Well, ever since I painted all the walls pink and filled the whole house with warm salt water...

Awesome response!

Sometimes I wish men would think they were grown-ass men and didn't need a woman's womb. *sigh*

I dunno, I kind of get what the OP was asking - basically, what have you done to make your home a refuge and place of rest. I've really tried to do that. I don't have the money or inclination to decorate it in an elegant way, so I've gone for comfort and utility.

Thumbs down The phrasing "womb like" seems poorly chosen at best, a distraction

Many studies have shown that light disrupts sleep patterns, with blue light (like those horrible LEDs gadget makers insist on sticking in everything) being particularly bad.

The most recent study, published by the American Journal of Epidemiology, suggests a correlation between anything brighter about 5 lux and depression (5 lux is slightly brighter than a full moon at night in the countryside).

At first thought, my house is as far from a womb as you can get. Sparse mid century furnishings, multiple 10'x12' windows, rock walls, concrete or terrazzo floors, soaring wood ceilings. But then again, I feel really comfortable here, so maybe it's exactly like a womb.

"I guess my style is Bohemian Womb."

Okay, now that was funny!

I can think of an effective alarm clock setup for such sleeping accommodations involving vaseline, a short water slide leading to a bright light, and a dominatrix with a paddle...

Of course, after use, one would need to clean the place with your womba.

I get what the OP was asking, too.

In the room that I have now, I have my bed right on the floor and it's pushed up against three bookcases, two against the wall and one on the end, so the bed looks built in. Books and magazines are everywhere, I have a Ben Franklin electric space heater against a wall, and a large cottage sofa across from the bed. Depending on who you are, it's either claustrophobic or comforting.

Womblike can also be prison like or "Hotel California" like where you can never check out...until someone on the outside lets you
