Would it be weird if...?

[Sharon Q]

At home I sleep with my boyfriends hoody it helps me get to sleep.

Soon I'll start school and be in a dorm room with 2-3 other girls I believe. If I'm very lucky just one roommate but I doubt that will happen I'll probably be stuck with two at the least.

Would it be weird to still sleep with his hoody seeing as I'll be in a cramped room with other girls?

I mean I'm 20 so they may find it odd that a 20 year old sleeps with a hoody. I'm afraid they may poke fun.

Having lived with a roommate before, I doubt they would tease you about that right off the bat. When you're getting used to living with someone new, the last thing you want to do is annoy them or start off on the wrong foot. If they did tease you about it, that would be pretty rude. I don't think many people would find it strange that you have a comfort item you like to sleep with. One of my best friends can't sleep without her special baby blanket and she's just turned 20. You might find that one of your roommates has a stuffed animal she can't sleep without, or something of the sort. I don't think that's uncommon at all.

If you are worried about it, though, I would suggest getting the awkwardness out of the way. Maybe if you're wearing the hoodie around the house or something, mention it. "Oh, this is my boyfriend's. It's so comfy that I even sleep with it!" If you don't make it into a big deal, they probably won't, either. :3

Edit: Agreed with Rosebud. A hoodie is a pretty unassuming thing to sleep in. I mean, it's really hot where I live most of the time, so that'd be odd for me, but I doubt your roommates would even think twice about why you're wearing it. Probably just figure you get cold easily and/or that's what you normally sleep in.

[Rosebud]

Why is that weird? I sleep in a hoody on a regular basis (it's not my boyfriends but just my own oversized hoody from high school) because I get cold a lot and its just comfy. I honestly...can see no reason why this would be seen as an odd thing. What do they expect you to sleep in? Silk pajamas with lace trim?

[kiara_silver]

I don't think its wierd at all, hoodies are comfortable. And even so, if you want to sleep in something of your SO's why not? If its not revealing or anything in a way that would make your roomates uncomfortable, then who cares what they think. they can joke and poke fun but you can always just laugh it off, and then its over with. I think if you want to, then just do it and not worry.

I doubt they'd think it was odd for you to sleep with his hoody, but if they do for any reason, I would just explain to them it's your boyfriends hoody, and it reminds you of him, so you like to sleep with it when you miss him. Most girls seem to understand missing their boyfriend, so they'd probably just think "awww how sweet"

[CanadianGirl]

I'm in my boyfriend's hoodie right now Honestly, they're 20, if they act like bullies they're pathetic and immature. Plus, everyone will understand if you say it's your boyfriend's. And if they still rag on you, tell them to screw off.

If I had to guess, is this your first year in college? You're probably nervous for a buttload of different reasons. If it's their first year too, they'll want to make friends much more than they'd want to make enemies.

[NaNi]

Do it! Who cares what others think anyway?

[loveknowsnodistance27]

I would definitely do it if it makes you comfortable! I sleep with my SO's tshirt on my shoulder every night...I can't sleep without it, and if it falls off in the middle of the night, I will wake up and panic, looking for it even though it's right next to me lol. But, I don't think they'll make fun of you for it. If they do ask, you can just tell them you're in a LDR and it makes it feel as if he's with you when you're sleeping since you can't physically be together. Girls are extremely understanding about that and they'll probably think it's actually really sweet.

I'm in college and while I live offcampus without roommates (although that will be changing soon yay!), I stay at campus often in my friend's dorm. I see a lot of girls with big hoodies that are probably their boyfriends' either as pajamas or even walking around campus. My friends and I think it's adorable. I wear my boyfriend's shirt to bed sometimes when I miss him. I think it's pretty normal.

[Sharon Q]

Thanks guys

[Dziubka]

I agree with the others. DOn't worry about it.
Even if they think it's weird - you'll find out a million weird things about your roommates sooner than you like

I sleep with a blanket my grandmother gave me before she passed away, the blanket my dog of 15 years was put to sleep in, a stuffed Eeyore my SO gave me, a huge stuffed Collie that he gave me, and though I've recently had to come to terms with that I can't find it, a stuffed dog that was a gift from my grandmother when I was younger. I also cannot sleep without a myriad of blankets, and I often slept 1-2 feet down the bed (I didn't want to sleep by the window, which was where the head of my uni bed was placed up against). AND I required a night light; still do at 20. :P

This was through a lot of my first and part of my second year at university. No one teased me about it, and they even had their own comfort items!

[Madge]

Honestly, Nothing to worry about! I wear my SO's hoodie to bed in the winter and his tshirt in the summer. It is nothing weird at all! As Eclaire has said, everyone has their own comforts

[Bethypoo]

Nope, I dont think that is weird at all. And if they did really say anything, its probably because they want someone in their life because most women would understand. Its totally fine.

[JEREIANEDREI]

nothing weird of what would make you happy...no other people can give us happiness,unless it is our loved one...
sleep with your hoodie,.they dont care..its your happiness...Good luck girl...
