Sleeping with your partner V sleeping solo?

Kiith · 09-09-2009 09:10AM

Definitely better sleeping with a partner. After months of sleeping alone, trust me on this.

Talking about this on today fm right now.

Spoons is the best

separate beds ftw.
that way i can retreat to my own bed and don't have to sleep in the gooey mess.
seriously though separate beds for prolonging of relationship (where i'm concerned anyway.)
preserve the mystery.

Gummy Panda · 09-09-2009 09:47AM

Nah! Sometimes when you wake up, you want to cuddle and bite someone.

I also have a king size bed....not that it matters though because the GF does this thing she likes to call the "starfish".

My missus does that too. It means I end out with a sliver of the bed but i always sleep on my side at the edge anyway.

Still prefer the company to sleeping alone.

Naos · 09-09-2009 10:11AM

Well I guess I should come forth and admit, I too do the starfish sometimes.

Although my mate calls it "Starman" - we had to sleep in the same bed a few times, holiday situations and what not.

He came up with a brilliant solution though, which was to hit me in the stomach. With herself it's not too bad, I'd just spoon/sleep on my front.

TheTubes · 09-09-2009 10:19AM

We share a queen size bed and its grand.
Although it was very hard to get any sleep when she was staying at my place in college, single beds are def only made for one.
maybe all the beds in this guys sleep clinic are single beds and that skewed the results of his tests?

That's you off the list for a start.

Aye, but if I sleep on my stomach, I sleep silently.

There's nothing more disenchanting than sleeping with someone that snores loudly / kicks you / talks in their sleep.

That's why people don't like sleeping in the same bed as me

I hate sleeping in a bed with someone, I even hate sharing a room. I can only sleep properly if I have solitude, quiet and complete darkness. So when I'm cohabiting I will demand my own room, with the occasional sleepover.

Jesus. I assume you're female?

Nobodys mentioned twiching? does anyone twitch? I've been told that I have the so bad that the OH thinks I'm having a fit. I'm supposed to be really bad. Arms, legs, everything seemingly twiches when I'm in full sleep

Not for steak though

For all ye snorers, a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water, 3 times a day should help a lot.

you may be happy, but is your partner???

pickarooney · 09-09-2009 02:20PM

Partner or no partner makes no odds when the feckin' baby wakes you up every few minutes. Never heard something that small snore that loud.

Tif · 11-09-2009 12:12AM

You can't beat sleeping with your partner. I am a sucker for cuddles and hugs. I had a habit of following him wherever he went in the bed. I didn't do it on purpose. Think maybe I was looking for warmth

Sleeping with a partner is nice just knowing that if I ever wanted a cuddle they are right there to give one which I looked for a lot

but I do agree that the bed has to be big. King size would be perfect for the nights when it is just too hot.

candy-gal1 · 11-09-2009 12:19AM

since meeting my OH iv never had a better sleep!
i love falling asleep in his arms, and then waking up to a kiss and a cuddle!:D

I don't love the special person in my life planting their freezing cold foot on my leg to heat it up.

This!

Lol yes i am roasting hot but i dont need iced legs thank you! Its worse if its on your back though - the tempatation to roll away when semi asleep can lead to falling out on the floor!

Seriously though, always better to sleep holding the one you love than lonely IMO

That apple cider vineger is good for helping loose weight I believe but not much good if previously ,the person next to you has had a belly full of vodka .

Cold feet touching ones legs ...ahhhhhhhhh

lightangel · 12-09-2009 06:50PM

I've been sleeping solo for well over a year and at first it was really difficult getting used to sleeping alone, now I worry that I'll never want to share my bed. Went a bought a savage comfortable mattress so now I sleep so much better, feel better. I've become possesive over my sleep! How did that happen? Seriously it puts me off meeting someone new cause of the sleep issue...The fact I like it so much..wtf?

Tough one!

This thread isn't asking whether people prefer to have sex or not have sex. Sex is great but so is a good night's sleep. But if I don't have to get up for work the next day, different story. And yes, spooning is the bomb.

Well I'm familiar with both, and when I need a good sleep, 'tis sleeping alone for me.

Hehe, I do the exact same thing... She's always giving out to me for taking up most of the bed, but that's only because I keep following her warmth until she's perched on the edge of the bed

I personally sleep sounder now than I ever have after moving in with my GF... Nod off to sleep without fail pretty much every night, and you just can't beat waking up next to your lovely lady every morning.

Studies prove that 95% of scientific studies are a load of cock...

Dudess · 12-09-2009 07:10PM

It is lovely, but sh1te when you've to prise yourself from them to get up for work.

The people who are insisting nobody could prefer sleeping alone are obviously heavy sleepers - spare a though for us poor wretched light sleepers.

Snoring is just a creation of the devil :mad:
Someone mentioned sharing a single bed - ooh god yeah, forget about even a wink of sleep in my case. And add snoring to that - insomnia how are ya.

I mean if you think you're not getting decent sleep then by all means go ahead (hopefully your partner will understand), but if you were listen to every scientist linking mundane, everyday things to heart disease because there may be a 0.0000000001% chance of it then you'd be living in a bubble.

Didn't you hear. Living in a bubble can increase the risk of bowel cancer.

AckwelFoley · 12-09-2009 07:26PM

My fiance has a very tough time in bed with me apparently.

Last night alone, she didnt sleep a wink due to the fact im rather dangerous to sleep with

When im asleey im known for my arms and legs to fly around the bed without warning while im asleep, im told i sleep in the swastika position, and change to a crouching tiger in an instant. Im 6'4 and weigh 18 stone, so when my arms come crashing down on her face .. it wakes her up, and she spends the rest of the night too afraid to sleep.

Im not taking her word on this i know this to be true, as one night i gave her a head but square into the mouth, i hit her so hard i woke myself up.. to her screams on impact.

Im rather fortunate ive such a large penis, because im certain she would leave me if it were not for that fact.

"Couples should consider sleeping apart for the good of their health, an expert has said.

Mmmm sleep alone and w**k alone

Sleep with the better half and make lots of sweet loving:D

Dudess · 12-09-2009 09:01PM

Sleeping alone and sex are not mutually exclusive - nobody is suggesting you deny yourself sex.

Sleeping with your partner V sleeping solo?
