5 Reasons why it's okay to sleep with your teddy bear

Comfort 

Now we all have some sad times in our lives, and if you don't, you're very lucky! Sometimes we don't want to hug another human being, sometimes we just want to be alone and that's where a teddy bear comes into play. A teddy won't ever laugh at you or make you feel small, it's your possession that will always make you feel happy when you are down. Feeling down is something that people come across, one way or another. Just simply being upset is just one of the many reasons why its okay to sleep with your teddy bear. 

Great start the day 

Some of us often "get out of the wrong side of the bed" or so they say. But on our bad days, who wouldn't want to wake up to the gorgeous face of their very own teddy bear. Happy or sad, waking up to your soft cuddly teddy bear is the key to a brighter day than the one you had before. 

Everybody does it 

Now, this may surprise you when i tell you that 35% of adults openly admit they still sleep with their teddy bear, and that's not counting the ones that still do, but just keep it a secret. it's so normal! teddy bears have been around for a very long time. As a child, I had my own teddy bear, and it took me until the age of 14 until i decide "it wasn't cool anymore" you know, the typical teenage thing we all go through at some point or another. The truth is, you won't be judged, and if you are laughed at, you know at least 35% of people do it also "admittedly". 

Hugs Are Awesome

We've all been there, we all need a hug from somebody or something from time to time. What better way to take your emotions out, than on your very own teddy bear. Teddy bears are just so cute "depending on which one you have of course". When I'm feeling low, I hug my teddy bear. But I am lucky enough to have my very own Eddy the Teddy after all. 

Teddy bears don't snore!

Now we all know somebody that snores, it might even be yourself. Let's face it, nobody likes a snorer, well at least in the bedroom. With a teddy, you get all the upsides. Does your teddy snore? nope. Is your teddy the best sleeping buddy ever? yes.

So is it ok to sleep with your teddy bear? Yes, it's totally normal and it's something that you should never feel ashamed of.
