    A ponytail is the best idea. They are not uncomfortable when you sleep with them in and they are good for sports.

    Try to get their attention. Say something like "Hey, guys! Want to play ________________?" or "Let's tell scary stories!" If all else fails, tell the host/host's parent you would like to go home.

    Yes. Just make sure you bring along a menstrual cup or some tampons for when you're swimming. The article Swim when You Are on Your Period has some good advice.

    How many people are needed to make a sleepover fun?
    Ruby
    Top Answerer
    There's no specific number. You can have fun with just two people or a group of friends. Having too many people at a sleepover (eight is usually the cutoff point, but it might be fewer depending on your space) can make it less fun as some might feel left out.

    Pillows are usually provided at a sleepover, so you don't need to bring any, but it's good to ask ahead of time. You should only need one pillow, two at most.
