Relationship Test: How Close Do You Sleep?

We start out facing the same direction but end up back to back. I am a hot sleeper,he gets cold. I want a King bed but he refuses,he prefers we keep the Queen. Says when we sleep in a King (hotel or whatever) he "loses" me. I wouldn`t know-when I`m asleep,I`m dead to the world. He wakes up a lot during the night.
 
We have a king size bed, and both of us change sleeping positions throughout the night. We could both sleep in the same direction, face to face or back to back. Neither of us are really back sleepers, but sometimes start out that way until we relax. We do more spooning when the weather is cool, like when we're out camping...or else it just gets too hot.
 

Nobody sleeps in one position all night.

I prefer a king sized bed. Cuddles before sleep is nice but when I'm ready to sleep I need my space.
 
Should I keep my king sized Sleep Number bed, or get a single one? This one is ten years old. :dunno: I don't seem to be able to sleep much right now, but then again I sleep fitfully because of the arthritis in my hips. :wave:
 
I think if my husband was no longer with me, I'd downsize to a queen or full size bed, only because the bedroom is so tiny, there's hardly any space around the bed the way it is now. I'll always have a dog or cat sleeping with me, I wouldn't personally recommend going smaller than full. :sleep:
 
Because I have a number of sleep related problems (RLS snoring and insomnia) we have separate bedrooms. I'm not sure that even if I didn't suffer from these we wouldn't still enjoy the luxury of separate bedrooms. This probably stems from the fact we are both introverts. I've certainly spoken to many married individuals who I think would benefit enormously from separate bedrooms.

Separate bedrooms for the past 20 years!! Snoring and early rising the reason. When we built this home, I change the blueprint so that the master bath had a door from the second bedroom..We share the master bath and I have unlimited visiting rights to the master bedroom!!trink40.gif

I pretty much do because the second-and I do mean second-I turn onto my left side,the reflux hits. Makes hubby laugh because it is instantaneous.

I can't sleep on my back because I immediately snore and wake myself up, so I'm on stomach or either side. Sleep studies show we change positions dozens of times each night.
 
we sleep back to back on a queen size bed.....our children said we need a new bed ...well mattress, and wife is thinking about a king size...... last summer we talked about putting carpet in the bed room and now if we are getting a new bed other things need to be done as well, the room needs new windows and if I am going to do that I might as well rebuild the closets ...so this coming spring I am going to gut the room and most likely not sleep all summer as I work again on our 100 year old house....
 
The wife and I start by facing each other holding hands. We do have an adjustable King bed which we love. After a few minutes of facing each other, I turn over and eventually fall asleep. This is a typical sleep pattern for me. Every spike is some type of movement which I do an awfully lot of. My wife's has very few spikes on her pattern.

True! And some who would benefit from different houses.;)
 
I would like to get a king size bed, but hubby won't agree when we have stayed at a motel with a king size bed he hates it, I love it ... At least I get some room.. I'm 5 ft tall and hubby is 6'2 and he puts his legs On my side and if I want to stretch out I can't , he says he only uses that area because I dont need It. We have a fight over the sheets, quilt in the winter I like my shoulders covered and he likes his arms out so its a tug o war to have the quilt over my shoulders
I like the sound of Ken N TX' s arrangement sounds good if we ever get another home built.

We have been in this house 15 years now and it has worked out great!! I have a double bed and she has a queen..bananapowerslide.gif
 
I remember when we first got a king sized bed. It was the first time I had ever slept with a woman and didn't touch her. But we have downsized from a four bedroom house to a two, one of which is used for an office. The King-sized bed is gone, replaced by a queen. My house is so small that when we bring in something new, we have to throw something out.
 
I agree with you AZ Jim, love on my opinion, is caring for and being loving and kind to a partner,not what go's on between the sheets.
