He's impossible to sleep next to!!

I have to laugh because, apparently, I am the one who is impossible to sleep with. My late husband used to ask what football team I was playing against. One night I woke up and he was laying on the floor. I asked him what he was doing, and he told me I 'kicked him out of bed' and he just got tired of 'fighting me'. Someone else once told me I cuckolded him with my elbow right in the jaw and that I always left him a small sliver of bed. We quit sleeping together. He was becomng too black and blue.

Wow I feel for you. As I live with my boyfriend now for 4 years and since I moved in I have not had a full night's rest. He snores a storm and cannot help it. He is a wonderful man for which I appreciate. He has tried everything possible including doctors and tests but everything come out normal except for my night sleep. Uggh he is so lucky I love him so as he drives me nuts and there is nothing we can do. Sometimes I go to another bedroom as I just can't take it but I can hear him from there so there is no other choice.

My husband tends to move a lot during the night. At first it was quite annoying and I told him about it. After some time went by I got used to it and now it does not bother me anymore.

H keshia2007, I definitely can sympathize with you. My husband was a LOUD snorer. I would stay awake just punching him to stop snoring, he would for about a minute. I told him about his snoring but he didn't believe me, so one day while he was snoring I use a tape record to record the entire nap. He was shocked. He was later diagnosed with sleep apnea. So, I can understand your frustration. What kind of remedies have you tried? Does this happen every single night? If so, I am really feeling sorry for you. I hope you don't have to get up and go off to work every day. I would imagine that you have to be careful not to get hurt. Your like of deep complete sleep will eventually reek havoc on your health. I'm sure you boyfriend must be exhausted, after tossing and turning all night. If this is happen all the time, he may need medical attention. Or, maybe he can try one of the over-the-counter sleep aids to help relax him. Or, you may have to sleep in separate beds. Boomer!!!!! Good Luck

I will tell you my parent's story... The thing that my dad is not turning and tossing around, but snores a lot! and by a lot I mean that he sounds like a saw cutting down a tree, and yet my mom sleeps like a baby next to him. I asked her how can she take it, because those snores are terrible and unbearable to hear. She told me that she got used to it over time. So, maybe you will get used to it that your guy trying to kick you while he sleeps, at least you have love.

Hi, keisha2007r. Last year, my husband was tossing and turning in his sleep. He had the Flu Virus and he was also in pain from an cyst/knot that was near his elbow. I could hardly get any sleep because of this. But our kids did. I was so worried about him when he would do this. Maybe your husband was having a bad dream and someone or something was bothering him. Did you ask him what made him turn in his sleep like he has? I think that you should have woken him up. I know that is what I would have done if my husband was tossing and turning in his sleep.

My man used to be impossible to sleep next to. He snores very loudly and moves A LOT. And as a light sleeper, it used to bother me. I guess I just got used to it. Actually, I sleep better when he's here than when he's not here. He's still the same - snoring and moving and all - I guess I've just gotten a lot more comfortable and like I said, used to it. If the relationship if worth it, hang in there. I'm sure you'll find a lot more quirkiness with him - that are much harder to deal with. Good luck!

I feel your pain! My late husband was sometimes difficult to sleep next to. i used to ask him who he was trying to get away from. All i can say is for you to try to stay on your side of the bed as well as you can. Sometimes this can be a challenge. The livingroom couch begins to look good when these sleepless moments arrive.

i never thought there would be someone who have this kind of sleeping habit, it is really hard to sleep with them with this kind. i think even if you talked to him you could not do anything about it, since he is sleeping!, what i had encountered is too much snoring! to the point that you think he was running out of breath, it was just so irritating to sleep with.

Hi keshia2007r, Well I'm a great snorer producing with a high and low note sound like at sleep, but my wife never experienced telling me about something like that of your boy friend... Perhaps you should advice him to see an expert, maybe he may dream of something on an on and it bothers him too much.

I feel sorry for you but somehow I find it funny because I think I'm slightly like your boyfriend but I am the one who's not getting enough sleep. I also move and turn a lot while I'm sleeping but not that much. My problem is my partner rarely gets a deep sleep and usually can't sleep right away. Just a little movement, sometimes it may wake him up. It is very hard for me because I am the one who's sleeping like I'm conscious. Because sometimes I wanna move but I don't want to wake him up. It's pretty hard to do, sometimes I can't sleep at all just trying to figure out how to turn without waking him up. But when I'm pissed, I would really purposely move and turn so that he'll wake up, and it would be his problem how to sleep again lol.

Hmmm, this is very simple my dear. How friendly are the two of you? Do you share jokes and make fun with each other? If so, then its quiet simple to take care of that problem. Do you have a wooden bench in your house? I mean a straight bench with two legs. If so, just make a bet with him that he cant sleep on that bench without falling down. If he is not interested just tell him to do that for your sake until he can sleep on that bench perfectly without falling. You will be amazed with the outcome of this simple exercise.
