Is it normal to still sleep with a stuffed animal?

I don't know what it is, but if I don't have my stuffed animal near me, I have a really hard time falling asleep and I feel uncomfortable... but I'm a 21 year old guy!

    I think that's adorable. I'd much rather date a guy who sleeps with a stuffed animal than not, haha. But maybe that's not normal. Or maybe it's just a sign of sensitivity to me. But I digress... I think it's normal, because eh, my 23 year old boyfriend still sleeps with his blanket.

    I have stuffed animals in my bed, and I'm 21, though I think of them as small pillows. I like to be surrounded when I sleep.

    Normal. I still like having a stuffed animal too. If you feel really self conscious about it when you have visitors you could try sleeping with a pillow.

    Normal. You just want your stuffed animal to make you feel at ease before you sleep. I'm the same way, but I upgraded to a "live" animal, my cat! Hehe take care! ^_~

    I'd say it's normal. I still sleep under a quilt given to me by my great grandma.

    Very, very, super normal!

    I have a very large bin in my closet that doesn't close for the cause of stuffed animals. And my sister and I keep loads more on our bed. They're all over the house!!

    There is nothing wrong with that. Many people often are given a sence of security by these stuffed animals. I must conffese that I still sleep with one. My grandma and grandpa bought me a stuffed cat when I was about six years old. I had just gotten stitches and was not feeling well. The minute I help that cat, I felt better. I still feel that way 11 years later. I named her cinnamon, and still sleep with her every night. I have kept this a secret from my parents thoug.

    So normal I have a stuffed animal bear I got when I was 3 and his name is kitty he makes me feel safe and yes, he. I think it's sweet that you still sleep with a blanket or stuffed animal it means your sensitive and that's good

      So do I. There is nothing wrong with holding on to a few childhood memories. Try holding your stuffed animal while watching a animated disney film such as "The Lion King". You will feel like you are 5 years old again.

    Perfectly normal. I sleep not only with the love on my life, but also the huge Goofy toy he gave me on our 6 month wedding anniversary. 34.5 years previous. {35 years of wedded bliss}:

    I love sleeping with the teddy bear my Nana gave me on her last visit. I also sleep with 2 throw pillows (one of which is filled with little beads) and a throw blanket that my mom bought me for Christmas one year. I'm a 19 year old girl by the way.

    I sleep with a stuffed animal still. I'm most comfortable with something in my arms. I recently found out that my reason is because I don't like my arms being close together, my animal keeps my arms just the right amount appart.
