Nope, one of my bridesmaids stayed with me and talked to me most of the night. I was worried about everything going smoothly. I am an anxious person by nature.
I slept fine. My bff spent the night and H slept at his parents. I was up early though and was wide awake. Everyone thought I took an energy drink but I was just so excited.
Like five hours. I thought that was pretty good at the time, I expected no sleep. I was oddly calm the day of my wedding, yet terrified and puking the day before.

I did. I shared a hotel suite with most of my bridesmaids (and a bed with my MOH) and we slept pretty good. We got married at the end of January and waking up to watch the weather and see 50 degrees in the forecast was so fun! (I live in MN)
It was honestly one of the best night's sleep since moving in with DH 5 years prior to our wedding.
I went back to my parents' house and my BMs all stayed in spare rooms there. I was in a queen bed all by myself in the dark and quiet. (DH and I share a double and he's a heavy sleep breather.) It was a truly magical night of sleep...
I did not have a big wedding, plus I was a second time bride.
DH was late getting home the night before. He was on a business trip and nearly missed his plane because he hadn't told the people he was traveling with he needed to get home. His colleagues from Japan had planned a long dinner of speeches and stories as a goodwill exercise at the local Bennihana. DS needed to duck out midway abd finally had to admit why he was leaving.They were all upset they didn't have a gift for him, so they made him stay until some lacky ran out and bought some token thing that could be ceremoniously presented to him. The the CEO, sent him to the airport in his own car.
He came home with a week's worth of dirty clothes, a belt broke on the washer midcycle so we had to rinse them in the tub and hand wring them. We finally got to bed and my engagement kitten started throwing up- he hate a firefly and the vomit was glowing. So weird. We got to bed late, but did sleep. He insisted on going out for breakfast but I was too nervous to eat- once we got to the church together, he took one look at the minister and almost passed out because all the blood in his body was in his stomach digesting both our breakfasts. Fun times.
No. I was crazy anxious and was basically pacing the house. I even tried reading one of my books from my Latin American lit courses in college, thinking I could distract myself by having something else to concentrate on (to read and understand the Spanish after 3+ years of not using it), and I would be able to sleep. Nope, just kept reading, then gave up and went back to pacing the house.
I don't recall having any problems sleeping (it was almost 6 years ago). We already owned our home at that point and both slept in our bed that night. I wasn't nervous about marrying him. I was only nervous about things turning out perfectly (I'm a perfectionist) and about being the center of attention as the bride (I'm shy and an introvert). But thankfully not so much that it kept me awake.

I slept fine. But I slept with DH, in my childhood bedroom. Everything felt really normal and I wasn't stressed. Maybe I should have been stressed, since lots of things went wrong, but the night before I was blissfully unaware.
I always had it in my head that I wouldn't be able to fall asleep before the wedding, but I had strep throat the week leading up to it. I was so tired that I slept like a log! I even remember talking to a friend on the way to the RD and me telling her that I was so so tired.
