From an early age I truly believed that if I fell asleep on top of the covers, that the bed monster would grab my feet. My paranoia led me to be very obsessive about making sure the sheet was tucked in pretty tight at the end of my bed when I wanted to go to sleep. If I felt it wasn't tight enough, I would then just tuck the sheet tightly around my feet. And it worked... the bed monster never got me.
Sadly: by force of habit... I still can't go to sleep until my feet are well covered. I guess you can say I ahve Post Bed Monster Syndrome.
