csfong007 Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 I was wondering if you have difficulty sleeping next to your loved one. My boyfriend and I are very light sleepers and this has become a problem. I tried the couch and didn't sleep a wink. I'm going to try a recliner chair and the floor. He doesn't have an extra bed. My last option is to cuddle with him and then go home, but I don't want that. Help!
visotech Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 When my old girlfriend would visit me in the dorms we had terrible sleep on the dorm beds that were about 2.5 feet wide. So what I would do is push all the stuff out of the way, and make a bed on the floor with every soft blanket/sleeping bag I had. Then I would stretch a sheet over from the desk to the bed and in effect make a cute little tent for us She always loved it, so much more cosey and romantic
basscatcher Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 I am like this. My xbf is a twitcher when he sleeps at night and has restless legs. My xh was a heavy snorer. He could damn near rattle the pains of glass in the windows. How the hell can a person sleep with all that racket. I am a light sleeper too I hate poly filled pillows; my ears hurt when sleeping on them. I love my feather pillows. I also don't like springy mattresses or box springs for sleeping either. When your partner moves you feel like your going to spring off the bed. I have had a few bed partners that I can sleep well with. Usually the sexual tension is so high there is little sleep anyway.
AriaIncognito Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 I'm a light sleeper when it comes to sharing a bed as well so it gets tough, but i really really really don't recommend getting into separate sleeping quarters, at least not when you're young and whatnot. I did that with my last boyfriend, but it kinda put a damper on things. You can't be as intimate when you can't sleep in the same bed. With my current significant other, I stay with him. SOmetimes I sleep ok, sometimes i don't but at least I'm trying to get used to it. I want to get used to it. He's pretty good and doesn't really move a ton. Twitches a bit when he falls asleep sometimes but doesn't snore often or loudly when he does. So, do what you can. My mother wore earplugs for the longest time, if she still does, i'm not sure. Her husband was a really loud snorer. Good luck to you! Jennifer
norajane Posted June 1, 2006 Posted June 1, 2006 Sleeping together is wonderful, but yeah, strange as it sounds, you need time to get used to it. Just keep trying - you'll work it out.
