Do you sleep cuddled up with your DH?

[Anonymous]

We sleep in separate rooms. He snores, I cough. We spent our first year of marriage fighting about it and neither one of us getting any sleep. We finally decided to sleep apart. We have since had two kids (with a third on the way), and remain happily married. Best decision we ever made!

Ha ha ha! That's me too! I get so territorial with the bed. LOL, I even make sure that the pilloes are right on center, and when DH who tends to spread his arms during sleep puts his hands on mine, i get super annoyed, and push him back to his 'half' of the bed Yes, we cuddle before falling asleep, usually for 10-15 minutes, which I enjoy, but then we kiss goodnight, and each turns to his side. DH is also a heavy snorer, so often one of us ends up on the couch by 2 am. Yes, we also have two duvets, mine usually ends up between my legs, so DH used to wake up without a blanket. I think our next step, whenever we get to move to a bigger house is definitely 2 bedrooms, one for me and one for DH - mainly for the snoring issue.

Gave up cuddling with my husband during sleep when I got my body pillow. Huge improvement! My body pillow never gets too hot, snores or complains when I shift around.

Nah. We cuddle for a while if we go to bed at the same time, but when we're really starting to fall asleep, we move to our separate sides of the bed. Sometimes I'll put a hand on him for some contact if I wake up in the middle of the night. Or I put my feet by him, during winter, because the man radiates heat! This has been true our whole relationship.

The only time we ever fall asleep cuddled up is after sex! For some reason, we can both fall asleep at that time and no other. (Not for very long -- under an hour -- but still asleep.)

I have my own blanket too!

This is us! Except our DD is about to take DH's room, and he's going to have to come back to my room. Snoring and all.

Occasionally when DH is very stressed out I'll wake up in the middle of the night and find him clutching me like a teddy bear, fast asleep. Fortunately, he doesn't snore.

That's sweet!

Ditto! I get terrible sleep when he has to work an all-nighter (every couple of months), which he always does at home because he hates to miss DD's bedtime. I get all confused about where he is since we usually cuddle or at least sleep right next to each other, touching. Better than giving up bedtime and us-time beforehand though.

Nope.

Studies have actually shown that while we all think sleeping alone is lonely, we actually get better sleep alone.

I totally believe it. I haven't slept well since DH and I started living together. Wish we had our own rooms. I bet it would be better for our sex life, too-- Kind of like the anticipation while dating again.

No. And he sleeps buried under the covers, I sleep on top with a light blanket.
