It seems comforting to each other.
My Sis and I were very close also.
I wouldn't worry.

 My 19 yr old cousin calls me luv and sweetheart and we go out for lunch, coffee and talk about almost everything u can imagine! 1 night i txted him asking hin what fisting was and he called me at 1am to tell me! we are really close! he tells me when he has sex with a girl and hes just so easy to talk to! many ppl look at us and think we are lovers or going out but we are just family! im 14 and sometimes i sleep in the same bed as my mom! shes probably just being motherly to him!

reader, anonymous, writes (27 March 2010): The sleeping in the same bed together seems a little strange. I think it would be highly unusual that she would be doing anything sexual with him because he's so much younger. Why don't you spend the night over there on Thursday nights to see if anything happens? The only thing I would worry about is that when he starts to want to have sex, he might ask her to show him how. But hopefully, she would be smart enough not to do something like that. But I have read about brothers and sisters who have done that sort of thing as a way to practice for having sex later after they have found a boyfriend or girlfriend.

 I'd need to hear about a few more things before I'd find it unhealthy or really out of the ordinary. As Laura mentioned, she could be acting motherlike in addition to being a sister.
I wouldn't worry yet...

She just loves her brother dearly. Nothing strange here.

The sleeping in the same bed does seem kind of strange. But the fact is some mothers dont have time for ther kids and sometimes it falls on the older daughter to take care and play the role of the mother to there younger siblings.Ive had to take care of my younger brothers and sisters for more then 28 yeears. They always call me on mothers day before they call our mother. By the way I married my hubby when I was in high school and its been over 26 years. If your so lucky to find a girl that takes such go care of her sibling count your blessings...

reader, anonymous, writes (25 March 2010): me and my brother are really close like that of course we behave like any other brother and sister and fight alot wen we are around each other and definitly do not share a bed, but as im the older sister i always feel a duty to take care of him despite distance. i always want to know who is girlfriend is and how they met and things because i want him to be happy and safe. its not really anything to be worried about unless anything else suspicious comes up but some brothers and sisters feel they have to close as to not lose contact with them. or maybe because of how they were brought up. there is a huge age gap between these two and she loves u so dont worry about it so much.
good luck

 She could be subconsciously acting like his mother .Some bonds between siblings can be very close and strong, especially an older sister and a younger brother.
This is a very sensitive issue and you need to handle with care.

I really wouldn't look too much into it. My sisters are nosey in my life STILL. We're close though. She now lives with me to help raise my little girls after my wife passed away.
I think it's good to be close to your siblings. I think it seems healthy. I think it seems more than that, it sounds like a good relationship. It might look creepy from afar, but really, it's cute. He's lucky to have a big sister who looks after him.

 It's fine for a brother and sister to be close, but if you feel that uncomfortable about it or it seems a little to close maybe you should say something, do it in a calm way like you're just having a conversation rather than start an uneccesary argument.
