Exhausted

Ceelie , on June 10, 2019 at 8:48 AM Posted in Married Life 0 39

So our wedding is in two and a half months, and we don't currently live together. But every now and then my FH will spend the night at my place such as last night, and whenever he does I sleep horribly! I can't tell if it's because I'm just not used to another human next to me? Or if it's because the bed isn't big enough? We took a nap in his bed which is a cal king and mines a queen. I slept fine through the nap in his bed, but not through the night in mine lol. Is this one of those things that gets better over time? How long did it take for you to get used to it??

    It took about 3 months for me to get used to it and now I hate sleeping without my FH. It could be the size of the bed. For me, I was just overheating. We turn the air down super low at night and we both sleep really well.

    I can almost guarantee you're sleeping poorly because you're just not used to sleeping next to someone else consistently. I never used to sleep well with anybody, including FH! Once we moved in together, I slowly grew accustomed to sleeping next to him, and now I hate sleeping without him. We also have a queen bed, so I don't think that's the issue for you

    It gets better until you get to the point in which it becomes challenging to fall asleep without your SO next to you. At least if you're like me, anyway...

    I definitely took time to get used to my fiance especially with things like he grinds his teeth and sometimes snores.

    Get a bigger bed, keep the room temperature lower and get good sheets. You'll sleep better.

    I've been with FH for 2 years and pretty much spending the night together right off the bat and I still haven't learned how to sleep with him Smiley xd Melatonin helps for sure and a noise machine! He snores alot so I think thats my main problem, even though its tough its getting better day by day. Although I sleep poorly with him still I sleep even worse without him

    It will get better over time. We are both snorers and if he fell asleep first it would take me a little longer. We are both used to it now that we have lived together for over a year.

    It does take time. The temperature does help as well. And it is also true you will hate sleeping without him.

    Odds are when you live together, you will get to the point where you can't sleep without him. I sleep fitfully without my FH.

    Most likely because you're not used to it ! That gets better for sure as time goes on! I have a queen bed, we sleep fine.

    It took me a while to get use to sleeping with my fiance at night. I used to stay at his place on the weekends and often did not sleep well but after a few weeks in our place I adjusted and now it feels weird to sleep without him.

    You'll get used to it. I have a hard time sleeping without him now. We have a queen and two dogs share the bed with us, so I dont think that's the issue. I still have trouble with his snoring, but you just become accustomed to it after awhile.

    My fiance has a full sized bed. Whenever I would stay at his place, one of us would end up on the couch. We just bought a house, and if I stay there, I sleep on the couch. I cant wai

    *I cant wait for our new bed to come.

    It might be the size of the bed, but tbh, my fiance and I sleep ok in a queen sized bed, and we're bigger people than you.

    It could just take some time. My fiance is getting better sleeping with me. I snore and thrash around. Poor guy.

    Just take his bed with you when you live together. Lol!

    I never really had to get "used to it". I had tiny humans sleeping with me up to the point that I started living with my FH. & we have slept in the same bed for 6 years and when/if I go to bed without him- I cannot sleep right. You will get used to it Smiley smile

    FH and I actually have our own bedrooms and queen sized beds and that works out wonderfully 😂 hear me out.. we work very different hours and knew when we started talking about moving in together that it wasn’t gonna last long if we were constantly waking each other up and running on no sleep. We still do sleep in the same bed as much as we can and if we know we’re going to bed/getting up at the same time. And we both enjoy having our own space. My room doubles as my office so that’s convenient too. For us, being able to sleep well is important and helps us each function better so it works, it’s not for everyone. But we did what we knew would be best for our relationship and lifestyles long term.

    It took me a good 3-4 months to get used to sleeping next to someone else. Especially since I already get super hot throughout the night, so having another body close to mine just made that worse.

    I’ve lived with my fiancé for two years and the longer we’re together the less we sleep together because it’s so difficult. Having your own comforter helps a lot and keeping the room cool. A lot of nights he ends up sleeping on the couch, not bc we’re fighting just so he can sleep.

    It took us a while to get used to it, and we have a queen bed. The worst thing was when we were dating, he had a full bed, and sometimes when I would stay over at his place, he would end up on the floor lol.

    It could be a combination of both. It would be a matter of time since you get use to it so no worries.
