I'm just curious about something. For those who have always slept alone and are new to sleeping next to their FH or hubby. How did you adjust to sleeping with another person?
FH and I have been together 4 1/2 years and we have sleep overs from time to time where sleep in the same bed together and I rarely sleep. Most of the time I sleep off and on all night. I'm so use to my twin bed and stuff. I thought at first it might be that I didn't have my pillow I was use to. I always bring my pillow now and it doesn't help. Now his bed is not the most comfortable either and it creeks with any slight movement which wakes me up if either one of us rolls over in our sleep. But I know it's not so much that either because we've been on vacation a few times where we stayed in a hotel and the bed was comfortable (more than my own) and still I barely slept. I just find having someone so close to me I feel crowded and I get too warm from his body heat lol. I love having him close to me to cuddle up to and wake up but I also need my sleep. We're moving in together in a month and I'm worried I'm going to be suffering from lack of sleep lol. I work in day care with toddlers and need my rest to be on my toes with them! lol

I definately had this problem, It was bad, to the point where i would sneak to the couch for a few hours, then crawled back into bed so FH wouldnt notice, It gets easier, it takes some getting use to, also, once your used to being so close, when that changes, its the same thing over again, we went from a double at home to a king at a hotel, and FH and I HATED the distance between us! Just be thankful you 2 arent trying to fit on a twin! lol... been there done that.. NOT comfy!

lol yeah we attempted that on my twin bed once...didn't last long at all lol!
Thanks for the tips. We're hoping our new bedroom will be able to fit a queen sized bed or maybe a king. We have to get measurements for it.

| Getting used to each other can take some time. I have a friend that took nearly 2 straight months to get used to it. For us, it took about a week. What I would suggest is going out (if you can afford it) and get a new mattress. Go shopping together, so you can both test it out, find one you both like. There are many great mattresses out right now, you would be surprised. I found this helped alot because we both got used to the new bed. Just watch, soon you guys won't be able to sleep without each other. Don't stress out about it, just let it come naturally. Good luck!

| I'm a very light sleeper, and so every time fh moves he wakes me up, and he moves alot lol. But at least sleeping on a queen now is soooooo much better than sleeping on a hospital bed together (for those who don't know, a hospital bed is about as wide as a childs bed, but longer) which we still have to do once and a while when it's too cold in our outdoor room. I am getting used to it though, last time he was out here I slept through the night for once. And when it's too hot, I put the blanket between us, and that seems to work. Aside from being hot, I am actually most comfortable when parts of either of us are wrapped around the other, especially in winter, summer not so much lol. I only sleep with him a few times a month, and if I'm getting used to it, I'm sure you will too.

Yeah, it took me a few months to get used to it. It takes a while, but you will adjust. Then you'll feel like your sleeping is more back to normal. One thing I highly recommend though is investing in a big, high-quality bed for the both of you. FH and I have a queen size pillow-top. We didn't mind spending the extra money- it's so worth it. It makes a huge difference, believe me!

| we have a queen pillow top mattress and we love it.. but... DH and I don't sleep together much.. maybe 3 months a year.. otherwise he spends his nights on the road in his semi.. when he is home we start off close and having to share with 2 cats.. he isn't use to sleeping in a normal bed and ends up sleeping on the couch.. I used to get upset about it but now say I would rather him sleep on the couch than somewhere else.. the bed in his semi is soooooooooooooooooo uncomfortable..
