How do you sleep?

How do you sleep?

I am always on the right side of the bed, Dh on the left. I need to have my space when I sleep. If Dh tries to cuddle while we are sleeping, I start to feel trapped and have to roll over. Same thing with my cat, if he falls asleep on my legs I have to move him because I cant sleep. I feel so bad! But I have always been like this, not just since we were married.
DH and I cuddle before going to sleep, but once its time to pass out, I move to my side of the bed..
How about everyone else? Does anyone cuddle all night?

Re: How do you sleep?

I tend to fall asleep VERY fast when we're cuddled up...but we sleep with our backs to each other most of the time, sometimes we end up cuddled again in the middle of the night....I sleep on the left and he's on the right (from being in the bed point of view)

We sleep cuddled also most of the night. Sometimes DH cuddles so hard, I feel strangled. Its funny cause he doesn't realize it and I have to try to break free. Its funny.

He sleeps on the left and I'm on the right. Most of the time we are back to back with our very large cat in between us upside down.

Re: How do you sleep?

I am the type that likes to have my space in the bed so I can sleep all stretched out. We used to sleep on a Queen bed. It sometimes got a little cramped but it was usually ok.

Once my girl moved in with me... I felt it was time to buy a new bed. Well I decided to go diesel and get a king sized bed knowing I would live the extra room.

Best purchase I ever made. Thing is HUGE. I love it. Even my girl said she sleeps much better since I bought it. Granted the mattress, box spring, and bedframe came out to about $2100... but it was worth it. :)

Re: How do you sleep?

I'm a horribly light sleeper, tossing and turning all night. I rarely sleep all the way through the night without waking up a few times.

DH is on the right/i'm on the left. I like to have room between us becuase if he is really close I feel like I can't breath.

Now I have to fight for room with one of our cats Jack. If I get up in the middle of the night he immediately takes my space in the bed, including putting his head on my pillow!

Re: How do you sleep?

I hate being touched when I sleep... in fact, I hate sharing beds with anyone. We usually sleep me on the left, DH on the right... he's always on my side... I always push him over. I can't stand people in my space when I sleep. It took a long time to get used to having someone else in the bed on a regular basis.

Re: How do you sleep?

Aliking..Im like you..I need my space!! When we first met and eventually moved in together..we used to cuddle up all night..but thas kind of worn itself out, because now I need my sleep..I used to not care if I slept because I was so'in love'..but the reality is I need my space..our feet usually touch or something like that and he'll wake up and kiss my head or something in the middle of the night..but for the most part..Im on the right side, hes on the left ..and if hes ona snoring rampage..Im in the spare room!!

Re: How do you sleep?

I sleep on the right and he on the left. WE sleep with our backs facing each other. I totally need my space!! I too feel trapped! I can't stand it. Also, up until recently....we had slept with seperate blankets. He hated my goose down comforter and I hated his comforter. But, I could no longer stand his comforter that I threw it away. ( okay, I donated it to Salvation Army) I stored mine in the closet and I bought a new Light goose down feather comforter. So we now sleep together underneath the sheets. LOL He claims to cuddle with me when I am out cold. LOL

ETA: I am so glad we do not face each other when sleeping. I feel like we are stealing each other's breath.

Re: How do you sleep?

I just don't sleep!!!
This just evolved over the past 6 months...the only other time I couldn't sleep was during the summer of the Bar Exam.

But now, my DH is snoring,,,and I get psychotic when it comes to that...I almost have to concentrate on falling asleep, and then I hear 'snort'...NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: How do you sleep?

I'm on the right - he's on the left, I sleep with my back facing him, he's usually on his stomach. We both like our space!!!

Re: How do you sleep?

I usually sleep on the left, he's on the right if you're looking at our bed.

We have a Full size bed, so we've gotten used to sleeping right next to each other. We sleep cuddled for part of the night, but also apart as well for the majority of the night.

It took me a good two months to get used to having someone else in bed with me when we first got married!

Re: How do you sleep?

I'm on the right, he's on the left. I can't stand anyone breathing on me, so although we start out cuddling, it's not long before I push him over to his side. I don't mind spooning him so much because then he's not breathing on me, but if he does it to me, I usually have to move him. But, once, in my sleep, I was spooning him and I bit him on his back!!! I must've been dreaming! Needless to say, he's been a little leery of me spooning him since then .

Re: How do you sleep?

I am so glad we are not the only ones that don't cuddle!!! (when we are in bed) I am on the right, this is where I am used to sleeping. He wanted the right too but we only have 1 night stand and I need the alarm clock so I won and got the side I wanted.

I need my space! When we were first dating, we both had full size beds, it was so hard to sleep in the same bed. Now we have a king and sometimes it not big enough. I sleep all streched out and sometimes I end up kicking DH...I need a king all to my self.

This is almost like us except we only have a queen size bed.

Re: How do you sleep?

He works nights and I work days, so we usually dont have a lot of time in bed togher during the week. I'm on the right, (looking at the bed), and have to hop out at the end cause the room is so small the bed is up against the wall! I love having him there though!
