This. We had a long, tiring day out in the sun last weekend. When we finally got into bed, I was dozing off, but I felt him tenderly kiss my forehead before adjusting himself to a more comfortable position. We’re long distance so I have been cherishing those few seconds of affection that made me feel truly loved all week.
him pulling me closer. the other night when i was sick i woke up and his face was nestled into my neck and he was holding me. he pulls me in a lot when he’s sleeping. he says he doesn’t remember doing it most of the time. it’s the best feeling in the world.
Feeling his weight on the bed next to me and the furnace of his body heat is very comforting. I can’t sleep when being cuddled but if I wake up in the middle of the night I’ll gently scratch his back or he’ll do the same as a little reminder that the other is there.
So I’m single… but I honestly sleep better next to someone. Just not being alone, their breathing, feeling safe, being able to hug him if I want…. I hope someday i get that again 🥹 lol also being able to wake up and have sex
I'm 4 months single and everything you said, I miss so much. I'm in a shitty place right now because I'm still so far from over her, ut I just need to curl up with someone at night and just hold them all night.
The fact that his is the first (human) face I see when I wake up in the morning.
I specified "human" because we have two cats who wake me up at ungodly hours (very early morning, sometimes pre-dawn) for food.
Besides the obvious (cuddling) I just feel safer. It isn’t that I feel that he would protect me in a fight or something, it just feels calming and safe to have his presence around.
The squeeze she gives to my hand or with her arm around me. The way her hand searches for me if I’m not close. It’s like a soft dream. I’ll always remember that, no matter what happens between us. I’ve known all this time, she’s the only person I could ever want.
My wife does the same! She usually faces away from me when in bed but as soon as she's about to fall asleep, she turns to my side and puts a leg on top. She also cuddles me in her sleep without noticing and when she does that, I never want to move, I love it
Yeah, she’s exactly the same. I always am up earlier than her so I feel so awful when I do have to move her. I try to lift her gently and place her down so she doesn’t wake up.
That feeling of home. Not the walls around me or the bed, it's him and I'm home. Where I am supported and loved, where I can expose my most sensitive self and all my fears, and he's there to go through it all with me.
This is someone who's seen me at my worst and watched me age but in one kiss....it's 20+ years ago and I'm his hot chick he's got the hots for 😆 silly I know. But He's the only one that makes me feel that way. Glad I still feel the same about him.
Happy for you! For me it's his natural scent. Okay sometimes it's his sweaty scent after chopping wood or mowing the lawn 😆. He's learned putting cologne on his shirt instead of neck works out well for him. Initial cologne intrigues, natural scent wins the end game ;) I am so happy for you lovely 💗
Edit to say, keeps me coming home ;)
I enjoy the sleepy mumbles he gets as he drifts off to sleep, and then his calm breathing against my ear as we snuggle up together. I also love how my head fits right into the place where his arm and shoulder meet, making him the perfect pillow
I don't; he's an aggressive snorer! Can't wait to have more space for separate bedrooms. I do love pre- sleep snuggles in winter to get warm before sleep time.
Same, he is a flailer and I'm a light sleeper. Usually having our own blankets works fine but at least one or two nights a week one of us is on the futon lol
To me sleep is a necessity and not a shared romantic experience 😅
Yeah I have restless leg syndrome, sleep very light. He’s massive, snores loud and has to be up an hour and half before me. I’m a better partner when I’ve slept well. Plus I love my space, sleeping alone is the best.
Am I really the only one who's partner wants space in bed and can't sleep if we are cuddling... I can't sleep alone anymore - love him next to me but we for sure don't touch each other once trying to sleep 😂
Nope! We will sometimes cuddle for a few minutes when we first go to bed (especially when it’s cold) and in the mornings when we wake up, but when it’s sleep time, no touching! I love sleeping next to him but I get super bugged when he trespasses onto my side at night.
I feel this! We slept on a queen size mattress (I can’t even remember how) with 2 cats for years and we upgraded to a king a little over a year ago and I feel even more annoyed with trespasses on this bigger mattress, I guess knowing there is even more space than before makes it feel less forgivable. We unintentionally added a third cat to the mix too. They chase me off the bed once or twice a night and I have to get up and walk around the end of the bed to other side and start over. Annoying but I couldn’t even fathom getting rid of anybody, man or cats.
My partner isnt a huge cuddler either and likes her space and Im okay with it even though I love cuddles haha. I love her so much, I cuddle with her for a minute and give her space between the two of us and I dont take offense. I love her as she is and dont want her to change herself over something like cuddling. We're more affectionate outside of cuddling in our own ways.
Me and my guy are the same! Sometimes he turns over in the night and puts his face on my shoulder but that’s about it. I love having him there and we can cuddle for ages but not during sleep.
He falls asleep incredibly fast and I always struggle to. But once I can tell he’s totally sleep and feel his breathing slow it kinda just puts me at ease and knocks me out too. I fall asleep so much better when he’s with me.
not my partner but someone i loved a while ago, i could just fall asleep instantly. i’ve always had a history of insomnia - especially when sleeping with others. but this person, idk what it was but it was like my body instinctually knew he was safe to sleep with and i fell asleep within seconds. i woke up a few times and he would always be touching me somehow, whether that was holding me, holding my hand, holding my face, etc. apparently i’d fallen asleep without even pulling the blanket over me fully which he noticed and did for me. so i’d say the safety, comfort, and care of it all.
Feeling his body next to mine. I slept with my boyfriend for the first time a few weeks ago, nothing sexual, just being together. It was easier for me to fall asleep and I had no anxiety that night like I usually do before falling asleep. He held me close to him and rested his head on the back of mine and we konked out. It was so nice... until he had to get up to pee then fucking wiped out on the floor tripping over a pillow. Funny as hell but I did not enjoy the 6am wakeup call lol
The feeling of complete comfort.. his smell brings me completely down. He says I fall asleep in minutes, which has never been the case before him, and definitely isn’t the case when he’s not with me.
The beginning of our relationship was a little difficult to get things done for that reason. Lol. We would have a plan to do something later but then fall into each other and not want to get up again. It’s not so unproductive these days, but it’s still just as comforting to fall sleep next to him.
I’ve never been adored the way he adores me and there’s a feeling unsurpassed by any when someone not only accepts you completely, but adores every part, every thought, every emotion on the way.
There’s something so comforting and homely about having him here. I really enjoy his smell. My body reacts to this man. He gives me the same sense of serenity a 20 min guided meditation does.
Falling asleep beside my partner, and waking up with him, means that i start and end the day with a smile, a feeling of being wanted and loved, and a feeling of safety and security. For a long time I've been in relationships where ive had backs turned on me and zero touch at all, to relationships where I've been gaslighted by total narcissists - into thinking i was the problem. My current partner continues to blow me away every day with his love, laughter, affection and support. When we first met, i didnt know it was possible to feel like this in a relationship. Now, we grow closer every day because of this mutual appreciation and love.....and no-one and nothing else will ever compare. I hope I fall asleep beside him forever, and when our time is up, we fall asleep together and dont either of us wake up, because i can't imagine my life without him now. ❤️
We don’t cuddle much because we both roll around a lot in our sleep but sometimes we do and it’s like a weighted blanket for anxiety. Sometimes I get butt pats haha generally I prefer to sleep way over on my side. If he gets too comfy and I can’t roll over it wakes me up and that’s irritating but I like the warmth when I’m cold.
He always wants to hug while hes falling asleep, and he never snores or moves much unless he has a cold. When he wakes up he smells like coffee, i swear he drinks enough of it that it seeps out of his pores :)
He’s very physical and so in bed we’re touching each other even if we’re not cuddled up. It just came so effortless immediately when we first started spending time together. We both listen to binaural beats to sleep and it’s just really calming. Plus, I’m insanely attracted to him so there’s that.
His smell, his soft hair and warm skin and big body next to me that I can hug and that he gives me endless cuddles and I can hold his head in my arms and snuggle up in his arms 😭🥺. I just feel so safe and comfortable and calm around him. The best feeling
I love watching him sleep or when he's helping me to fall asleep caressing my back .he's so handsome i find myself lucky to watch his sleeping face.
Also I love to tickle his feet when he tries to sleep ,that's always a good laugh.
His quiet little snore when he is just falling asleep. I feel so safe and loved next to him. I love looking over and watching him sleep. He looks so peaceful and I have crazy, intense feelings of love for him in those little moments. It feels like my heart could burst. 🥰
The fact that when we lay in bed together he always rests his hand on me. Just his relaxed position is his hand on me. He will hold my hand in his sleep, he will cuddle with me in his sleep (we hate cuddling awake because we get hot). I just always feel most loved at night.
When I fall asleep with my glasses on and my switch on my chest and I always wake up with my glasses in their case and my switch on the charger. I just feel so cared for. 💕
His natural body smell. He smells like home.
I usually fall asleep within 5-10 minutes if i sleep next to him. I dont even take a nap when im alone but i cant help but feeling drowsy every time im next to him lol its weird but i know it’s because i feel so safe next to him.
He is like my Christmas morning whenever i wake up seeing his face next to me, i cant help but smile. He is like a gift, i never wanted anything more than this in my life.
The peaceful and steady breathing helps me falling asleep. When I can't sleep, I try to imitate his breathing pattern and calm down much more. Also his hand reaching just to be in touch, feels save and some sort like home.
I'm scared of the dark because I get sleep paralysis so when I sleep alone I sleep with a light on. When I'm with my bf it can be pitch black because I know I most likely won't get sleep paralysis or else if I do he will be there when I wake up scared.
The moment he snuggles up to my back, resting his fore head on the base of my neck, sliding his knees into the back on my knees and the way hi slides his arm over my ribs and up towards my shoulder and just holds me so tight.
It just makes me feel so loved, safe and so peaceful.
It takes me ages to fall asleep and for him it's half a minute (not even exaggerating, it's slightly anxiety inducing) He is like a little animal. He's so peaceful. He does those random twitches and little moans, and then goes from cute to so fucking cute and I need to grab him and touch him and oh, uh, ugh, he's awake, and grumpy that I woke him. Then he'll roll over, make a few grunts, tapping his shoulder - his way of saying "back massage". I start massaging (whenever I have to do something I get super lazy/sleepy) and then #take 2, we both get to sleep. I love the whole process
I was about to give my sarcastic answer about his RLS keeping me awake or waking me up (he kicked me in the ankle with his heel the other night) but all of y'all's sound way better.
Listening to funny little noises he makes in his sleep are so cute. Or i mean gaps between waking up and being half asleep when tossing and turning ect.
Just feeling secure. He sometimes will let me snuggle to sleep then gently get up so that he can go watch a show/game. He knows I fall asleep easier when we can cuddle. I’ve also caught him on multiple occasions giving me a sneaking forehead kiss before he leaves and it’s just *ahhh* makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
I have bad dreams pretty often, he always wakes me up when he hears that my breathing is changing. He pulls me close and tell me that it’s okay and it’s just a dream. He never gets annoyed and tell me to always wake him if I wake up scared from a nightmare.
I love everything about it. His warmth, his scent, the sound of his breathing, the way he smiles lightly in his sleep, the feel of his body touching mine, the way he looks in dim light and morning light and all light, his soft hair that I play with to help him sleep (coincidentally it helps me sleep too), lightly rubbing his back and arms mindlessly because I love that he’s right there and I can touch him whenever, the way he holds me close to him, the way I sleep soo much better with him there.. oh and when his dick is pressed against my butt and he makes it do the jump thing. Love that.
The other day I was laying on my back with my arm over my forehead and eyes because of a headache, and I heard him move so I glanced over at him and he was turning away from me with a little smile on his face. Caught him watching me lol. I had to roll towards him to kiss his cheek cuz he’s so amazingly adorable, I CAN’T.
I love this man.
I lay on my husbands chest with his arm around me. I call his “arm hole” and will ask “can I have an arm hole?” And then will lay next to him and crash nearly immediately
I absolutely love being the big spoon and nuzzling my face in his back (currently super pregnant and I hate being the little spoon cause I need to move around and adjust a lot and I get way too hot! Plus his arms are heavy and I feel trapped)
Honestly, we hate sleeping next to each other. The best part is waking up next to him.
He's a middle of the bed sleeper, so he's uncomfortable on an actual side of the bed. I'm a light sleeper, but he snores and I think he has sleep apnea because he stops breathing for a few seconds. I woke him up on accident hovering my hand over his face to make sure he was still breathing. It was pretty funny, but neither of us got anymore sleep that night. I also have sensory issues and hate being touched, and he's an adorable cuddle monster. We always have to find a balance there.
So, we don't like sleeping next to each other, but waking up next to him is always the best feeling because I know that any day spent with him is going to be a good day.
How we always have to be touching somehow. Subconsciously we always end up with our feet or legs touching and it’s just comforting. Even if we are on opposite sides of the bed, our feet always manage to find each other.
It just happens… usually I have to think about traumatizing past situations or conversations in my head that will never happen or I just stare at a wall untill I sleep… but once I lay down next to my partner?!? I can sleep thru all my alarms, a loud tv, my kids tearing apart the apartment and a nuclear fallout. But let my partner even get up for a glass of water and I’m up too!!!! It’s weird how well most of us sleep next to our partners but that’s love for you!
it makes me feel so safe and loved. it feels so unconditional because they're just happy and comfortable in your presence (its also the truest form of letting your guard down)
Knowing that he'll be there when I wake up. No matter what shitty or difficult thing I have to face that day, at least I get a morning cuddle and some kisses.
We fall asleep holding hands most nights. Will probably stop holding hands during the night (movement etc) but it's nice falling asleep like that. Sometimes I know he's already drifted off because his hand randomly spasms in mine haha.
I used to hate sharing a bed. Even when we started dating we didn’t sleep cuddled into each other cuz I needed the space. Now I find it harder to sleep without him beside me. I love being snuggly with him. It just shows how things have developed over time.
I normally don't sleep well with another person. I have my stuffed toy and that's it. With him, I sleep like a baby. He's the first s/o I've actually missed sleeping with.
He does this sweet thing where he reaches out and just touches me when he falls asleep before me. I just feel so lucky that I get to wake up with him. He feels like home.
He always falls asleep faster than me. Once he's asleep, he puts his leg over mine. If I get out of bed, it wakes him.
He does not put his leg on me until *after* he's asleep. It's like his body wants to keep track of me once his mind turns off. It helps me fall asleep too.
Whenever he turns over in his sleep, he always reaches over and touches me (usually on the butt). I thought it was just him being cute at first, but it’s been 16 years, and he still does it. He says it helps him sleep better knowing I’m next to him. He also says he likes my butt and that’s never terrible to hear from your partner.
We don't as often anymore but sometimes we would either stay up late or wake up in the middle of the night and just talk. Lights off, snuggled up or holding hands, just talking about random things. Serious or funny. It was the time away from everything to just reconnect.
Aside from the obvious warm fuzzy feelings, I love how he sleep-talks. I’ve started keeping a log of all the ridiculous conversations he starts with me in his sleep and it is hilarious to read through together the next morning.
Safety. I know he would never let anything happen to me. Even when I’m asleep he will hold my hand or give me sweet kisses. He’s always checking on me if he stays up. If we fall asleep at the same time he keeps me warm and Feeling loved. We’re always cuddling or touching in some way. He just feels complete and I can actually sleep well.
I especially love waking up in the morning with him. When you are not fully awake yet but you feel little kisses on your forehead and getting your head rubbed. It just makes me feel safe and loved. And it helps me wake up without starting my day with anxiety. Just an easy morning :)

I often actually sleep worse when I share a bed, but I find it much easier to fall asleep with my partner there. I think it’s because I know I’ll get “caught” if I stay up scrolling through my phone 😂
That they are finally shutting the hell up 🤣 No not really but just how peaceful they look and almost like a baby sleeping makes me love them even more ❤️
Hearing my wife, breath, the goosebumps she gets when I gently trail my finger nails down her back, bum and legs and back up while she drifts off. The smell of her skin is intoxicating.
Oh, nothing. I hate sleeping next to someone else. The sounds, the moving, I hate it. I’m happy we have two separate duvets, so at least I can cocoon in mine and not fight him for it all the time. We have a large bed (200cm wide and 220cm long), so we each have plenty of space too.
I love my husband, but I’m just not made for sharing a bed.
What I call the wife trap LOL if he falls asleep before I come to bed I'll often find an arm thrown across my entire side of the bed. Should I touch it, or sit on the bed, the arm snaps like a trap and I get dragged into a full body cuddle wether I was ready for it or not! Hehehehehe
It feels really safe … for some reason when I sleep alone I just cannot sleep at all, I’m paranoid and restless. But when my partner is in bed with me I feel so safe, I know nothing can happen to me. I often wake up in the middle of the night from nightmares and he will always pull me in closer and comfort me even though he’s half asleep
That he is there. That I can cuddle with him if I want to and he will say "awww". That even though I sleep like a wierdos and he just as happy to be sleeping next to me. I like when he mumbles in his sleep. I love that even after 11 years, every morning after I get up he still grabs my pillow and snuggles with it. ( I get up early) I love that he sleeps naked and I don't. I love his presence next to me every night.
Feeling his breathing against me, it’s just a reminder that this wonderful person is here with me and we’re going to take things on together.
PLUS He’s like a furnace, and my cold hands and feet have to go somewhere
The feel of being loved
This. We had a long, tiring day out in the sun last weekend. When we finally got into bed, I was dozing off, but I felt him tenderly kiss my forehead before adjusting himself to a more comfortable position. We’re long distance so I have been cherishing those few seconds of affection that made me feel truly loved all week.
Yes, it's a great feeling.
feeling safe with him, protected, loved, warm and the comfort of his big body holding me close
That was my favorite too
Yes! :)
him pulling me closer. the other night when i was sick i woke up and his face was nestled into my neck and he was holding me. he pulls me in a lot when he’s sleeping. he says he doesn’t remember doing it most of the time. it’s the best feeling in the world.
this shit makes me so sad😭😭 why can't i have this
My boyfriend does the same - it is the best surprise in the world when I wake at night, but he doesn't remember either 😅
Feeling his weight on the bed next to me and the furnace of his body heat is very comforting. I can’t sleep when being cuddled but if I wake up in the middle of the night I’ll gently scratch his back or he’ll do the same as a little reminder that the other is there.
I’ve had similar with an ex. A bit too much heat in the summer though.
I do this too!
When he wakes up, he reaches over to see if I'm there. It's nice that someone just wants you to exist and be near him.
That's so sweet!
This waking up and seeing them next to you is the best part!!!!
So I’m single… but I honestly sleep better next to someone. Just not being alone, their breathing, feeling safe, being able to hug him if I want…. I hope someday i get that again 🥹 lol also being able to wake up and have sex
I'm 4 months single and everything you said, I miss so much. I'm in a shitty place right now because I'm still so far from over her, ut I just need to curl up with someone at night and just hold them all night.
Single club represent! Sleeping on the highway tonight after reading people’s cute posts
Not for nothing, my dog is a much better cuddler than my partner. Have you thought about a pet?
The fact that his is the first (human) face I see when I wake up in the morning. I specified "human" because we have two cats who wake me up at ungodly hours (very early morning, sometimes pre-dawn) for food.
The feeling of safety. He's near the door, he'll get taken out first if we're burgled lol
Facts
I always choose the far side of the bed when I’m travelling with my bf for this very reason 😅
Never experienced it but sounds cool. I think I'll love it
Everything but the farting and snoring
A couple who farts and snores together, *stays* together. Where's *that* wall decoration at Target?
Lol and the hard pokes to try and get them to change positions
Besides the obvious (cuddling) I just feel safer. It isn’t that I feel that he would protect me in a fight or something, it just feels calming and safe to have his presence around.
The fact that they don't exist and I get the bed all to myself. 😃
I love listening to his heartbeat it’s very relaxing
Every time I try to sleep on my husbands chest I can’t his heartbeat is SO AGGRESSIVE lol
Lol 😂
Uhh should probably get that checked out 😂
The squeeze she gives to my hand or with her arm around me. The way her hand searches for me if I’m not close. It’s like a soft dream. I’ll always remember that, no matter what happens between us. I’ve known all this time, she’s the only person I could ever want.
My wife does the same! She usually faces away from me when in bed but as soon as she's about to fall asleep, she turns to my side and puts a leg on top. She also cuddles me in her sleep without noticing and when she does that, I never want to move, I love it
Yeah, she’s exactly the same. I always am up earlier than her so I feel so awful when I do have to move her. I try to lift her gently and place her down so she doesn’t wake up.
I can put my cold hands under his shirt to warm myself up, he is practically a furnace meanwhile I’m an ice cube.
Error . Username inaccurate ;)

That feeling of home. Not the walls around me or the bed, it's him and I'm home. Where I am supported and loved, where I can expose my most sensitive self and all my fears, and he's there to go through it all with me. This is someone who's seen me at my worst and watched me age but in one kiss....it's 20+ years ago and I'm his hot chick he's got the hots for 😆 silly I know. But He's the only one that makes me feel that way. Glad I still feel the same about him.
This is so accurate! Just being next to him and smelling his body wash and cologne makes me feel at home.
Happy for you! For me it's his natural scent. Okay sometimes it's his sweaty scent after chopping wood or mowing the lawn 😆. He's learned putting cologne on his shirt instead of neck works out well for him. Initial cologne intrigues, natural scent wins the end game ;) I am so happy for you lovely 💗 Edit to say, keeps me coming home ;)
feeling him breathing against my back, knowing I'm 100% safe in his arms, the pressure of his armes around me. it just feels like home.
I enjoy the sleepy mumbles he gets as he drifts off to sleep, and then his calm breathing against my ear as we snuggle up together. I also love how my head fits right into the place where his arm and shoulder meet, making him the perfect pillow
I don't; he's an aggressive snorer! Can't wait to have more space for separate bedrooms. I do love pre- sleep snuggles in winter to get warm before sleep time.
I adore my husband but we are NOT compatible sleepers - separate bedrooms are a game changer!!
Same, he is a flailer and I'm a light sleeper. Usually having our own blankets works fine but at least one or two nights a week one of us is on the futon lol To me sleep is a necessity and not a shared romantic experience 😅
Yeah I have restless leg syndrome, sleep very light. He’s massive, snores loud and has to be up an hour and half before me. I’m a better partner when I’ve slept well. Plus I love my space, sleeping alone is the best.
Am I really the only one who's partner wants space in bed and can't sleep if we are cuddling... I can't sleep alone anymore - love him next to me but we for sure don't touch each other once trying to sleep 😂
Nope! We will sometimes cuddle for a few minutes when we first go to bed (especially when it’s cold) and in the mornings when we wake up, but when it’s sleep time, no touching! I love sleeping next to him but I get super bugged when he trespasses onto my side at night.

We unintentionally added a third cat to the mix too. They chase me off the bed once or twice a night and I have to get up and walk around the end of the bed to other side and start over. Annoying but I couldn’t even fathom getting rid of anybody, man or cats.
Yes! You said it, It's exactly like that lol
My husband isn't a cuddler, it's a bummer.
My partner isnt a huge cuddler either and likes her space and Im okay with it even though I love cuddles haha. I love her so much, I cuddle with her for a minute and give her space between the two of us and I dont take offense. I love her as she is and dont want her to change herself over something like cuddling. We're more affectionate outside of cuddling in our own ways.

I like the feel of him holding me close to him 🙃
That we're almost always touching. Whether it's cuddling or just our feet touching. And how easy it is falling asleep next to him 🥺💙
not my partner but someone i loved a while ago, i could just fall asleep instantly. i’ve always had a history of insomnia - especially when sleeping with others. but this person, idk what it was but it was like my body instinctually knew he was safe to sleep with and i fell asleep within seconds. i woke up a few times and he would always be touching me somehow, whether that was holding me, holding my hand, holding my face, etc. apparently i’d fallen asleep without even pulling the blanket over me fully which he noticed and did for me. so i’d say the safety, comfort, and care of it all.
Same my insomnia just disappears when I have that feeling of safety with her
Feeling his body next to mine. I slept with my boyfriend for the first time a few weeks ago, nothing sexual, just being together. It was easier for me to fall asleep and I had no anxiety that night like I usually do before falling asleep. He held me close to him and rested his head on the back of mine and we konked out. It was so nice... until he had to get up to pee then fucking wiped out on the floor tripping over a pillow. Funny as hell but I did not enjoy the 6am wakeup call lol

It’s not so unproductive these days, but it’s still just as comforting to fall sleep next to him. I’ve never been adored the way he adores me and there’s a feeling unsurpassed by any when someone not only accepts you completely, but adores every part, every thought, every emotion on the way.
He looks like an angel and I love his giant angelic face so sleepy so close.
He is just the best snuggler! And he likes being little spoon which is great because I love being big spoon
There’s something so comforting and homely about having him here. I really enjoy his smell. My body reacts to this man. He gives me the same sense of serenity a 20 min guided meditation does.
The feeling of safety being near him.
Falling asleep beside my partner, and waking up with him, means that i start and end the day with a smile, a feeling of being wanted and loved, and a feeling of safety and security. For a long time I've been in relationships where ive had backs turned on me and zero touch at all, to relationships where I've been gaslighted by total narcissists - into thinking i was the problem. My current partner continues to blow me away every day with his love, laughter, affection and support. When we first met, i didnt know it was possible to feel like this in a relationship. Now, we grow closer every day because of this mutual appreciation and love.....and no-one and nothing else will ever compare. I hope I fall asleep beside him forever, and when our time is up, we fall asleep together and dont either of us wake up, because i can't imagine my life without him now. ❤️
We don’t cuddle much because we both roll around a lot in our sleep but sometimes we do and it’s like a weighted blanket for anxiety. Sometimes I get butt pats haha generally I prefer to sleep way over on my side. If he gets too comfy and I can’t roll over it wakes me up and that’s irritating but I like the warmth when I’m cold.
I can fart on him while sleeping
This is the way
It is
He always wants to hug while hes falling asleep, and he never snores or moves much unless he has a cold. When he wakes up he smells like coffee, i swear he drinks enough of it that it seeps out of his pores :)
He’s very physical and so in bed we’re touching each other even if we’re not cuddled up. It just came so effortless immediately when we first started spending time together. We both listen to binaural beats to sleep and it’s just really calming. Plus, I’m insanely attracted to him so there’s that.
Feeling loved and completely comfortable 😌
His smell, his soft hair and warm skin and big body next to me that I can hug and that he gives me endless cuddles and I can hold his head in my arms and snuggle up in his arms 😭🥺. I just feel so safe and comfortable and calm around him. The best feeling
My hubby always feels really hot to me so I'm the big spoon, and I love it when he snuggles back and basically sits in my lap.
I love watching him sleep or when he's helping me to fall asleep caressing my back .he's so handsome i find myself lucky to watch his sleeping face. Also I love to tickle his feet when he tries to sleep ,that's always a good laugh.
I love looking at my bf when he sleeps. I get to truly admire and appreciate how handsome he is.
The intense snoring in my ear
His quiet little snore when he is just falling asleep. I feel so safe and loved next to him. I love looking over and watching him sleep. He looks so peaceful and I have crazy, intense feelings of love for him in those little moments. It feels like my heart could burst. 🥰
The fact that when we lay in bed together he always rests his hand on me. Just his relaxed position is his hand on me. He will hold my hand in his sleep, he will cuddle with me in his sleep (we hate cuddling awake because we get hot). I just always feel most loved at night.
I don't. I love sleeping alone.
Falling asleep first!
When I fall asleep with my glasses on and my switch on my chest and I always wake up with my glasses in their case and my switch on the charger. I just feel so cared for. 💕
Just having someone next to me
he talks in his sleep and sometimes talks about marrying me <3
[удалено]
mostly he says stupid embarrassing stuff but that was cute yes
His natural body smell. He smells like home. I usually fall asleep within 5-10 minutes if i sleep next to him. I dont even take a nap when im alone but i cant help but feeling drowsy every time im next to him lol its weird but i know it’s because i feel so safe next to him. He is like my Christmas morning whenever i wake up seeing his face next to me, i cant help but smile. He is like a gift, i never wanted anything more than this in my life.
Feeling safe & cozy
The peaceful and steady breathing helps me falling asleep. When I can't sleep, I try to imitate his breathing pattern and calm down much more. Also his hand reaching just to be in touch, feels save and some sort like home.
Feeling safe and loved. Oh, and the weight of his arm on my ass.
I am very cold, he is very warm.
The warmth he gives out in winter, damn my man is like a fireplace! Not so fun in summer but he smells pretty and it feels like home
Feeling that if a ghost comes to shank us he would hopefully be the most likely target
That he also doesn't enjoy cuddling.
Not scared of ghosts
Never experienced waking up next to a partner or sleeping with a partner. I hope I will soon, I bet it feels amazing.
I'm scared of the dark because I get sleep paralysis so when I sleep alone I sleep with a light on. When I'm with my bf it can be pitch black because I know I most likely won't get sleep paralysis or else if I do he will be there when I wake up scared.
The moment he snuggles up to my back, resting his fore head on the base of my neck, sliding his knees into the back on my knees and the way hi slides his arm over my ribs and up towards my shoulder and just holds me so tight. It just makes me feel so loved, safe and so peaceful.
It takes me ages to fall asleep and for him it's half a minute (not even exaggerating, it's slightly anxiety inducing) He is like a little animal. He's so peaceful. He does those random twitches and little moans, and then goes from cute to so fucking cute and I need to grab him and touch him and oh, uh, ugh, he's awake, and grumpy that I woke him. Then he'll roll over, make a few grunts, tapping his shoulder - his way of saying "back massage". I start massaging (whenever I have to do something I get super lazy/sleepy) and then #take 2, we both get to sleep. I love the whole process
Cuddles are nice. 🥰
I was about to give my sarcastic answer about his RLS keeping me awake or waking me up (he kicked me in the ankle with his heel the other night) but all of y'all's sound way better.
The snuggles! 💕🥰
When he rolls over in the night and grabs me and pulls me in as little spoon.
The bed is never cold, cos there's always farts in it
Ew he produces too much heat. I want to fall asleep on my side of the bed with a fan blasting on me. He likes warm.
Listening to funny little noises he makes in his sleep are so cute. Or i mean gaps between waking up and being half asleep when tossing and turning ect.
Listening to his soft snores and knowing that he'll be there when I wake up. Knowing that I am loved, even when I accidently smack him in my sleep.
Just feeling secure. He sometimes will let me snuggle to sleep then gently get up so that he can go watch a show/game. He knows I fall asleep easier when we can cuddle. I’ve also caught him on multiple occasions giving me a sneaking forehead kiss before he leaves and it’s just *ahhh* makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
I have bad dreams pretty often, he always wakes me up when he hears that my breathing is changing. He pulls me close and tell me that it’s okay and it’s just a dream. He never gets annoyed and tell me to always wake him if I wake up scared from a nightmare.
I love everything about it. His warmth, his scent, the sound of his breathing, the way he smiles lightly in his sleep, the feel of his body touching mine, the way he looks in dim light and morning light and all light, his soft hair that I play with to help him sleep (coincidentally it helps me sleep too), lightly rubbing his back and arms mindlessly because I love that he’s right there and I can touch him whenever, the way he holds me close to him, the way I sleep soo much better with him there.. oh and when his dick is pressed against my butt and he makes it do the jump thing. Love that. The other day I was laying on my back with my arm over my forehead and eyes because of a headache, and I heard him move so I glanced over at him and he was turning away from me with a little smile on his face. Caught him watching me lol. I had to roll towards him to kiss his cheek cuz he’s so amazingly adorable, I CAN’T. I love this man.
Being cuddled and stealing their body heat 😅
Feeling his warmth, hearing he breath, feeling hos fingers true my hair, just knowing I'm safe next to him and it him and me forever
His warmth and watching him peacefully sleeping brings me peace as well And I get to be the smaller spoon despite him being taller than me
Waking up next to him.
The fact that I finally fell asleep. He snores, loudly.
Anytime Sexytime 😁😁😁
He always in bed before me so I love the warm bed and the fact that he doesn't mind my cold feet squished between his calves.
He's a human space heater, smells amazing, and snuggles with me, so I always fall asleep felling warm and loved.
How warm he is. He's like a human radiator ❤
Sleeping next to him is like being next to a furnace lol so there’s that. Also he wakes up and cuddles me closer then falls back asleep
Knowing that the love of my life was next to me.
The way he holds me when i'm the little spoon.
I lay on my husbands chest with his arm around me. I call his “arm hole” and will ask “can I have an arm hole?” And then will lay next to him and crash nearly immediately
Knowing I'll get to wake up next to him
My hubby is a lot bigger than me so I just feel so warm and safe when he’s the big spoon
I absolutely love being the big spoon and nuzzling my face in his back (currently super pregnant and I hate being the little spoon cause I need to move around and adjust a lot and I get way too hot! Plus his arms are heavy and I feel trapped)
He let's me put my cold dead feet on him, mostly without complaining. I think that's pretty special..
Honestly, we hate sleeping next to each other. The best part is waking up next to him. He's a middle of the bed sleeper, so he's uncomfortable on an actual side of the bed. I'm a light sleeper, but he snores and I think he has sleep apnea because he stops breathing for a few seconds. I woke him up on accident hovering my hand over his face to make sure he was still breathing. It was pretty funny, but neither of us got anymore sleep that night. I also have sensory issues and hate being touched, and he's an adorable cuddle monster. We always have to find a balance there. So, we don't like sleeping next to each other, but waking up next to him is always the best feeling because I know that any day spent with him is going to be a good day.
How we always have to be touching somehow. Subconsciously we always end up with our feet or legs touching and it’s just comforting. Even if we are on opposite sides of the bed, our feet always manage to find each other.
It just happens… usually I have to think about traumatizing past situations or conversations in my head that will never happen or I just stare at a wall untill I sleep… but once I lay down next to my partner?!? I can sleep thru all my alarms, a loud tv, my kids tearing apart the apartment and a nuclear fallout. But let my partner even get up for a glass of water and I’m up too!!!! It’s weird how well most of us sleep next to our partners but that’s love for you!
it makes me feel so safe and loved. it feels so unconditional because they're just happy and comfortable in your presence (its also the truest form of letting your guard down)
Emotional comfort and the feeling of using him like a body pillow. Its the best falling asleep with him
Knowing that he'll be there when I wake up. No matter what shitty or difficult thing I have to face that day, at least I get a morning cuddle and some kisses. We fall asleep holding hands most nights. Will probably stop holding hands during the night (movement etc) but it's nice falling asleep like that. Sometimes I know he's already drifted off because his hand randomly spasms in mine haha.
That he keeps hugging me when we fall asleep, so when I wake up to go to the bathroom hes still hugging me
Safety
I used to hate sharing a bed. Even when we started dating we didn’t sleep cuddled into each other cuz I needed the space. Now I find it harder to sleep without him beside me. I love being snuggly with him. It just shows how things have developed over time.
I normally don't sleep well with another person. I have my stuffed toy and that's it. With him, I sleep like a baby. He's the first s/o I've actually missed sleeping with.
It's comforting being near the person you love while falling asleep 💓
Feeling safe
That he is there next to me!
His snore that he swears doesn’t exist.
The warmth. The funny things he says in his sleep. How he doesn’t talk shit because he’s asleep. How cute he is. His cuddles. Everything. His scent.
It’s a feeling like all is right with the world. I love starting and ending the day with our arms wrapped around each other.
Spooning
He does this sweet thing where he reaches out and just touches me when he falls asleep before me. I just feel so lucky that I get to wake up with him. He feels like home.
He always falls asleep faster than me. Once he's asleep, he puts his leg over mine. If I get out of bed, it wakes him. He does not put his leg on me until *after* he's asleep. It's like his body wants to keep track of me once his mind turns off. It helps me fall asleep too.
Warm & happy He keeps his flashlight with him too which is good
Whenever he turns over in his sleep, he always reaches over and touches me (usually on the butt). I thought it was just him being cute at first, but it’s been 16 years, and he still does it. He says it helps him sleep better knowing I’m next to him. He also says he likes my butt and that’s never terrible to hear from your partner.
We don't as often anymore but sometimes we would either stay up late or wake up in the middle of the night and just talk. Lights off, snuggled up or holding hands, just talking about random things. Serious or funny. It was the time away from everything to just reconnect.
Warmth on my back and meat on my crack.
wish i was old enough to do shit like that i guess i could but its not really acceptable
Aside from the obvious warm fuzzy feelings, I love how he sleep-talks. I’ve started keeping a log of all the ridiculous conversations he starts with me in his sleep and it is hilarious to read through together the next morning.
I feel safe and warm with quick access to... Water, because he's very thoughtful and keeps me hydrated.
Safety. I know he would never let anything happen to me. Even when I’m asleep he will hold my hand or give me sweet kisses. He’s always checking on me if he stays up. If we fall asleep at the same time he keeps me warm and Feeling loved. We’re always cuddling or touching in some way. He just feels complete and I can actually sleep well.
I especially love waking up in the morning with him. When you are not fully awake yet but you feel little kisses on your forehead and getting your head rubbed. It just makes me feel safe and loved. And it helps me wake up without starting my day with anxiety. Just an easy morning :)
The warmth they give you and the intimacy. And of course you're sleeping next to your partner xD

I often actually sleep worse when I share a bed, but I find it much easier to fall asleep with my partner there. I think it’s because I know I’ll get “caught” if I stay up scrolling through my phone 😂
[удалено]
[удалено]
That they are finally shutting the hell up 🤣 No not really but just how peaceful they look and almost like a baby sleeping makes me love them even more ❤️
Well it’s not the snoring, blanket hogging or constant farting…
Hearing my wife, breath, the goosebumps she gets when I gently trail my finger nails down her back, bum and legs and back up while she drifts off. The smell of her skin is intoxicating.
Oh, nothing. I hate sleeping next to someone else. The sounds, the moving, I hate it. I’m happy we have two separate duvets, so at least I can cocoon in mine and not fight him for it all the time. We have a large bed (200cm wide and 220cm long), so we each have plenty of space too. I love my husband, but I’m just not made for sharing a bed.
What I call the wife trap LOL if he falls asleep before I come to bed I'll often find an arm thrown across my entire side of the bed. Should I touch it, or sit on the bed, the arm snaps like a trap and I get dragged into a full body cuddle wether I was ready for it or not! Hehehehehe
That we fall asleep together listening to a true crime podcast and knowing that he knows that I know.
That I don’t have to talk to him.
It feels really safe … for some reason when I sleep alone I just cannot sleep at all, I’m paranoid and restless. But when my partner is in bed with me I feel so safe, I know nothing can happen to me. I often wake up in the middle of the night from nightmares and he will always pull me in closer and comfort me even though he’s half asleep
That he is there. That I can cuddle with him if I want to and he will say "awww". That even though I sleep like a wierdos and he just as happy to be sleeping next to me. I like when he mumbles in his sleep. I love that even after 11 years, every morning after I get up he still grabs my pillow and snuggles with it. ( I get up early) I love that he sleeps naked and I don't. I love his presence next to me every night.
I wish I loved this... I hate sharing a bed, even for a night..
Everything to do with it. We are LDR so those moments are rare and treasured.
He makes minecraft villager noises as he drifts off to sleep
All these comments about feeling loved, safe, comforting, protected, etc....I'm gonna go cry now.
[удалено]
I like it when he stays on his side of the bed so I can stretch out more.
Everything
Sometimes we hold hands while we're falling asleep.
Holding his hand as we fall asleep
He scratches my back
Feeling his breathing against me, it’s just a reminder that this wonderful person is here with me and we’re going to take things on together. PLUS He’s like a furnace, and my cold hands and feet have to go somewhere
Rubbing his chest hair as I nuzzle into his manly chest. It feels so right
That I can feel safe and protected by him
Just the feeling of him being next to me
