The solution could be the continuous duvet, running over and under the bed. Wife can't pull it away. Can't fall out. Not sure how to make the join though.....

Someone had that idea last year, on Radio 4's 'Genius' show...

As for why we don't often fall out of bed, I'd assume our past ancestry of living in trees had something to do with it. If a gorilla can nest in a tree without falling out...

That's why you need a partner to hang onto..................could be an excuse if you're caught out one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

TWO partners, then you'll be really safe in the middle!

Practice. That's why children have cots with sides 'cos they do fall out of bed otherwise.

I remember as a child wanting to fall out of bed .. so I lay on the edge of the bed to go to sleep ... when I woke up I had moved over towards the middle. I was unable to fall out.

However one of my children has repeatedly fallen out of bed ... she seems to prefer sleeping in strange positions. The weirdest one was one night when she swapped and slept on the top bunk ... her sister woke to find that there was a foot hitting her head. The younger child had fallen out of the bed and was currently sleeping upright trapped against the wall by the top bunk rails (by the way she is 10). She is not allowed to sleep on the top bunk again.

I shared a bunk bed with my sister, she on top me on bottom. She fell out age 8 in her sleep and broke her arm.

I have always wanted to try a saline suspension tank to see if deprived of sensation whether I was susceptible to hallucinations, etc.

Gawd...my childhood nightmare, that.
Used to think there was some kind of nosferatu type ghoul that lived there and would drag me under with its claw-like hands whenever i put my feet on the floor.

I fell out of bed years ago. It was when the World Cup (that football thing) was on, and even though I'm not into football, I was in the middle of a dream about it. So, I was running up the pitch with the ball, about to score, and I headed it towards the goal.
And that's when I headbutted the bedside cupboard, and fell out of bed.
My girlfriend at the time woke up with the commotion and spent the next hour sniggering.

I fell out of bet (top bunk) and broke my wrist when I was seven years of age.

Don't recall falling out since.

now you're being silly. What's to stop the partners falling out of bed?

Mr. Hippo, I am in your debt. I've often wondered the same thing, and never had the nerve to ask.

 

[Mr Pig]

Do we have some inbuilt mechanism that keeps us in the bed?

Wow, you think?
