RQOTD: Cuddling vs Sleeping

[KateD]

We spoon. After 14 years I'm so used to it that I have a hard time sleeping if we're not touching.

My husband has apnea and snores, so mostly we sleep in separate rooms. When we do sleep together, we go to bed at totally different times (he only needs about 5 hours of sleep) so we actually snuggle in the morning when we wake up and the radio alarm comes on.

I sleep alone.

I usually go to sleep facing the wall, but before that, I'll sometimes lay a leg or foot on his leg.

For a loooong time, both my kids (at different times) would wake up me up for years straight at around 2 or three in the morning, and get into bed with me. More often than not, waking me up. I don't think I got a solid nights' sleep for years! So, when the kids FINALLY would keep to their own beds (mostly), hubby would come to bed late, around--of course!-- 2 am, wanting nookie. OMG. That went on for a few months, it seems, until I complained enough. I want my damned sleep! He couldn't figure out why I wasn't rarin' to go like he was; the kids were both asleep, right?

I used to want to snuggle but not anymore... got sick of waking up with a knee in my butt or an elbow in my ribs. Now it's "get the hell away from me!!"
He sprawls out and takes up 3/4 of the bed, I have to sleep right on the edge. I still wake up with a knee in my butt sometimes... either that or I wake up from almost falling out of the bed. Needless to say, I don't get much sleep. LOL

We have a cat that does that but only tries to push me off the bed, not DH.

We're roll over and sleep on our own side kind of people but like to snuggle before we roll over.

DH and I only sleep together on the weekends...he works nights so during the week he sleeps during the day. I can't handle cuddly sleeping...he radiates heat and I want him on the other side of the bed LOL. I don't mind back to back if I have a comforter or something between us so that the body heat isn't so bothersome.
During the week, the dog occupies his side of the bed, with his head on DH's pillow. And we definitely don't cuddle! LOL
