When I was 5, I broke my collarbone. I was able to take the sling off in my sleep, even though when I was awake, my hands couldn’t reach the buckles (it fastened in the back). ---

**Greywolf73** - is it possible that you went for a spin in your clothes dryer in the middle of the night? That’s the only logical explanation I can think of for your shirt turning itself inside out. 😛 ---

This has been bothering me for days now. In the middle of the night I awoke because the covers was uncomfortable on my skin. My first thought was “what’s wrong with the cover!! and where is the sheet in between”. Plus, I was also laying on my back, which I never do. I set up and the bed was fully covering completely but turned around backwards and very neat. The cover and sheet was not like that before going to bed and this has never happened before. I thought maybe they was flipped around in the night, but I didn’t get up and neither did my husband. My covers are very heavy and don’t flip easy. So something didn’t make since to me. I was talking to my grand daughter about it after getting home from work. I ask her if I was crazy. She told me NO because when she awoke, her bra was on backwards. She said it wasn’t like that before she went to bed. Also because it was a lacy bra, she would have notice if she put it on backwards. Now I’m wondering what happen to us while asleep that night to ALL of us. ---

Perhaps your shirt is right, but the rest of you is backwards and inside-out. ---
