I used to beleive that you shouldn't drink too much water before going to bed because if you did, the water level in your body would be too high and would get passed your neck and that would short circuit your brain.

When I was little I had a theory that while you were sleeping, you were a blade of grass awake on the other side of the world. During the day, you were awake and your blade of grass was asleep.

I used to believe that when you were asleep, you were really dead. Every time I heard about something "awaking from the dead", I was like, "so?! I do it every morning!"

I used to believe that before each dream.... little people in my head would move plugs around and put them into different outlets so i had exactly the right dream. Why I thought little people were in my head, who knows.....

I used to think that when you went to sleep, your dreams were accualy real. One time I had one of those "falling" dreams, and I could of sworn my body fell onto my bed a second after I woke up...

When I was very young, my mother told me not to sleep with the bedsheets over my head because it would make me have trouble getting enough air. After she told me that, I was very careful to make sure I never fell asleep with a sheet covering my head for fear that I would not get enough air and die in my sleep.

When I was really little and trying to fall asleep, I would lay with my ear to the pillow, listening to my heartbeat. I used to think that there was a giant marching through my ear (don't ask me how a giant got in my ear) and if I rolled over to the other side, he would escape and eat me. I didn't get much sleep during that period.

when my bro was 6 my grandma said she was so tired she would "die" that night. my bro was always going around saying his gramdma had died and came back from the dead until my mom told him it was just a saying and it meant she was going to sleep good!

When I was 3, I used to think that when people were sleeping that they were temporarily dead. So whenever my mom, dad or sister took naps or fell asleep before I did, I'd run outside to find any sort of flower looking plant and place them on the bodies. Also when they woke up, I'd ask them what they dreamed about because I thought dreams were the mind's interpretation of Heaven or Hell. I have no idea how these thoughts came to be, but I did this until I went to kindergarten.

When I was little, my parents would get me to go to bed by calling it "Mrs. White's Party" I can't believe I fell for that more than once; I believed that there was a Mrs. White (actually the sheets), and she had me spirited away to a party after I fell asleep. I believed that she waved a wand or something to make me forget there hadn't been a party.

When I was little I used to believe that when you fell asleep you would forget everything you did that day. I don't know how this was possible but I remember trying to remember things to prevent me forgetting them before drifting of.

I used to have the WORST time trying to get to sleep, I thought that if I face the wall, my mom would come in and spank me while I slept, and that if I slept facing the door, a robber would shoot me. Dont ask me why. Im odd.

luce

I remember always thinking that when I went to sleep, my eyes would roll in the back of my head and watch a movie of what I did during the day (a dream).

The Mortal Elf

I used to believe that when i went to sleep i would be in a different world and when i woke up the things i would have bought would be there with me but sadly to my disappointment, they never were!

I used to belive all grown ups went to bed at midnight.

Anon

I used to insist that I never slept, because I couldn't remember being asleep.

When I was a kid my mum used to say "sleep tight, hope the lops don't bite" [bedbugs]. For years I thought "the lops" were actually giant fishfingers.
