Sleeping alone = (

United States
May 17, 2009 11:43pm CST
Hiii! I find it hard to sleep alone when I'm at my parents house and my hubby is at our place because that's where he works near by. Getting used to sleeping with someone makes it hard for you to sleep alone and you feel incomplete. Like last night, I decided to stay at my parents house because they're on vac and I wanted to look out for my sister's cat. Being away from my hubby saddens me = ( . Any related experiences?

I too find it difficult to sleep without my fiance. We've been living in the same apartment for a few months now, that when I go visit my folks without my fiance, I find it difficult to sleep without him. It's become something that I'm used to.

Took me awhile to get used to sharing a bed with my wife. Her giving me an accidental elbow to the chops on our honeymoon made me wonder if it was a good idea. Before getting married I used to have a double bed to myself. Because I am quite tall I would stretch out corner to corner and never worry about my feet sticking out off the end of the bed. Now that we've been married 18 years I can't hardly sleep without her. She keeps my back warm on those cold winter nights.

my husband works abroad, we have two kids and i already used to sleeping without my husband but i slept of course with my two kids beside me. when we have no kids yet, sometimes when he's out of town, i also had to sleep alone, and of course it's quite lonely to sleep alone. i just play with my cellphone to make me sleep early.

Aaaawww that's sweet, but me being single, I usually haven't got any trouble sleeping alone. Sometimes I would just drift away asleep without even noticing it. And then when someones with me, now that's the time I couldn't sleep that much, since we would talk and talk and talk (oh that's my cousin by the way). Then drift to sleep maybe around 3 am in the morning hehehe.

When you tend to always have someone with you when sleeping, well that would make you uneasy. I do sometimes have that kind of feeling when all but me is left home all alone.

I can understand how you feel.As you are habituated sleeping with him, you are feeling weird. I think its natural to feel so.

It will be so for the first and second day.Then you will get used to it.We,humans are ready to adjust to the environments and so we are surviving in different parts of the world with different geographic and climatic factors. In your case,why should not you take the cat to your home?

I'm actually the opposite of you. I can't sleep next to somebody. I guess coz I have been single for almost six years now so whenever I find myself in a position where I have to share a place to sleep, I end up staying awake all night. I sleep like a baby when its only me on my lovely king size bed! But if someone is next to me, sleep will just disappear and I'm like an security guard...

Uhm... i dont think that i cant sleep alone. i have experience like you when im in 12 YO. but.. i really not get affraid of something (ghost, etc lol) n dont affraid of something. Im in hard condition to sleep when im in new place. My friends house, my granny's.. and some new places. I dont know, but i have always woke up in midnight, just to staring at the ceiling, take a look round the room, have a water, and sleep... it can happened twice or more in 1 night. Yeah.. i think i should always have a pray before i got to bed... Nice, share...

I totally agree!! Its difficult for me to sleep without my husband if I am at a friends/parents place. Its like I jus want him sleeping next to me, just wanna know hes there. Feels incomplete if hes not!!

You are wright in your way. I am agree with you, but it's oridinary and it also happens to all when some of circumstances are changed in daily life. These days you feel missing of something. Just keep it up and later when you get back to your hubby then you might feel something uneasy to you for a certain time. ha ha ha. It's sure, let me know how you feel at that time whether my guess is wright or wrong! AB-Singh

Being married i guess that really is kind of lonely. I never had any experiences like that though because i'm not yet married. I had girlfriends before but we never spend a night because i would bring them home early. As much as i would love to spend at least a night with them i just can't. Well you know how Filipino families are. For now i sleep alone in my room but i'm with my mom and sis at home.

hmm its really okay with me so sleep alone in my room, but since i gave birth my 2nd baby its very seldom that i slept alone, and honestly its nice to sleep alone because i do anything i want to do, like i read first, i can move ,.or turning to any corner of my bed. or do stuff if still i cant sleep. thats my routine actually if my baby is not with me.

Hi usa,This is otherwayround in my case. When I was a kid sort of I slept a long time with my mother and then got my own bed and since then I am used to sleeping alone and if I am to share my bed with any one ( Even with the Helen of Troy ) I would ask her later lol to get to her own bed for I do not get sleep if anyone is near me. I love my bed and love my lonelinesses.

Yes I agree to you, once you are used to sleep by the side of someone, its very difficult to adjust otherwise without him, I also felt that and I think its normal because when he is by your side you feel secure and when he is not then you hardly get sleep.

for me its not a big deal to sleep alone. Because I am sleeping alone for years. But yes it is difficult for those who always sleep with someone else. For them it becomes a bit uncomfortable because you feel alone in the bed and you may even feel scary. I think its just a matter of practice. If you try then you can definitely cope with the problem.
