Ah that's another subject. Allowing dogs or cats into your bed.

And of course, you probably completely object. That’s why I added the ‘I don’t care’ at the end. I really don’t. It’s my bed. My dogs and it’s not hurting you or anyone else for that matter. 🤷‍♀️
 
Tom, Dick, Mo and Harry go on a hunting trip to a cabin with two bedrooms. Tom and Dick share one, Mo and Harry share the other.

Everyone retires for the evening. The next morning, Harry bounds out into the living room, bright-eyed and busy-tailed, ready for a day of hunting. Mo staggers out of the room, bleary-eyed and foggy. He complains to Tom and Dick that Harry snored like a buzzsaw all night and he couldn't get a wink of sleep. Dick says he'll share with Harry tonight because he claims he can sleep through anything.

The next morning, Dick shows up to breakfast in as bad a shape as Mo was yesterday. He says that he's never slept with anyone who snores as bad as Harry. Harry, as usual, is bright and sunny because HE got a good night's sleep. Tom agrees to share the room with Harry that night.

The next morning, Mo and Dick wait to see what kind of condition Tom is in after a hard night with Harry's snoring. To their surprise, Tom comes out of the room looking rested and ready to face the door. Harry, on the other hand, looks like he had a hard night.

They take Tom aside and ask him what happened. How did he sleep with Harry's snoring?

"Nothing to it," brags Tom, "As soon as we got in bed, I rolled over, kissed Harry on the cheek and said "I'm really looking forward to our night together, darling", and he got up and sat in the chair all night. Not a sound out of him!"
 
I have slept with daughters, grandchild , SO. Not a lot of rest from kicking, snoring, mumbling in sleep

However, one funny incident. Was at a ladies retreat and had to double up in 2 queen beds (4 of us sharing a room). As usual when ladies get together, we talked and laughed until past midnight, then decided we better get some sleep.

Lights off, everyone settling in…. Then one of the ladies said, “good night, John Boy” and that sent us into gales of laughter again 😂😉
 
I have not shared a bed with another male for decades. I honestly can’t remember when. I was probably elementary age. I have shared rooms with another guy from time to time. But, I don’t snore much and others do, so I just pay for my own room. I would rather have my own private room with Motel 6 than share a room at a much nicer hotel. In the past when I traveled with a female, I let the lady make the room reservation(s). That keeps me from getting into trouble if I haven‘t read the vibes correctly.
 
Mr. Jones is a successful businessman who has a wife he loves and several children. He finds he has to travel out of state for a few days to negotiate a big deal that will be highly profitable. He dedices to take Ms. Smith his assistant who knows the business almost as well as he does and has a legal background. He makes a reservation for two rooms with one bed in each.

They arrive at the hotel and find out that the hotel mistakenly booked in one room with two beds. No other rooms are available anywhere as Taylor Swift is performing that week in the area. Embarrassed, he tells Ms. Smith she can have the room and he will sleep on the couch in the hotel lobby. Ms. Smith assures him she understands the situation, and reminds him that need needs to get a good nights sleep to be ready for tough negotiations the next day. They take the one room, take turns in the bathroom changing into their PJs, and each climbs into their separate bed. They leave the window open for ventilation, but soon the room gets rather cold. Ms. Smith tells Mr. Jones she is cold and needs to warm up. She asks Mr. Jones, if for one night, can they can pretend they are a married couple. Mr. Jones agrees and tells her to “Get up and shut the window yourself .”
 
The OP didn't say so but probably meant sleeping under bed sheets with strangers wearing night clothes like pajamas or whatever. Very different than sleeping on top of a bed with someone else in street clothes. Centuries ago European travelers during winters at inns often slept in communal beds for warmth.

With wilderness backpacker groups, some neophytes will share a tent to reduce carrying weights. Did that in tents with brothers as twentysomething but that strategy ended quickly because they snored. Cannot sleep near anyone that snores or has strong body odors of either gender. Not only does this person never snore, but also oddly, I almost never move while asleep. Would be safe without restraints sleeping on a cliff ledge. Am easily woken up from even deep sleep by sub-conscious senses that was an evolutionary advantage when humans had to worry outdoors against wild animals and other tribes. Also dream 100% of the time while asleep thus not just during REM sleep. Can sleep in odd positions and often do so sitting up and on non-flat surfaces.

As a young Counterculture person, would sometimes crash overnight at parties that might be a large soft chair, couch, or someone's floor mattress. Note when a person crashed so, they still wore all their street clothes so like being in a crammed fox hole in the military. On queen or king sized beds, crashed with 1 or 2 unfamiliar women at times and will still do so. Being a small easy to fit beside male with a nice non-aggressive vibe, gals tend to trust me. And I do sometimes enjoy calmly sleeping arms legs wrapped around small thin women like an octopus.
 
Other than the obvious sharing a bed with my ex husband when we were married and dating and then sharing a bed with some other men while in romantic relationships after I was divorced, I have shared a bed with my granddaughter who even though is the smallest human I have shared a bed with she took up the most room in the bed. :)

I now mostly just share my bed with my dog unless he is too lazy to hop up on the bed and he decides to sleep in his bed on the floor at the bottom of my bed.

Some of what you say is just like me - not the last sentence though!

I am very still, I don't move hardly at all. In fact I will wake and have to turn over to avoid getting stiffened into place. I can sleep anywhere sitting up etc. My husband moves a lot, also takes over most of the bed and duvet. Very annoying at times but at least he doesn't snore.

Good point about what clothing is worn. It makes a difference if you sleep fully clothed on top of the covers and that's a good solution in an emergency to save embarrassment.

I have a queen size bed and it is ALL MINE!! The crate(s) for the dog(s) is/are in the bedroom. I am a snorer and husband (deceased) slept in the guest bedroom which had a television (I refused to give up my bedroom!).
 
Motel 6 permits only 2 dogs per room; otherwise, my DEAR would have slept with my 3 Boxers in her bed.
Not enough space for me; I had to sleep in the other bed. Question: who actually is more important?
Well, being 87 my DEAR obviously feels safer in a motel room with my two 90 pound boys than with me.

I have slept in a bed with my two great-granddaughters. Pretty soon, both of them will be pressed against me and I'm on the edge of the bed. I get up, go to the other side and go to sleep. Pretty soon, I'm half off the bed as they bulldoze me. Rinse and repeat all night long.

For comic relief, a couple of times during the night one of them will decide to sleep crossways. Then I usually get a foot to the face or the stomach or a leg wrapped around my neck.

It's an adventure I'm not ready to give up yet. They'll grow up all too soon.....
