Watch on while u sleep or off
As a little kid i devloped a habit of wearing my watch while i sleep. The light of a bed stand clock bothers me so I'm the middle of the night when if I wake up I can look at my luminous makers of my watch and see what time it is.
Is this an odd habit? |

I certainly have heard of several TRF'ers doing this. Not my cuppa tea, but not unique.
One member was in the military / formerly in combat. He said it became a habit while at war since one would not have much time to put on a watch / react if attacked. |

I feel like I've come across this thread before...like some sort of "thread deja vu" I can't wear a watch while sleeping, it feels 'weird'-constrictive. Also, My partner banged me in the face the one time he wore his 44mm Panerai to bed....gave me quite a cut.

i think there's already a thread like this...
anyways, when i'm at home, i usually remove my watch. i move a lot when i sleep and might (or have already) bang up the watch on the headboard... but when i'm in the field, that usually entails sleeping in h/motels, i usually wear them. |

Right before I go to bed the watch comes off and is carefully set on my dresser. As soon as I get up and cleaned up, the watch goes on until I go to bed that night. Oh yeah, I don't wear my glasses to bed either.

I always take it off when I sleep, if I'm staying overnight at some new girls place - maybe it stays on...

I'm too scared that I'll swing my arm, watch in tow, into the headboard and scratch or ding it, so no. : (

Cannot see any point in wearing any watch in bed.

On. I'm so accustomed to having something around my wrist, that it feels like a part of my body is missing if I don't have a watch on. Maybe it would work with cuffs too?

I also sleep with my eyelids taped open so no one can sneak up on me.
