Is it normal that i can't sleep without a stuffed animal?

I am 20 years old and I can't go to sleep without hugging a stuffed animal or a pillow. It's really embarrassing, but if I'm not holding onto something soft I just cannot go to sleep no matter how hard I try. I'm not scared without it or something, it's just that without it it's really uncomfortable. Is this normal?

    I came on this site to ask almost the same question. I'm a 19 year old girl who still sleeps with stuffed animals and my old baby blanket. It's good to know I'm not the only one!

      PFFT that is nothing. There is this entire generation that cannot sleep without their cell phone.

      SO, sleeping with a stuffed toy, box cutter, or whatever is like, fine.

      BTW, is the box cutter one of those cheezy retractable blade, fat handle ones or more of a folding knife type? My favorite one is this blue handle folding one. It is a Kobalt I got from Lowes.

        Why the hell would toughluckkid leave? She was normally pretty cool and even if sometimes "harsh", she added to the entertainment here.

        Why? What do you have to do to become an 'Old Memory'?

  • Seems normal to me.

    Personally, I think stuffed animals seem kind of uncomfortable due to the more irregular shape, but I often hug a pillow or blanket.

    Not as common for guys imo, or at least, I don't think most guys would admit it. I had sisters and they would sleep with stuffed animals, though, even into college.

    I think it's normal. It's a comfortable sleeping position to hug something. Also, many adults, especially women, sleep with stuffed animals.

    You got a trauma from your childhood and you can't shake it.
