I'm a terrible person to sleep with - I grind my teeth real bad!!!! According to those in teh know, it sounds like I'm chewing on ice cubes.

Plus, I've been pinching and biting DH in my sleep lately!!! I was spooning him once and bit him on his back! Now, how do you get enough skin to bite on someone's back!!!!!!

What's it like? I would imagine it is WONDERFUL!

Now, DH on the other hand, flops around like a dying fish all night...

I'm a cover hog, I also stretch out all over the bed, leaving my DH with a tiny piece of matress to sleep on

I am the exact same way! DH yells at me every morning!

I twitch every now and again, but that's more or less the extent of it.

When we were in the smaller bed, DH would beat me up whenever he rolled over. He actually headbutted me one night.

When we were sleeping at someones house in a fullsize bed (that they swore was Queen... someone fooled them) I elbowed DH so hard in the head when I turned over. I hit him full force and he woke up startled and in pain not knowing what the hell just happened to him. I couldn't help but laugh after I found out he was ok.

I've kicked my poor grandma in the past. I grind my teeth, toss and turn, I bend my leg up and sometimes knee DH in his bad knee... but most of it he doesn't notice cuz he's such a heavy sleeper.

That's me, I can never get comfy. It doesn't help that I have two cover/space hogs (Angel and Sprinkles) and I have the cat who tries to make himself comfortable in my hair. With those conditions, the incessant blare of my wood cutting snore and the baby tossing and turning, I find hubby on the couch more and more in the morning.

Hmmm...Thats what Danielle does...I am stuck on my side at the edge of the bed...I try to push her over but I dont want to wake her up...and then she takes the covers and wraps them around herself...Thank god it is never cold in our room.

Glad to hear we don't have any bedwetters, then.

But, it sounds like maybe Lucy and Ricky had it right!!!

my husband couldn't move his arm when he woke up today. I am not sure if that is my fault, but we defintely need a bigger bed!

I don't know what it's like to sleep with me since my DH has never said anything, but my DH is sooooo annoying. He grinds his teeth so bad! I have to smack him sometimes to get him to stop.

I'm a very good sleeper. I don't really move but my husband is a different story altogether. First he snores badly,
than sometimes he sleeps on his belly so for some weird reason sometimes he wakes up very violently like if he was choking, its the weirdest thing. I used to go into deep sleeps before but with the baby now I'm a very light sleeper.

Re: What's it like to sleep with you???

DH and I are both pretty decent sleepers. I do grind my teeth and he clanks his teeth together, but neither is loud enough to wake you, but it can be annoying if you're trying to sleep. But if either of us are drunk, it's a whole different story! I flail around like a fish out of water and DH has been know to drop 20 pound dead weight legs over me! lol!

I like to stretch all over the place, but its really not a big deal since we have a king size bed and all the room in the world. lol

FH is the worst cover hog ever and he's always waking me up because of that and I'm always waking him up, because I average about 2-3 bathroom trips a night and I'm quite the klutz in the dark.

We have a King (I don't know HOW we ever slept when he stayed at my apt back in the day & I only had a full) and it's still not big enough!!!!

Re: What's it like to sleep with you???

When FH and I used to travel back and forth to visit each other at our different colleges, we would share a twin bed. (Luckily, we both always had single rooms!) I think that made us 'close sleepers'. because now, no matter how big the bed is, we're *thisclose*.

Drawbacks: FH snores with his mouth open, and its pretty smelly sometimes (especially if there was beer involved that night)... and I often headbutt in my sleep. Too tired to talk or open my eyes, and it just takes a tiny bit of effort to SLAM MY FOREHEAD into his. I know, I'm just not a nice person.

We're almost at the point of just lining the whole bedroom with mattresses and calling it a night.

FH said my sharp little elbows and knees are too pointy and if I don't control my jimmy legs he's going to make me sleep on a tick of hay in the backyard!!

A tick of hay!!!!
