Do you like being touched when you are sleeping?

i enjoy being touched and i love to toucha s well but when the oerson"s hands or body is not warm it makes me cringe when touched while am asleep

I don't mind someone holding on to me for a little while but I don't think I could sleep well if someone were holding on to me all night. It would prevent me from getting into a comfortable position and would also make it more likely that I would be disturbed if he snored or if he was the kind of guy who hogged the blankets without knowing it... I know that I would rather sleep a part from someone and cuddle at another time. I can understand your perspective and it seems to me that you are not being unreasonable... You are trying to take care of yourself and to get enough sleep so that you are less cranky and are more able to give of yourself in the rest of the day and this is not being selfish. If you give your significant other a lot of care and attention at other times, hold onto him a bit prior to his falling asleep and then move quietly away to your own side of the bed to get your own rest that would be great.

i really like my space..touching or legs touching mine is what i hate most..i cant sleep or the worst if im able to fall asleep then ive got some bad dreams...cuddling or touching maybe nice before sleeping ...but my hubby likes to be touch just avoid touching his belly

I happen to like snuggling while I'm asleep. Fortunately my husband does as well. In fact we'll cuddle up to each other while we're asleep, and not wake up while we're doing it. Having a "mixed marriage" is a lot harder. If you have incompatible sleeping styles, the only answer may be separate beds.

I guess each person has to decide for themself whether they want to be touched or not. For me it is different from time to time. At the present time I sleep alone unless I have a grandchild sleeping with me and then they are usually all over me and there is little I can do but continually move them. When I slept with a husband or other significant other it varied from night to night whether I wanted to be touched and how. Some nights I wanted to be held tightly and other nights I just wanted to feel his presence in the bed next to me. I usually liked to "spoon" with the person but usually with him behind me. I usually never liked sleeping face to face with anyone because it bothers me when someone is breathing in my face and I can imagine that the other person doesn't want me breathing in their face either. When I had my king sized bed it was nice to sleep on the opposite sides and then decide as we got settled whether we were in the "touching" frames of minds, or not. Many nights were spent sleeping on the opposite sides of the bed!

I am like you I like my space and at times when my husband trys to cuddle me and I dont want it I do feel very selfish. When we were young myself and sister used to share a bed and we would fold a blanket in the middle so we would not touch each other, I wonder if that is were it comes from, my husband likes to cuddle and I know when he was younger he slept on his own, I wonder if that is why I can not stand it because I had to share a bed when I was younger.

I cannot fall asleep cuddling. I think I did once and that was only because I was extremely tired. But usually I need my space because I have a certain way I sleep and I have a really hard time falling asleep cuddling.

When I got married my husband had to have a leg, a arm, or just be up against you, i would move over he would move over too. I would get up go to the other side and get in he would turn and scoot right against me, this I was not used to as I had been single a long time. He said it was just the feeling of feeling you there. It took me awhile to get used to it, his arm across my throat and I can't breathe, I'd take it off, was driving me crazy, then he got hurt at work,he had such a back injury that he now has to have a bed alone to be able to get into a position to sleep that does not hurt him. So once again I find myself all alone in thad king size bed, and you know what I miss his arm across my throat, his constant cuddling up against me, to me now I can see where it was 2 of us together, him wanting to be next to me, to feel me there and know I loved him, and it is very lonely in that big bed at night, sometimes I just sleep on the couch instead of going to bed and being alone. I don't think you are being selfish, but some day you may want him to be close to you and he won't be able to, maybe you can come to a compromise, where he can be with you but not against you. I Know I have to have one foot out from under the covers or I feel trapped and he would spend every minutes covering it up till I let him know to stop it stop it stop it, he said he didn't want me to catch cold, and yu got to remember men are different than women, they need assurance that you are there beside them. I like my space but I would like to have my hubby close enough that if I wanted to I could reach over and feel him next to me.

I like to cuddle when I have someone to cuddle with. My little granddaughter likes to sleep with me when she sleeps over and for the most part that is good. But last weekend I awoke to find her foot in my neck! She was sleeping sideways....she also likes to hold on to my nightgown...so that limits how much I can move around but for the most part....I like to cuddle!

I actually like being cuddled in bed, I find it nice and comforting. In the day is when I find it a little annoying, sometimes everytime I walk past hubby he will grab me for a cuddle, and in the day I am just focused on what I have to, plus I like my own space. I do not think that you are being unreasonable and selfish, we are all different, with different likes and dislikes and that should not have to change just because you are with someone. I hate being crowded and I love my space.

I like to cuddle but I hate being crowded. My boyfriend likes to cuddle too and in such a way that i dont feel crowded. If we dont cuddle I tend to sleep close to him so our backs are touching. I find hes a bit of a bed hog though so sometimes i end up "clinging" to him so I don't fall off the bed! I hate sleeping with my one sister because she "Crowds" you if at all possible she will sleep right under you and right up close and not give you any wiggle room.

I enjoy being touched/cuddled anytime during my sleep :-) Just that I cant take the body weight for too long because I know my body would ache the next day real bad. Otherwise, I love it when I come to conscious and I'm being held or touched...in any way!

i love my space.. i cannot cuddle up and sleep...but when my 3 year old baby says mama and hugs me i love it i dont know why i dont mind sharing my space with him. in fact if he moves away in the night i keeping checking on him is he wrapped in sheet. i cant cuddle and sleep with my husband...he is also not a cuddler but we do hold hand and sleep. that is a sense of security i get...

I always go to bed and turn toward my husband's back on my left side, sort of in the fetal position. And, then he'll turn on his back later, causing me to have to turn over on my left side. Sometimes he will get up against me. But it has never bothered me to be touched when I am sleeping, unless someone hits me with an elbow. And that has happened occasionally. We don't sleep as close together during the summer time if the room isn't really cool. I prefer the AC to be low at night so the room will be comfortable.

I like being touched when I am sleeping, but unfortunately although I am a cuddler, my husband is not. I want him to be close to me, and put his arms around me, but all he wants to do is to turn over and go to the edge of the bed and if I get on his space, he pushes me away. The only time we are close is when we make love and that is not that often. I think he is aging faster than me.

I hate being touched when im sleeping it wakes me up then i cant fall back asleep. When someone is touching me I feel like I cant move it feels terrible.

seriously, i have "touchy feely" issues... i am trying to overcome them and lately, i must say i don't make a big fuss over them anymore unlike before. i retreat to my own cocoon when someone puts an arm on my shoulder or hugs me in public... i never grew up with demonstrative folks maybe that's the cause why being touched seems like a big issue... i appreciate being hugged by people who really mean to hug me not because of just doing so.... :D

If its with b/f then fine, i love to cuddle up with him, it makes me so comfy,i only sleeps well with my b/f,when i'm home its really hard to sleep without him.

I am a very heavy sleeper so once I am asleep my wife could do what ever she wants cuddle me, touch me, you name it and I wont wake up, but if I am trying to get to sleep I cant handle anyone touching me, no way could I go to sleep with someone cuddling me. Once I get there do what you want just let me get there, lol.

I dont want to be wrapped together like a pretzel or anything but i definitely dont mind an arm around me. In fact, hubby goes to bed before i do, and i end up nudging him to roll over my way and hold me..cuz otherwise it can take me like an hour to fall asleep, tired or not. If hes holding me i go to sleep with in minutes. I make sure its nice in cool in my room in the summer cuz it is more uncomfortable to cuddle when its too warm.
