i also rip off my socks during the night when i wear them to bed too so maybe i just hate things touching me in my sleep but if anyone has ideas that would be great

What helped me with the bonnet was getting one that ties. If that doesn’t help then idk boo

maybe try pulling the headband part down over ur eyes when ur sleeping, that way you get a sleeping mask too!

Have you tried a bonnet that ties around your head (not just a simple elastic going around) yet

I rip mine off too, ditto with the socks comment as well. I started tying off behind my head and then using it as an eye mask to block out light, it helps a bit but I will still rip it off occasionally. I find more often than not, it’s less stranded in sea of bedding in the morning. It leaves a small dent mark in my forehead but it goes away and it never leaves any permanent indents from time as well

hmm have you made certain you have no other sleep issues? also, might sound odd, but are you perhaps hypermobile? might be why you move so much. (sometimes there’s no definite way to fix this)

😭 at the very least, you can get satin or silk pillow cases

i’ve heard for white textured hair that the bonnet headband/wrap part can cause breakage on the baby hairs where it sits so putting it over your eyes would help with that too!

I noticed that when I started using it, so when I pulled it over my eyes it started making a difference! I have like roughly 2.5 feet of hair that’s like a wavy straight type so I use it to keep it up and out of my face at night and to protect it, along with my silk pillow cases too. Makes it nice and slick so there’s no tension pulling the bonnet!
