I'm somewhat struggling in finding a position where myself and my partner can fall asleep comfortable together in.

I try the good ol spoons but her pillow is first larger than mine so i'm not level with her and secondly, the good ol arm gets trapped either beneath us, by my head or underneath her torso so it's not ideal.

for those of you who regurlarly go to bed with other people, how do you manage it because i'm having to practically sleep on the other side of the bed after about half an hour of trying various things and it's slightly annoying

cheers
 
These Co-Dependant "I can't think for myself" Threads are getting really f-ing annoying!
 
Her on the floor me on the bed.

Comfy as anything.

I find next to each usually works best. All that spooning malarky is only comfortable in films. Oh, and before anyone else says it, Mallrats.
 
We tend to snuggle back-to-back. We overheat otherwise. We only tend to really spoon if we're cold [when we've just got into bed], if one of us has nightmared [doesn't happen very often and we normally roll back over], or if we're talking. Otherwise, it gets too hot and uncomfortable, and we both fidget too much.

Make em sleep on the floor, or in a kenal by the side of the bed.
That's what I do.

Seriously tho-

Sleeping in bed with someone else is never as good as sleeping in a bed on your own, if it's sleep ur after.

Actually, I sleep really badly on my own. Always have.
 
I spoon with my wife. :)

I don't sleep well without her in bed with me now ... :(

I never really did find a great position for my arm with spooning. Of course it's easier with some than with others. The smaller your girl is, the easier, though sometimes arm suffocation still can occur. Eventually you just get used to one arm being uncomfortable, and you learn to just put it out of your head and not notice it. Then it becomes more comfortable. I've found the longer you search for different ways to put it, the further you get from comfort. Just accept the discomfort and you'll find your comfort. Zen.
 
Perhaps the key is the pillows. My wife is shorter and fits perfectly for spooning. Her pillow is very puffy so my arm, while big, can slide in and out and she is used to that so even sound asleep I can pull it out. My pillow is one of those shaped foam ones so I can sneak it up on hers and my head and neck are still perfectly aligned.

Try different pillows and see if that helps. If not, then you can always have her reverse spoon you?

Good luck!
 
I don't necessarily dislike "cuddling" but I need my own space. I move a lot in my sleep so even if I fall asleep holding a woman, I usually wake up facing away from her.

Also, my present girlfriend gives off immense body heat. Even in the middle of winter, it's almost too much.

But when I do fall asleep, I'm usually on my side with either my arm under the pillow under her head or between us with the other hand over her.

ha, i forgot to mention sides, she currently sleeps on the side of the bed i normally do when i'm alone, and i move closer to the wall but i can't seem to fall asleep at all if she is behind me.

we tend to both fave the right side of the bed, sometimes i spoon her, sometimes she spoons me (then facing the left) but i generally end her kicking her away from me because she is a heavy sleeper but tends to move around a lot and steals duvet.

the thing is i can't have her too far away from me because by some bizzare reason, she sleep-realises when i'm not in contact with her and goes on a search and destroy mission to find me (all asleep :eek: ) it#s madness, i'm a prisoner in my own bed
 
me on my back,with my g/f's head on my chest
 
I like lying on my back with her partially on top.
see, this is good but usually for kinda semi morning, snoozing rather than hardcore deep sleeping, at least for me...

i generally cant really sleep well on my back which is unfortunate because this is generally the most comfortable, especially if her top leg is stretched out over mine.

When did people stop being able to sleep alone? Cuddling and spooning are ruining america I tell ya :p

I can't think of a more comfortable rest than when I'm alone. I can make good use of the entire bed and fidget all I want. My g/f is the one who'd rather sleep on top of me if she had her way.
 
Back to back. :o

Any other way and I'd be awake all night. :csad:

Which is alll gooooood.
 
ill spoon with her for a while, but i cant fall asleep unless im laying on my stomach
so after a little bit i just kiss her and roll over, she usually puts her arm around me though
