I find it really difficult to be in bed at night all alone. I need my hubby to be by my side. If he is busy on the net i would just ask him to shut down the computer and be by my side. If he is not available then my daughter sleeps with me. I dont think i would be comfortable sleeping all alone through the night. How about you? Can you or do you neeed someone by your side?

I like my Husband with me as I feel safe when he is around. At the moment he works at night and I am finding it really hard to go to sleep. I do not feel safe and every little noise is frightening me. I suppose I will get used to it over time but I do miss him being there beside me. He is my hotwater bottle, I like to put my feet on him to keep warm when I am cold. Yes I think I prefare it when he is with me, but for now, I will just have more sleepless nights.

All this shows the trust and faith you have in your husband and also shows that you have a strong relationship. Enjoy my lotting.

I can sleep all alone at night but my husband cannot sleep without me.When I'm out of the house he will wait for me patiently at the gate of our house.When we have misunderstanding I want to sleep alone but he will not let a night to pass without patching things over.He is sweet I'm not.But all through the years we are together I've learned and used to be with him by my side.

I can sleep just fine on my own, but I prefer to sleep with my hubby not because I can't sleep without him, but because i love being with him. He's in Arizona right now, so I am used to sleeping aline.

I think my words did not convey the right meaning. I miss my husband if he is not around as i love him so i need him by my side.

I can sleep just fine by myself. Sometimes my husband falls asleep on the couch and sleeps there all night. I let him as I like having the bed to myself and don't have to listen to him snore but I know he is home so I still feel protected.

I tend to be pretty OK sleeping by myself. However, I have noticed since my partner has started working an early job and tends to get up way before I do, I wake up more often and wonder where the heck they are and it takes me a bit to realize that they had to work and then I go back to sleep only to wake up a little bit later to wonder about where they are again. So I guess I sometimes do have issues sleeping by myself.

Hello limcyjain. There is no problem for me to sleep alone because I can still fall asleep soon if I am very tired and sleepy. In fact, I feel more comfortable this way as I can sleep any gesture I like when I sleep alone on the bed. lol

Earlier, I also was scared of that. But since last 4-5 years the job of my husband involves lot of touring and I was forced to sleep alone in whole house. Now I have learnt to sleep alone.

I can sleep by myself I just don't prefer it. After sleeping next to my boyfriend every night for nearly 3 years it's just harder when he's not there to sleep. But sometimes he travels for work so I have to. And then there are situations like last night my poor babe had to sleep on the couch because I have had a horrible cold and was coughing so bad last night he couldn't sleep so I finally just told him to sleep on the couch so he could get some rest. So when I have to do it I can. I just don't like to.

i would much rather sleep without anyone beside me. i am a horrible sleeper and wake up every time anyone that sleeps with me moves around. to that end, i do sleep by myself and my hubby sleeps elsewhere (in our bed, i sleep on the couch).

[i]Hi limcyjain, I am use to be alone in bed so when hubby needs to have some overtime, I can just handle it fine! When I was single and sister and I were renting an apartment, my sister needs always to have me beside her bed becaUse she is scared of any noise! LOL! I trained her to be alone since we have 2 beds that time and I love to be just with myself! LOL![/i]

I am now sleeping alone since I left my husband 7 months ago. At first it was a little difficult to sleep alone but now that it has been awhile, I am getting used to it and actually like it better. I love having my bed to myself. I have a big king size bed,as you can see in the picture I posted. I love to lay in bed by myself and watch TV or read a book. Also no more snoring to put up with. My husband was a big snorer and some nights I had trouble sleeping because of it. Now I can fall asleep faster, Alrighty then, talk to you later, your friend, chris

sleep with someone is good, but sometimes need to consider the others. It is hard to have two persons sleep together all over their life. One day you might think that quite gives you a sweet dream. However, one day you may feel too lonely, so human beings is extremely weird. There is no one formula that can fit one forever. Personally, I think this way......
