Sharing a bed with your gf/wife/life partner

[Benja]

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".  

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.

So are you going to say what her annoying sleeping habits are?

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.

That's incredibly relieving to hear. I'm feeling better already.

get a bigger bed.  get two beds.

[Cire]

King is a must.  As is a small noisy fan

Bigger bed is the best thing you can do.  King or GTFO.

[gokatgo]

doesn't sound like anything a good punch in the tits couldn't cure

[Benja]

I have a queen. Will definitely upgrade as soon as possible. Will probably invent something even bigger than a king for myself and then get that.

[michigancat]

I like to spoon when I sleep.

[chum1]

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.
