A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), weight loss photos, posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. Weight loss photos go in /r/loseit, DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

A piece of advice (I'm a foot hanger, but I used to tuck the sides in): try, if you can, a memory foam mattress. I switched last year and it's AMAZING, especially if you toss and turn.

The reason I mention it around the burrito is that you warm the foam and sink in, so the burrito becomes unnecessary-- your very mattress cocoons you. It is wonderful.

[–]jonknet 38 points39 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I had to switch back to a normal mattress because I WOULD NEVER GET OUT OF BED!

[–]homergonerson 15 points16 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I imagine sitting up and convincing yourself to get out of bed in the morning can be a challenge.

[–]troglodyte 20 points21 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It totally is. The upside is that I toss and turn less, so I'm actually better rested and more refreshed in the morning, which helps.

I don't think memory foam is for everyone, which is why I say to try it. The mattress holds a lot more heat than a conventional mattress, which some people hate. In addition, the variable firmness throws people off a bit. My mattress is firmer in the winter than the summer, which is just odd (although it gets to a consistent firmness as my bodyheat warms it).

If you're curious, I actually bought a cheap $300 double Serta from BigLots, and it works great. The density is lower than Tempurpedic, and I imagine the quality control is probably shakier, but for me it's been spectacular, and I don't regret the decision at all.

EDIT: added bolded word.

[–]seanjmo 5 points6 points ago

If I shift enough mine gets up and stands on my bed side table until i'm done like "no no, you have woken me up now finish fucking moving so I can get back to sleep". Soon as i stop she waits about 20 seconds then steps back onto the bed.

Ah yes. My wife's allergic, so the cats aren't allowed to touch the sheets; the can sleep on top of the covers, however.

My cat knows I'm a softy, though. He'll creep toward the forbidden zone throughout the night. He sure does scoot when he sees her looking at him, though.

If you're like me, seeing the diagram made me jealous that somebody imagines their bed being that big.

California (duno why that state) Queen/King beds are longer than normal, but I'd imagine anyone over 6'2" or so, finds them too short still.

I got stuck in the back seat of a 90's Mustang when we hit a speed bump. My head got wedged between the rear glass and the headliner, and my knees were stuck in the back of the seat in front of me. We had to pull over and move the seats so I could get unstuck.

I don't know if you've seen the comedian Dara O'Briein, but he perfectly encapsulated the difficulties and irritations present in the lives of the large footed:

"Do you have these in a size 13?"

(shaking head sadly) "I'm afraid you'll have hard time finding shoes in that size."

"Really? That's good to know. Because today is the first day in my entire life that I've had size 13 feet. Just happened this morning."

6'8". Get a queen, sleep diagonal, get larger sheets. WE CAN LIVE AS NORMAL PEOPLE. I do the cocoon as mentioned above... feet tucked, pillow between knees, rolled up in blankets. And then sideways across a queen. Works perfectly.

My fear is real, I didn't start doing the tuck until I got a cat.

When its bed time the cat will go sit at the foot of the bed and wait tell we are all set in bed. Then out of no where your feet will get slashed. She will reach up in the gap and go for the tendons. We have since implemented the tuck, it is our only defense.

My cat used to wait till I was in a deep REM sleep, then he would bite my toes. Then he would take off down the hall super-loudly 'FRUMPUMP, FRUMPUMP' as if to say 'fuck you, I just bit your toes and I'm not even trying to hide it.'

[–]Radico87 41 points42 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Hell yes, The Tuck is necessary to proper sleepies. I feel the need to add in 2 things:

1) Cold temperature within the room is a necessity for me;

2) Going to bed with socks on, then taking them off right before going to sleep (with flannel/fleecy sheets during winter; high thread count during summer -- that makes a difference imho) = pure awesome.

[–]Slubberdegullion 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

OMG I also practice the sock ritual. It's difficult for me to take them off using only my toes and rest of my feet, but I can do it, even if I am mostly asleep. It just gives me charley horses sometimes

[–]devedander 182 points183 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I do the opposite... in a freshly made bed I yank the sheets and balnkets out from under any part of the mattress so they are just entirely sitting on time, then I stick my feet out the bottom in a little hold and only cover from my shins to my neck.

[–]etruscan 34 points35 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm the same. I do the "untuck", so my feet can breathe. The wife hates it though. She likes the look of a tucked in sheet.

Hotels are the worst. I have to bang away at the sheets with my feet with great force and enthusiasm just to release them.

[–]xb4r7x 112 points113 points ago

Ths is my suspicion for me also... my GF constantly validates that I am very hot when I sleep and I am sure my body uses my feet as cooling devices.

When I am hot in a car also if I just stick my hand out the window and it's cold enough the rest of me can stay cool.

It also drives me crazy to have my feet covered when I sleep. They have to stick out, or I toss and turn endlessly. The worst is when the bed has a baseboard which is too short, forcing me to lie sideways so that my feet hang over the side.

This is the difference between sheets/ blankets and a duvet. With sheets, you're pretty much pinned to the bed until you pull them all out; with a duvet, it will move with you.

I sleep with a body pillow. I got it after knee surgery that required me to wear an immobilizing brace 24 hrs a day. This brace was scratchy and hard and would wake me up if my knees touched. That was almost 10 years ago and I still need my body pillow to sleep.

You are not alone! As I said in another post just now, I have GOT to have something between my legs in order to sleep. My knees cannot touch. I have many special leg pillows, some even designed for the purpose. They vary in size based on my body's mood at bedtime. And if I am without a leg pillow, I just use an extra real one. Without that, a a stuffed animal. Without that, the blankets. If the blankets are too skimpy, I roll up a towel or three.

It's a curse, as I am sure you agree. Requip helps a bunch, though I don't know if the problem is really considered Restless Legs Syndrome. I truly cannot sleep without something between my legs. Otherwise I can't stay still or relax the proper mucsles to be comfortable enough to drift off.

I am so glad there are so many people doing this. It was a source of frustration for me for a long time. When I was a little kid, my parents would try to get me to stop doing it, so I was told that when I went to serve the Army (obligatory armed services) I would not be able to do it.

It scared the shit out of me and as I slowly approached my 18th birthday, when we were supposed to go the army, I was still thinking about it. And then something wonderful happened. Our country decided to institute voluntary service and I didn't have to go.

To this day (I am 30) I still sometimes go to bed, do the tuck and think to myself "It's so awesome I don't have to go to the Army".

Step one: Arrange pillows in intersecting semicircular formation.

Step two: Enter covers.

Step three: Perform the tuck.

Step four: Perform the sideways tuck on both sides.

Step five: Roll over.

Step six: Sleep.

I don't know who started the idea that couples have to sleep in the same bed all night every night. Scientists aren't even for it, although that could be a sour grapes situation.

[–]NegativeK 6 points7 points ago

You're doing it wrong. Methods to extend effective bed length:

  • Lie diagonally.
  • Lie on your stomach and barely dangle your feet off the end of the bed. Futon mattresses allow this to be performed comfortably, as they curve at their edges.
  • Fetal position (last resort.)

The tuck is a pre-requisite for sleep, but I ALWAYS end up kicking one leg out of the covers before I finally pass out.

[–]Nougat 28 points29 points ago

That leg or foot is a radiator. Exposing more or less of it to the open air allows you to regulate the temperature of your blood, keeping you comfortable.

I am a human heater. I exude mass quantities of heat when I sleep and unless the house is FRIGID I only cover my pelvis with a sheet, and that's only in case someone breaks in. Wouldn't want the robber to be embarrassed.

I do the tuck every single night. For some reason I can't shake the feeling of "something could bite my feet" when they're unsheathed.

Growing up in houses without any kind of heating system, I used to do this every night. Then one night I tried sleeping in my sleeping bag on the bed. I never looked back; I've been using sleeping bags ever since.
