-i have to triple lock all my doors ( I unlock then relock)
-i keep a flash light on at the base of my bed pointing under the bed ( habit from childhood... i was severely petrified from stepping on the floor once all lights were out... so my dad came up with that plan...and no worries i use the crank flash light!!)
- i need all doors leading to my room closed but not locked in case of fuego!!!( i have a wierd set up for an apt...)
and of course i sleep with my reader... and i snuggle with my significant otter... but not for too long...

I have a few quirks about sleeping too.... my entire body MUST be covered... if it's not, I get freaked out. I hate feet in particular poking out from under covers. I am a good cover sleeper, I don't move around too much and my covers are always where I put them to start. My significant otter is the opposite. It looks like his half's been ransacked when he wakes up. And he shivers and freezes (yes, even here!) and can't seem to figure out how to put the covers ON him. It's bizarre. I don't let him share my covers. He has his own. Oh, and everything must be checked, especially doors and appliances, at least twice before bed.
I haven't tried melatonin... I don't really have problems sleeping usually, just when I sleep on my back, or I'm stressed out. I'm not big on taking any supplements or meds, which doesn't make sense, since I'm big on things like french fries. Ah, the irony...
