Comfort - 5 Minute Freewrite
Introduction to freewriting by @mariannewest
Prompt of Day 68: pillow
Once I slept a night without a pillow and a blanket as an experiment to test myself and my tolerance for being uncomfortable so to say, which I've been experimenting with regular cold showers, for example. The philosophy being expanding my limits created by my mind, because most of them are in our heads; our bodies can handle a lot of shit before totally giving up.
From PixabayIt was okay: I slept without waking up at night but after that I noticed how comfortable a pillow and a blanket is. They are filling a very fundamental need of feeling safe, covered. And it's not about the temperature; you could be sweating but still you'd like to be safely under the hood, if it just wasn't for the high temperature.

I used to always take a cold shower after the hot one - it is actually better for you. I really need to start again..... and love my blanket....
They have a lot of benefits like stimulating blood circulation and decreased stress levels if I remember correcly.
Aah, who wouldn't :)
A cold shower? No pillow? You are so brave. And now you taught me why I must have a blanket over me or I can't sleep. : )
Yeah, I've been doing cold showers for so long that it's already a habit at this point. Oh, and I meant to say that I slept without a blanket too, not 'sheet'. That's the real hard thing to do. Not gonna try that again tho.
I have to have a pillow. I use a CPAP and have to sleep on my back. Get read, great job.
Thank you for reading and commenting! Yeah I wouldn't recommend trying it; sometimes I just like to do weird experiments.
You'll never know, if you don't experiment.
