Bed. Dark room all the way, I won't ever be able to sleep when it's bright. Not even a lamp can be on. I always need at least two pillows ( don't care which type ) because I like to hug a pillow when I sleep! Also two blankets at least, one thick and one thin. I used to have plushies by me but I kept shoving them off my bed in my sleep so I stopped using them. I can sleep in silence but sometimes my brain doesn't shut up and I can't stop thinking of two million things at once so I often listen to repetitive music or audio, it has to be consistent or constant! Like white noise or a looping tune from a song. It can't have lyrics or various notes because my brain won't shut up and will start to sing along or do wild stuff to do with the song. I also find it really difficult to sleep in places I'm unfamiliar with or heavily accustomed to, so I won't be able to sleep anywhere that isn't my own bedroom. Anyways I'm rambling, this is useless anyway so that's it!
No pillow, no blankets, only one sheet under me, sometimes a small pillow under my neck for support. I can sleep with the lights on, I don't mind it. I don't need stuffed animals if real ones invade my bed every night, my cats like sleeping by my side.
People have told me I sleep like a corpse, though I don't see the resemblance. I sleep like that because my back hurts if I don't & it's currently hot as hell 24/7 where I live.
Both my pillow and mattress should be made of memory-foam or I'm going to be in pain. A regular body pillow also helps me sleep, since I'm so boney and need something to keep my legs from piling on each other other (I sleep on my side after all).
I'm not actually sure what the blanket I like is called in English (I think it's a duvet, in French it's une couette), but I like the bulkier/fluffier ones used for Winter, even when it's very hot outside.
Sometimes, a stuffed animal doesn't hurt to hug wile asleep, but I roll around a lot and they always end up on the floor eventually :C
A dark room, a soft pillow and a warm blanket. And a nightstand where I can place my glasses. Oh, and in summer, air conditioning instead of a blanket (and cool, but not too cold...)
And let's not forget the fluffy slippers near the bed XD (I like fluffy slippers what's wrong with it)
