What's Considered an Adequate Amount of Sleeping Space for a Single Person?

Twin is big enough for me, but it is not big enough for me and a pet, even a cat. Full is a good size for one person.

Ummm...... Ok. So. Please forgive the intrusion. But needing an entire acre of trees to use the bathroom without waking the neighbors sounds......excessive. Unless you are saying that the trees will provide cover. In which case I.........understand.




I swear, ya let a boy pee in the woods ONE time on a camping trip, and he will NEVER want to use an actual toilet again.........

I never realized there were so many bed sizing choices.

That Alaskan King bed is just... WHOA.

And seeing as I struggle with insomnia, if I got one of those things, I'd have to nickname it "The Alaskan King Crab" because lack of sleep makes me a little grouchy.

For anyone interested in answering yet another CRUCIAL poll, we've got one started in the Family Forum about whether or not a taco is a sandwich.

Due to a few other members' kind suggestions, I'm going to try posting in Family so that maybe we can have a wider audience and get to know more people (as much as the Singles Forum wants to take over the world... MUH HA HA HA!)

I had tried posting in Miscellaneous for a while, but don't want to disturb the general political outlet it's being used for right now.

PLEASE disturb the political outlet it's being used for right now! We need some relief!

Why ya think I went and dug up my old questions thread?

No room for Iris? Poor doggy...

There's a reason they want to sleep on the bed. Dogs are pack animals.

When I was single I would sleep on a thin mattress on the floor. Gotta queen-size now, ample room for my honey and me. I lived with a neighbor once for 6 months when my adult stepson caused me to get evicted from my apartment. Slept on the couch.

I can relate to this as I have had similar sleep accommodations.

I do try to be respectful of the current atmosphere in other sections of the forum -- especially since I have a tendency to "flood" a lot of threads in bursts, depending on my own life events, frame of mind, and energy levels.

I know one thing I'm guilty of doing here in Singles is harping on people who barge in and try to absolutely overrun it with their own assumed agenda. I'm a firm believer in trying to get to know the landscape and a bit about the audience you're speaking to before trying to be a headline contributor. I don't always succeed, but I think the effort makes a lot of difference -- and people generally respond better to a more personal approach.

Remember this old classc? I think the guy had a good heart, but he was insistent that we all be good obedient church mice who listened to every sermon he preached, even resorting to regularly bumping his own threads. And he had no regard, and seemingly no interest in getting to know the majority audience here. Little did he know that for many of us here, the idea of being dragged to a night club would be about as welcome as a severe case of poison ivy.

Sure, some people might really need messages like this, but to just break down all the doors, throw yourself in the middle of all the discussions and repeatedly preach to a stereotype most of your audience doesn't fit...

Well... I don't want to be that person in another part of the forum.

For myself, I choose to talk politics, Biblical study, and hot-topic issues with friends and family (it's slightly more civil that way, lol) but I realize many people might only have this forum as an outlet, just in the same way some of us introverts use it for social interaction.

And maybe God built them or is directing them to speak about those things -- disrupting that could possibly go against what God Himself is calling some people to do.

So... I'm going to try to Family Forum for a bit and see how it goes.

If I wind up back here in Singles exclusively, well, that won't be the first time.

Hopefully if people need a break from the heavier things, they know where to find the party.

Those huts look pretty nice!

Say, umm, where can I find those nightclub people? 😂

They are all over here.

That beat reminds me of the club raids we were doing 25 years back. Lots of high night owls around then lol.

Well........................

Lol!

I just saw the first picture and thought, "Why do hockey 🏒 players need more room to sleep!?"

It wasn't until the second picture that I finally got the height/size comparison! 🤣

Just FYI, the top picture was taken during a game in Columbus, Ohio of the shortest player (Nathan Gerbe 5' 4") and the tallest player (Zdeno Chara 6'9") in the history of the NHL doing battle with each other during a game a few years back. Just FYI, it was Gerbe who ended up with the puck

While I'm no longer single (or twin, for you Americans ), and did not replace my bed during my decade of recent singleness, I recall choosing to purchase an extra-length single bed when I was first moving out of Mom and Dad's. I'm 6'4", so a standard single bed is too small, and being a Christian, I did not see any sense in spending the extra for a double or queen when I wasn't planning to share it with anyone.

Now, I share a king-size bed with my wife. It's plenty wide but barely long enough. My stepdaughter sleeps on a double... which doubles as a guest bed. When she moves out, I'd recommend she gets a single (twin-size).

What size is best? Whatever you fit on comfortably. I will offer this though: most people spend too little on their bed, thinking all they do is sleep on it. Buy the best-quality mattress you can afford, and your body will thank you each morning.

I suppose the alternative is having your body cuss you out when you get up? I've seen some people who acted like their bodies were doing a bit of cussing.

"I had to sell my mattress and get a new one. That memory foam was starting to remember too much."

Do you suppose there's a way to wipe memory foam's memory?

Nope. That memory storage is write protected.
