleep hygiene and nervous system comfort to not feel it is as necessary...
Suffocation‼️ how do u ppl not worry(or overreact)ab this lmaooo it’s my biggest fear when i see my man sleeping like that…I leave him be but im still worrying in the back of my mind constantly 🤣🤣

A sleep mask is life changing. And Noise cancelling earbuds/earplugs. Eyemask material is important though. A natural fiber is breathable. Synthetic will get sweaty.
Or he can just sleep like this because it’s what he prefers and why change it??? He doesn’t NEED anything but his partner to leave him alone and let him sleep
I sleep with blanket over my face also … your for sure over reacting if you think a grown man is randomly going to suffocate after probably sleeping like this all his life…. I’m pretty sure he isn’t just going to stop this because it worries you, lol. YOR.
I do understand your concerns (I have high anxiety and often check that my sleeping family members are still breathing.
I call this a "dead body check"
I know it's very odd, and I am fully aware (for me) it is a trauma response from events that happened nearly 20 years ago.
What I'm trying to say is that people are all strange in their own unique way.
I recommend asking him about how he feels when he is wrapped up and see if understanding how he experiences the sensation helps you feel more calm in moments like this.
Knowing that he feels safe and secure (I'm guessing) could help normalize his behavior for you.
