Sharing a bed

[(Anonymous)]

What's so great about it (apart from easy sex)? It seems to me that sleeping next to another person must be pretty annoying: you can't move freely, there's the other person's smell, body heat, snoring, can't emit any bodily function... So many things that can disturb your sleep. Sleeping alone seems more comfortable.

Why do most couples decide to share a bed instead of having their own bedrooms?

half the money
half the space
half the laundry
heat in cold temperatures

>can't emit any bodily function

Have you never trusted a friend enough that you could fart freely in front of them?

Re: Sharing a bed

[(Anonymous)]

I've never really done it, but I imagine the whole physical-closeness-and-intimacy thing could be rather nice.

Re: Sharing a bed

[(Anonymous)]

This post is so innocently hilarious.

Why don't people just buy one car for every person in the family??

Re: Sharing a bed

[(Anonymous)]

I've discovered, with my present girlfriend, that I sleep better in a bed with her in it. I feel safe.

Re: Sharing a bed

[blitzwing]

I don't get the appeal either, nonny. I can't even sleep in the same room as someone who snores. How people put up with that is beyond me.

Re: Sharing a bed

[(Anonymous)]

I think I would hate it even if I were in a relationship. I'd rather just sleep on the floor or the couch (I do anyway most nights...)

Re: Sharing a bed

[herpymcderp]

I personally like it, but only with certain people. I do find it harder to fall asleep, but I also find it comforting to have someone in close proximity in case of... I dunno, velociraptors or zombie apocalypse. Some couples see it as a test of intimacy and tolerance.

I don't need it to have a functional relationship though.

Re: Sharing a bed

[(Anonymous)]

Some couples don't share a bed. You don't have to, either, if you don't want to.

For other people, the physical closeness is pleasant and some people find sharing very comforting. My aunt once said she never slept soundly through the night after breaking up with her ex-husband until she started sharing a bed with her now-husband. In cold environments, it's also a nice way to keep warm. Finally, as other have said, it saves on space/furniture/bedding and that can give you more flexibility in where you can live and save on money.

Re: Sharing a bed

[ariakas]

I'm the lightest sleeper I've ever met; I also have exceptionally good hearing. Just the sound of someone else's breathing is enough to keep me awake all night, let alone snoring, and a single movement on their part will wake me up (and leave me unable to fall back to sleep). When I was a teen I'd go to sleepovers where we'd always end up crammed onto a couple of beds. I'd lie awake for a couple of hours, then go move to the couch in a different room. Having someone - even someone I loved - keep me awake all night would make me resent them.

Sleep deprivation is an effective form of torture, and destroys your health. So nah, I'm never going to co-sleep. Even with my own bedroom, though, I have to sleep with earplugs and a sound-proofed door or the noises they make getting up to go to the washroom at night or making themselves breakfast wake me up instantly.

That said other people sleep like rocks, so I'm sure the comfort/heat/intimacy outweighs the inconvenience in their cases.

Re: Sharing a bed

[sarillia]

I used to think I wouldn't like it but then I shared a bed with my girlfriend when I would stay at her place and I did like it. No logical reason, I just did.

Re: Sharing a bed

[kallanda_lee]

Because people are weird. This is why I prefer the couch.

Re: Sharing a bed

[(Anonymous)]

I have a double bed just for me, feels awesome.

Re: Sharing a bed

[malurette]

A friend told me it has to do with warmth, cuddles and intimacy. Personnally, I hate the idea of sharing a bed with anyone, so I'm not convinced but hey, whatever works for her, I guess, as long as I don't have to share it myself?

Re: Sharing a bed

[fingalsanteater]

I dunno. I guess it's annoying sometimes, but I can't sleep if my fiancé isn't in bed with me.

Re: Sharing a bed

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, I felt that way before I got married and was worried I wouldn't be able to get used to it, but I did. We have a large enough bed that there's plenty of room and I don't sprawl much in my sleep. In the winter, I appreciate the body heat. As for "can't emit any bodily function", well, I don't know what to tell you but I've been married for ten years and any bodily function I'd emit alone is fair game, 'cause that's just how it is.

Re: Sharing a bed

[nightscale]

I share a bed with my bf but to be completely honest I'd rather have my own, but we don't have the space for two beds so the one it is. Besides he really likes having someone in the same bed and so long as he doesn't touch me when I'm asleep I'm okay.

Re: Sharing a bed

[ginainthekingsroad]

Yep, I'm a wiggler/kicker and sleep-talker, so I pity any light-sleeping future SO of mine. I'm also pretty temperature-sensitive and someone else's body heat is probably a concern.

Re: Sharing a bed

[(Anonymous)]

I dunno, honestly. I like cuddling with my boyfriend, but I'd hate to share a bed with him and he feels the same way. He snores and has full blown conversations in his sleep. I toss and turn and, according to him, do some weird ninja kicks in my sleep. I need either the TV or radio to fall asleep, while he can't stand noises and perfers absolute silence. We're also blanket hogs.

Re: Sharing a bed

[philstar22]

I honestly don't know. Clearly it is a popular thing. But I can't deal with anyone touching me at night or any noises whatsoever. The few times I've had to share a bed with someone has been awful and I haven't gotten any sleep.

Re: Sharing a bed

[tabaqui]

Depending on the couple, it can be great, or it can be hugely annoying. A couple studies show that women sleep better alone, men sleep better with someone.

And a lot of couples are starting to go the separate bed/separate room way, so....

To each their own.

Re: Sharing a bed

[(Anonymous)]

You can totally fart in bed with you partner. Also unless you're sharing a twin there is enough room to move.

And besides the already pointed out - separate bedrooms is expensive point, one of the reasons I like sharing a bed is cause I have frequent nightmares and its so much easier to calm down if I wake up from one if someone is next to me. I takes some getting used to but I was able to adjust eventually. (It helps that I am the one who tosses in my sleep a lot and my partner can totally sleep through it.) (Also I was majorly touch starved for several years and now I kinda have a THING about really wanting physical contact idk)

Re: Sharing a bed

[(Anonymous)]

1) We have a queen-sized bed. There's plenty of space to move freely.
2) I like the way my SO smells.
3) I like body heat.
4) Neither of us snores.
5) Neither of us cares if the other farts.

It's comforting to sleep with my SO. I like knowing that he's right there, and I like being able to cuddle up against him. I also like how easy it makes initiating morning sex, which I love.

I don't like sleeping alone now. If one of us is sick, we'll sleep apart, and even though I know it's better that we do, I HATE it. I miss him terribly during those times, even though he's just in the other room and I see him during the day.
