How do you and your SO sleep?

Re: How do you and your SO sleep?

  • We are all of these but mostly the top left and bottom right. 

     Studies show these are the top 4 ways people sleep.

  • Top left and bottom left (minus the weird twisted arms)

  • It depends. If baby is in bed we're like the lower left with the baby safely tucked in the middle. Otherwise upper left or one of us spooning the other (we're equal opportunity spooners).

  • Generally top left. He snores really loud, so it's rare that we sleep facing each other.
  • Top right, except my leg would be over his.
  • Top left.  Sometimes it's we're at the same level, sometimes he does scoot down in the bed like the picture shows.  I can't snuggle or spoon for too long because it's uncomfortable and H is too damn hot and we end up sweating.  Gross.

  • For us it's the top left. We never cuddle while sleeping, not sure why other than DH is always way to warm and get's frustrated if I'm cuddling with him when he's trying to go to sleep.

     This is hilarious!

    We are all of them except the bottom right. H never sleeps on his stomach.  We rotate through all three most nights before we fall asleep. We also spoon often and I'm usually the "big spoon" :)

  • We pretty much face away from each other or rather I face away from him and he sleeps on his belly. However our Boston terrier sleeps between us so we can't really cuddle anyway.

  • We start off the top right. After a few minutes of my cuddle time, we switch to the top left or bottom left and stay that way til morning. DH gets too hot so we can't cuddle while sleeping.

  • Either of the two top ones.

  • We rotate through most of those positions, however we predominately spoon while we sleep. H is almost always behind me, and I sleep w/ his hands tucked into my chest where mine almost under my chin.

    That middle one is how our pup sleeps nowadays! I don't know why he feels the need to take up the whole bed!

  • We used to be all of them. The bottom left was common except my bottom leg would be straight and top leg over his legs. Sometimes he'd be on his back or his stomach... we always interwined our legs like that... gosh I miss having someone to sleep next to....
  • None of those. Well,okay, sometimes we kinda end up in the top left except not touching at all,  but we always start out spooning with him behind me.

  • Definitely top left. Every night.

  • We usually sleep back to back, generally not touching.  I would imagine that at some point we are butt to butt.  I can't fall asleep with him next to me, because he snores, so he comes to bed after I'm already sleeping, so I'm not really sure how we fall asleep on the rare occasions that we fall asleep together.

    This is us, to a T. We start out spooning most nights, but only for about 5 minutes, then we go to our sides of the bed. As one of our friends commented this past summer, DH sleeps like Dracula in his coffin: on his back, arms folded on his stomach. He will occasionally shift to his stomach but usually just on his back. NOTHING is allowed to touch him, give off light, or make any noise. He is the most finicky sleeper I have ever met.  Should be really fun once a baby comes on the scene, haha!

  • I looked at this and laughed. Are you guys really that intimate when you are sleeping?! DH and I have a king size bed and stick strictly to our own sides. We have never met in the middle, even on accident, once....ever. It's almost like there is no one else in bed and it is WONDERFUL. Ha.

    We are the same way. We love our sleep to much that we just roll over...

    That and between our dogs and kids...we get pushed out to the side.

    Us, too! DH always jokes that the king size bed is the best purchase we ever made, for exactly this reason!
