Or should I say "who else is a bitch like me?" My wife went out of town Thursday to stay at her mom's because her mom was feeling a little ill. I already knew I wasn't gonna be able to sleep, so I took the girls out to eat and stuffed my face hoping to slip into a food coma. We came back home and I surfed arf for about 4 hours, all while texting with my wife. Even though she was in Mexico, she was using a texting app with wifi. She couldn't sleep either. Fucking 4am and neither of us could sleep, texting each other like two stupid teenagers in love. So, does this silly shit happen to anyone else?

Yes & no.

I'm the same way. Every since I started "dating" I was never able to sleep alone.... It's either stay up all night on the net or chasing tail..... Now I'm in my 30's and married and when she isn't home I stay up all night.

It's not my preference, but I can.

Starting with his first hunting trip after we were married we have a tradition of taking the other one's pillow and leaving our own.

Pretty much. But she works minimum 24 hour shifts so I just have to deal with it

Yes, I love sleeping on the couch.

I don't sleep well when she is not with me

My wife works nights.

We have a king size bed. Its great to sprawl out and have some room.

However, I get the worst night of sleep when she's at work. Even with sleep aids, its still a shitty night.

When she stays up till 4/5 for her night routine, its better. She usually wakes me up when she comes to bed.

But when she's gone, bad night sleepy time.

Yes, but don't tell her that.

No...

When she is not around I have to get out the blow up doll and inflate it to snuggle up with!

ANd then sometimes that don't work... hips and ass are too narrow on the doll!

My wife has worked night shift since we got married 10 years ago....so no. although occasionally i find it hard to go to sleep, I never have trouble at least getting a few hours with her gone.

I much prefer to have the wife in bed with me. She's soft, warm, smells good, and her being there takes all of life's problems off of my mind so I can relax.

Posted: 4/25/2015 3:48:49 PM EDT

Sure. My dog just jumps up on the bed when my wife isn't around.

No hanky-panky though.

With the dog, I mean.

My S/O is an RN. She works the night shift, so yes. But it is nice when she gets home in the morning and we spoon after breakfast!

Right. This guy is trying to earn brownie points - you already married her so that game is over.

Yep I have to. Travel a bit.

I can sleep with the brass of a light machine-gun pelting me. I can sleep through furnace explosions, the detonation of nearby gunpowder plants, and Iron Maiden concerts.

Yep, I can sleep without my wife nearby.

I'm 'out of town' about 6 months of the year... Yes, empty bed doesn't stop me from sleeping. I don't like it, but it doesn't stop me from sleeping. In my 33 years of marriage, I've been gone about half the time. After that many years, she would probably run me out of the house if I stayed home all the time.

Posted: 4/25/2015 3:53:11 PM EDT

[#24]

i can, but not well. When he's not with me, I toss and turn and have bad dreams and wake up frequently.

Posted: 4/25/2015 3:53:41 PM EDT

[#25]

Every night. Wife and I sleep in separate rooms. She likes it warm, I like it cool. I snore which keeps her up. Finally she wakes up 2 1\2 hrs before I do. Works better for us.

Posted: 4/25/2015 3:53:45 PM EDT

[#26]

We don't regularly sleep in the same bed. We go through phases where she sleeps on the couch, me in the bed, sometimes the opposite. Other times she sleeps on the couch in the family room and I crash out on the one in my office.

I snore, she tries to murder people in her sleep.

So yes. I can sleep solo no problem.

Posted: 4/25/2015 3:54:22 PM EDT

[#27]

Hell yeah. I love spreading out on the bed... that is if the dog will let me.

Posted: 4/25/2015 3:55:08 PM EDT

My wife goes out of town once or twice a month for work. I don't sleep more than a couple hours while she is gone.

Posted: 4/25/2015 3:57:09 PM EDT

It's strange without her but I can manage, it's nice to sprawl out when she's not home.

This thread is a tough one. Not because it's hard to answer but because I need to weigh the chances of her checking GD today.

...Of course this isn't to say I don't absolutely love sleeping next to a whirling dervish and all

Posted: 4/25/2015 3:59:05 PM EDT

[#32]

I roll over, snore, fart and growl in my sleep...

She moved to the other end of the house about ten years ago.

I sleep fine except when she has to house watch, then not so good.

It depends upon whether or not she is having a snoring kind of night, or has eaten certain food products.
I do feel more content sleeping together, however, I have severe chronic pain and am a light sleeper.

Posted: 4/25/2015 3:59:49 PM EDT

[#34]

My wife travels frequently. I usually have a hard time the first night. Wake up multiple times. But after that its not as bad. Definitely sleep better knowing she is nice and safe sleeping by my side.

Posted: 4/25/2015 4:00:34 PM EDT

[#35]

Doesn't matter (sleep wise) if she's around or not. But I can't sleep in unfamiliar places like hotel rooms or on backpacking trips in my tent.

yes, but no as well as I do with her.

Posted: 4/25/2015 4:02:50 PM EDT

No SO at the moment, but I hate sleeping in the same bed with another person. I'd rather sleep on the couch after sex.

My wife and I will be married for 20 years this December, and for the last 14 years we have slept separately. I get the queen-sized bed in the master bedroom, and she sleeps on the couch in the living room. This is sort of a bizarre situation -- because we have two spare bedrooms she could use.

Posted: 4/25/2015 4:12:35 PM EDT

[#43]

I sleep better with anyone in the room. Just another bed and anyone will do. Like my cave woman brain thinks they'll wake up and help fight sabertooths. Like maybe before I even wake up.

Eta: ideally, I'd go to sleep while others in the room stay awake. That's the best

Who can sleep with all that sex going on?

Posted: 4/25/2015 4:15:29 PM EDT

[#45]

Yes, but I'm accustomed to sleeping in hotel rooms, motel rooms, cars, tents, etc. If I'm tired enough, I can sleep pretty much anywhere, with or without pretty much anyone.

But don't tell her I said so.

Posted: 4/25/2015 4:17:57 PM EDT

[#46]

Yes. She's fun in bed and I enjoy her company but when we aren't playing she is snoring. That shit keeps me up. The nights she decides to sleep on the couch are the best because I get to sleep.

Posted: 4/25/2015 4:18:41 PM EDT

[#47]

I don't have one... So yes.

Are you aware that there are people in this world that have a severe medical condition which causes them to be that way? My mother for instance is one of those people. She is a truck driver that has bad knees and a bad back from driving the truck but you probably do not care about that case either. Oh well I am not one of those people I am 6'4" 245lbs and I exercise every day. I would love to see you say something like to my mother in front of me. Probably never happen though you are probably just an internet tough guy. I doubt very seriously you would say that to someones face. Just my thought.What do you think. Oh I am sorry you probably do not have a brain. I on the other hand will be happy to buy you a plane ticket to come here and see if you have the nerve to say that to someone I know.

I have problems sleeping if she's not home or I'm away, but we don't need to be in the same room.
