I sleep with my [single] bed against the wall. Years ago after
babysitting for friends I slept in their spare bedroom, and did fall
out of bed - presumably because the wall wasn't there.

I caught my foot on something sharp and a few days later it had
ballooned up. At the casualty:

Q: How did this happen
A: I fell out of bed
Q: Was it your own bed
A: No
Q: OK I won't ask you for any more details.

Just because you're asleep, all your bodily functions don't cease. You'd
be dead if they did. Only a tiny part of them are put on 'standby' The
rest remain active.

It's exceedingly rare for anyone normal to fall out of bed, I don't know why
some people are so obsessed about it - mainly parents and bunk bed makers.
That's why upper bunk beds are so difficult and, I think, dangerous to climb
in and out of.

When we stay with one of our offspring we sleep in one of the girl's rooms,
I use the top bunk because I don't get up as often as Spouse does through
the night.

I hate it.

Same in Youth Hostels.

I'd rather sleep on the floor.

Don't worry about falling out of bed, it doesn't happen.

Sits back and waits for stories of people falling out every night ...

LOL - I often wake myself up when I get too close to the edge, but haven't
fallen out as an adult.

My youngest often used to fall out of bed - we bought him a loft bed and
thankfully he can't fall out any more.

I used to fall out of bed as a child and was firmly tucked in with
sheets... (Or was I just told I fell out of bed and tucked in to stop
me mooching my way downstairs at 11pm?)

I have never fallen out of bed (that I can remember, although this
might be pointing to hitting head on floor?)

If you are concerned either (a) get cushions aplenty and put them
round the bed on the floor, or (b) make the bed lower to the floor or
(c) get a top sheet and tuck it in tightly.

You might not be alone if you do though.

What actually stops us falling out of bed -

In the sense of "The weight of British taxation is borne by us" (and not
speaking for HMtQ of whom hopefully the statement is true)

My solution so far - worry about it and put a pillow on the floor in case.
Should I be certified?

Our Brat 2 used to fall out of bed regularly, and also used to turn 180
degrees in the bed. One evening I went upstairs after hearing the latest
THUD to find her room apparently empty - she'd fallen out of bed, rolled
under it, and continued to sleep. She was disappointed when we wouldn't
let her sleep in the top bunk on the Harry Chook ferry.

I thought I saw on the telly recently that we become partially
paralysed when we sleep to stop us acting out fights and beating up
the missus / girlfriend / partner / dog etc.

And when does this break down and deposit us unawares
on the floor - nightmares?

Possibly .. nightmares might overpower the partial paralysis?

Drink? This has been playing on my mind. Any ideas?

I would have thought drink would make you sleep heavier so less chance
of falling out of bed?

I spent most of my childhood in a top bunk bad and can't remember ever
falling ou. We currently have a foam mattress in an ex waterbed frame
(quite high like yours) so there is a 'slight' wooden edge that you
might sense in your subconscious? Mind you, it is a 'King size' (I'm
6' 2") ;-)

I built a single bed across the top half of our box room, first for my
stepdaughter and now my daughter. It has a 6" raised outer edge and I
can't remember anyone falling out of it .. even with two of them in
there (sleepovers etc). It's about 5' 6" from the floor (served with a
small flight of stairs not a ladder) so I think we would hear if
someone fell out!

Any solutions?

High sides?

I have a single bed.

A bigger bed ?

Sleep well ..

As always, I have a solution.

When you go to bed, take a sleeping pill and a Viagra tablet.
The sleeping pill will send you into a deep sleep.
The Viagra will stop you rolling out of bed.
Simple!

Well, they're anecdotal, not peer reviewed research so as valuable as what's
opined here.

Before I read them I'd thought about babies. If they sleep in a pram or cot
they're contained of course but if they sleep on the floor they don't
travel, in a large bed they don't fall out - both in my experience. I've had
a lot of experince.

Spouse insists on cuddling up to me

I try the same with my Missus and she insists I'm burning her ..
(she's going through that 'womans thing' .. it might just be an excuse
..) I can't help being hot blooded! Can you knit us a bolster please
Mary?

Knit your own! My poor old arthritic fingers don't do knitting any more.

I noticed that you can buy bolsters again - but can't think where from.

The trouble with bolsters is that you can't get ready-made cases to
match the duvet cover and pillowcases.


If it's used as a body separator does it matter?

In fact, does it matter at all?

Oh - I know some people can make their own... :-)

It's about time someone brought the thread back on topic. Oh - it didn't
start on topic did it ... ?

This isn't a new Prescott wheeze for higher density cemeteries is
it? g

the epitaph then reading "Upright - In death as in life"

Mine can read "planning permission for life extension was refused"
