Cool side of the pillow
When I was little, I always went to bed with Ted and Quilt. Quilt was a small quilt with flowers on one side and patches with disney characters on the other side. I would always spread Quilt out over my pillow and would wake a few times during the night to switch Quilt to the other, cooler side.
While I still have Ted, and will still sleep with him on occasion (although now I rotate with one of my two ellies that Mik gave me), Quilt has long since fallen apart and was eventually thrown away. But I still love when I find the cool side of the pillow, it is a quiet small comfort in the night.
What are your small comforts or things you like when you are sleeping?

Don't tell anybody but I STILL have a security blanket. Origninally, it was a blue knit blanet. There were actually two of them -- blue and yellow. I got blue, my sister still has yellow (my niece sleeps with him now)
Blue got a big hole in him, so a friends mom salvaged him and sewed him to another blue blanket. Now, that one's getting a hole in it, so I'm going to have to see what I can do about that.
I sleep with this blanket every night. I've had it since I was 12. Prior to age 12, I had a thumper doll but his legs and arms and ears fell off so many times that by the time I was 12, he was irreparable. I gave him a proper funeral in the backyard (far as I know, he's still buried in his shoebox coffin in Tallahassee). After thumper died, I started sleeping with Blue.
The funny thing is, now the cats are attached to Blue. Charley likes to chew on his frayed edges (to which I'm constantly saying "Charley stop chewing on Blue, you make him feel like less of a blanket!) Weed prefers to sleep on him.
Oh, and um, who's Ted?
Hee. Ted is my bear. He looks like winnie the pooh, but with a blue shirt, not a red one. He is as old as I am, traveled with me to France, came to college with me, and now sits on my bureau out of myra's reach!
awww... See stuff like that makes me regret burying thumper. I should have just put him on the dresser to be all pathetic and loved through and, as they'd say in Velveteen Rabbit, real.
