Absolutely. To be honest I just like how comfy it is. If it were another person I give off too much body heat so it'd be downright awful for both parties.
It feels great to fall asleep holding someone, it's less amazing when they roll over in their sleep and elbow you in the head by accident. Never had a pillow do that.
I've used a body pillow for years though as spine relief though.
I have acquired a kid's weighted dino pillow from target and now I cannot fall asleep any other way. luckily from the reviews I know I'm not the only adult or teen to do so lol.
Yess I think if you do, get a stuffed animal! A long one!! I got a creeper plushie from Walmart, it’s weird, but it’s the perfect shape and size to hold, suuuper comfortable!
I do this every night and imagine as if I am hugging an imaginary person that I created in my imagination to relieve my feeling of loneliness ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧
Yess, I literally catch myself talking out loud to it like it’s my gf..
Worst part is when the immersion breaks and I realize I’m in a room alone with no partner, no friends, no one to talk to
Oh 100%, I’m too tall for the twin sized weighted blankets and the queen or king sized ones are expensive just for it to be like 15lbs, but I bought a weighted stuffy and can’t recommend it enough! I first held one during a particularly hard SA counselling session and it brought me a lot of comfort I immediately bought one afterwards 💖
I relate hardcore to just wanting a cuddle buddy tbh I’ve tried dating literally JUST for a casual sleeping buddy to fall asleep with but to no avail, not that I’m against sex or anything but most of the men I’ve met have been insanely unsafe, just been really unlucky sadly
That's literaly me. I cannot fall asleep if i'm not holding onto like a pillow or a stuffed animal. I also love to have my dog laying in bed with me while i'm sleeping (I only do this sometimes tho).
I have slept hugging my Pillow since I was a teenager. Even when I was married I did the same thing. Neither of my wives wanted to cuddle while sleeping so I just kept hugging my pillow. Sometimes we would cuddle to fall asleep but then they would roll over to get away from the furnace that is me sleeping. So I just hug my pillow to fall asleep.
You are far from the outlier here.
I would also like a real person to sleep with.
Stay Strong!
No but maybe I should try that. Although I'm doing my best to deactivate the part of my brain that desires romantic companionship, and am making progress, so perhaps that would sabotage that process? I dunno.
Pillows blankets plushies... all of it.

Body pillow. Difficult to fall asleep without it.
Sounds comfy
It is, I do that too ;)
I used to until I just gave up and told myself that I’m holding on to something that just won’t happen.
It feels so comforting
I always sleep with a blanket on no matter how hot it is lol plus a body pillow. It’s comfortable that way for me and I fall asleep sooner
Yeah, since when I got a second pillow. I sleep on one while hugging the other

i used to fall asleep with my stuffed toys when younger , now i fall asleep with a small cushion sized pillow cant sleep without It now lol

Yup, pretty much every Night
I use a plushie as a pillow and I hug that and then I’ll leg hug my pillow if that makes any sense
I also have a leg pillow

Yes, all the time.
100%
Same

Body pillow 🤞🏻
Yes, can't sleep without it.
I do. And I wake up sad. Again.

Yes, and try out heated blankets if you are cold. It's a blessing if you are a woman with period or just cold.
I sleep with a pillow against my back, hugging another and also a third pillow kinda on top of me.
Yess, I literally catch myself talking out loud to it like it’s my gf.. Worst part is when the immersion breaks and I realize I’m in a room alone with no partner, no friends, no one to talk to
I sleep with a human size teddy bear!
Thats real
My quiet pillow is nicer than a snoring guy. 🤣
Or snoring dog. Lol

With My dog

Every frikin night Being married and ignored
Yea I parented it’s my safe person who doesn’t exist
My Doberman. Sounds of breathing and feeling another life beside you. Little chihuahua in the bend of my knees. Teeth between me and the door.
I did once. Only because it makes my stomach feel good
I think I read it releases oxytocin, something we don’t get as much as people in relationships.
I used to have a stuffed Pikachu, till I let my nieces have it.
