Plus the dog gets on the bed and makes it too hot. .twist. on "Do you sleep better with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-better-with-your-so#post-606564 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 16:19:00 +0000 .twist. 606564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes. When he works nights I toss and turn and wake up thinking he's home often! When he's home at night I fall asleep so fast and usually sleep through the night (if I don't it's because of me, not because of something he does). aprk on "Do you sleep better with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-better-with-your-so#post-606562 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 16:18:40 +0000 aprk 606562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, when I'm not this pregnant and he doesn't snore too much ;) lovehoneybee on "Do you sleep better with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-better-with-your-so#post-606558 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 16:16:50 +0000 lovehoneybee 606558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, I don't sleep well when he's not there. He's going to MN for a leadership training summit for work in about a month and I'm dreading sleeping alone for a week. I'm hoping our cats will keep me company. blackbird on "Do you sleep better with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-better-with-your-so#post-606548 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 16:14:19 +0000 blackbird 606548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I sleep the same either way! As long as I'm tired, I sleep great. But he was deployed for a long time in our relationship, so I'm quite used to having a solo bed filled with kitties. He's the same way--he sleeps fine if I'm not there. illumina on "Do you sleep better with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-better-with-your-so#post-606277 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 15:04:36 +0000 illumina 606277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I sleep better alone. In our old house, which was bigger, we had separate bedrooms and whenever I was going through stressful times at work and had to get proper sleep, I would sleep in my own room! Now our spare bedroom is more of an attic replacement as we don't have one, so we sleep together all the time. It's not too bad, though he still wakes me up as I get too hot next to him, or he's restless, but I am waking up at least once a night to pee now anyway, so I guess it evens out!

If he isn't in bed or home then I wake up every hour and have a hard time getting back to sleep. littlebittyhouse on "Do you sleep better with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-better-with-your-so#post-606214 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 14:47:27 +0000 littlebittyhouse 606214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I sleep wayyyy better with DH than I do alone. Now if DH works late I lay daown with our LO :) MrsTiz on "Do you sleep better with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-better-with-your-so#post-606194 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 14:44:09 +0000 MrsTiz 606194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I actually sleep better without him. We don't cuddle, so it's not like I don't enjoy that.. it's just that I toss and turn for hours to fall asleep, and if I am alone I don't worry about it but when he is in bed I try and not flip so much which makes me miserable. Our mattress sucks, so DH has been ending up on the couch for about half the night and I get my best sleep when he's gone. I spread out, toss and turn all I want..ahhhh MamaMoose on "Do you sleep better with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-better-with-your-so#post-606190 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 14:43:45 +0000 MamaMoose 606190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes. I can't sleep alone in our house. I'm too terrified of intruders. To be fair I had an experience with an intruder in my parents home so I have reason to be nervous. betsyboop on "Do you sleep better with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-better-with-your-so#post-606173 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 14:38:08 +0000 betsyboop 606173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I feel like a weirdo because I prefer to sleep alone (but don't). I like to spread out and take up all of the bed! Is it bad to secretly enjoy having the bed to myself when DH is away on business trips? Lately on "Do you sleep better with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-better-with-your-so#post-606166 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 14:36:37 +0000 Lately 606166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Just like some others have mentioned, I have a harder time making myself go to bed and also falling asleep when DH isn't there, but I sleep much more soundly when I have the bed to myself.

Once I finally fall asleep, I tend to sleep harder.

Plus, the hubby is like a big ole heater, and I'm generally cold natured so it's nice and toasty in the evenings. haha! babynumber1 on "Do you sleep better with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-better-with-your-so#post-606086 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 14:12:29 +0000 babynumber1 606086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Stroller: LOL @ seperate bedrooms! I love when he's gone for the night. I get the whole bed to myself. mrskc on "Do you sleep better with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-better-with-your-so#post-606028 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 13:56:30 +0000 mrskc 606028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes! I fall asleep fast and sleep very soundly when he's there. ineebee on "Do you sleep better with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-better-with-your-so#post-606019 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 13:53:35 +0000 ineebee 606019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Stroller: You're not alone! I sleep better without DH because I love to take up the whole bed and I switch positions a zillion times before I can fall asleep. DH is also a chronic blanket-stealer, so there's that too. But in the end, waking up next to him makes all of that worth it. :) Bookish on "Do you sleep better with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-better-with-your-so#post-605992 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 13:47:55 +0000 Bookish 605992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes & no! I have a very hard time falling asleep with him there because he snores like the dickens, but without him there, I can't stay asleep!

I feel more secure with him there & I fall asleep easier but it's hard to sttn because he is such a restless sleeper. I slept on the couch a few nights ago and it was some of the best sleep I've had in a long time! Mrs. Stroller on "Do you sleep better with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-better-with-your-so#post-605975 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 13:42:16 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 605975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Haha, I'm going to be the odd one out and say no. But in my defense it's because he snores when he's really tired so it takes me forever to fall asleep when he's home. When he's on a flight, it's like a little slice of heaven with the big, silent bed all to myself :) ETA: I do need to have the alarm on when he's away though, I freak out about intruders. ETA: And his darn alarm goes off so early! Geesh I'm reading this and wondering if maybe we need separate bedrooms.

I fall asleep pretty fast too :) mrsjazz on "Do you sleep better with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-better-with-your-so#post-605940 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 13:34:15 +0000 mrsjazz 605940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I do. Whenever he's home late I can't sleep. I'm always worried about burglars getting in or monsters or Chucky. Even with his horrible snoring I sleep better. Even if he's not in the bed with me, but sleeping on the couch, I still feel safer and sleep better because I know he's there. (He stays up late grading papers and falls asleep on the couch or the living room floor often).

I fall asleep sooo much faster with DH there. But I think I sleep better during the night when I have the whole bed :-) autumnlove on "Do you sleep better with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-better-with-your-so#post-605929 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 13:31:57 +0000 autumnlove 605929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I wake up a lot when DH is working nights! I have a harder time falling asleep when we sleep together (he snores....) but I STTN! :-)
