Title: Sharing a bed with your gf/wife/life partner
Post by: Benja on April 03, 2011, 09:36:57 PM
Tell me some stories of annoying/crazy stuff they do in their sleep. Especially those that have managed to sleep with the same person for more than a couple weeks now. This girl I've been seeing lately has some pretty ridiculously annoying sleeping habits and I need to know I can get past this. Is this kind of stuff common? Do you just get used to it/fix her/etc.? I broke up with a girl once because she snored, and for all I know she could have been "the one".  :dubious:

This girl if pretty equally awesome and adorable, and if possible I'd like to make my important relationship decisions based on things like that instead of solely sleep compatibility.  :frown:

i'm a very talented sleeper (dont move a lot, breathe very quietly) so i have a feeling this will be a downfall for me as well in choosing a long time partner.

She does this thing where she'll migrate from her side of the bed towards the middle pretty much every single night and end up like right on top of me. Pretty much my only strict rules are when it's time to sleep I need my room to spread out a bit, and I can't sleep if I'm hot. Her rolling on top of me every night pretty much fucks both of these up.

Also, she woke me up at 7:30 this morning so hung over that I couldn't get back to sleep because she had rolled over to a couple feet away from me and was reciting in her sleep what sounded like Lady Gaga lyrics directly into my ear. This is the third time this has happened.

My wife did this.  Wake her up and move her.  She will feel bad and move.  eventually will stop.

My wife slowly stopped doing this.

i don't go to bed until i am ready to pass out from exhaustion.  as a result, i sleep through absolutely anything.  sometimes, i don't make it to bed before i pass out, which would also solve your problem.  don't try unless you're super tough.

This is exactly how I am. I'm pretty much increds to sleep with but if someone is rumbling around throwing elbows and muttering nonsense it throws me all out of wack. It just sucks how many people can't just lay still and be quiet and stuff.

A life lesson from Scrubs:
 
Quote
Dr. Kelso: I'm just here to get a nasal speculum.

Carla: I just wish I didn't hate that mole so much.

Dr. Kelso: I used one of these on my wife once. She's a terrible snorer. She used to keep me up all night. I made her have the surgery but, of course, that just made things worst. But here's a twist: now, whenever she goes out the town, I can't fall asleep without the sound of that gasping, weezing woman lying right next to me. Trust me, if I ever met a Japan air-stewardess who snored like Enid I'd marry her tomorrow. But here's the point: you might find out that thing you hate so much is the very same thing you miss when it's gone.

A swift kick to the shins stops snoring for about 5 minutes. Would probably keep someone to their side of the bed as well.

Next time she does that, attempt to PIITB. That'll put a quick end to her crap.

My mom does this thing where she'll scream bloody murder in the middle of the night and punch my dad in the face/stomach. She gave him a bloody nose once. This happens ever few weeks now since I was a kid. My Dad just jokes about it. He tells hilarious stories at family reunions about it. So yeah, after almost 30 years of marriage stuff like that probably doesn't seem like such a big deal.

My sister in law has these.  My bro tells me stories all the time about them.  Her's are less the screaming bloody murder kind and more the waking up my bro and whispering that someone just climbed in through the window kind.  Really freaked him out for the first year or two.

My wife talks in her sleep a lot and ever since our son was born, she'll actually make hand motions with them.

For example, she had a dream that my son was falling and she tried to catch him.  What really happened was she said, "Mmmrrphhhalaa..." and then hit me in the face.

Another night, I came to bed late, and apparently I made a noise that she heard, and she just jumped up like a cat does when it's frightened suddenly and said, "Muummmalaa".  Scared the cac out of me.

We laugh about it.  Stuff like that cracks us up.  I snore like a mad man, and she puts up with it, so we just deal with each other's stuff.

No memory at all, per her.

It is really weird because my bro said that she is genuinely freaked out during them.  Like she has tried to call 911 before.  She would try to wrestle the phone from my bro because "they are in the room and have a gun"...

It's funny to talk about, but would freak the crap out of me if my wife did this.
