How do you deal with your spouse being reliant on you being in bed to 😴😴 sleep?

[RoseySarah]

He sleeps in 4 hours more then I do but on some days he gets up way earlier then I do.

How do I handle him needing me in bed when I wanna be up doing stuff? Not laying there worried I'll move and accidentally wake him.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

I would think following your own routine and allowing him to get used to it would be the only real way to fix this problem. You could also try getting him a nice body pillow to snuggle with after you get out of bed.

[RoseySarah]

So no room for a body pillow but maybe in time he will. Cause I like being there when he wakes but 3 bathroom breaks in 4 hours yeah can't sneak around that schedule.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

Maybe you could slip the body pillow onto the bed when you get up?

[RoseySarah]

Haha sounds so naughty 🤣 some how.

[Fireguy17]

we have had a sleep divorce for years.
My wife snores like a lumberjack, and my pager goes off at odd hours.
It is hard on vacations, I make her bring her CPAP or I simply will not go.

[RoseySarah]

Haha my sister loves with that it's so bad I could not sleep when I visited!

[IslaTheWitch]

me - early bird, my ex - late owl

No way we could spend much time in bed sleeping. I had to accept it and he had to accept it. Life.

[RoseySarah]

True compromise is life! love that sleepy time in between and snuggles 💕

[rosemilk]

girl, go about your life. no need to lay there because you don't want to wake him up. sounds constricting. why does he need you there?

[RoseySarah]

To relax and help him sleep. We talked on the phone all night while dating and fell asleep.
He wakes up for the bathroom and misses me not letting him sleep

[Peter_Penetrator]

Sounds like a boundary you need to set. Maybe you can do something real quick for him after getting out of bed before him. Like making coffee. Something that he would look forward to that otherwise wouldn’t be waiting on him if you stayed in bed.

[Jennz6]

Sleep 💤 naked and ready, it’s okay if you’re asleep when you’re needed, because his actions will wake you up

[RoseySarah]

True and I love some good sleepy time wake up but this is more just sleeping 😴

[Jennz6]

@roseysarah be there for him and be obedient and submissive to him

[KittygosMeoWW]

I don't know lol I haven’t slept in or slept next to anyone other than my baby in two years now

[RoseySarah]

Aw has your baby got on Thier schedule in 2 years?
Have they had night terrors?

[KittygosMeoWW]

Had bad pregnancy and my baby will not get on a schedule

[RoseySarah]

Here is a big hug sorry praying they will so you can sleep more the tis such a big need!

[Agape93]

It's annoying. I sleep where I want and feel most comfortable at that time. So when I do manage to get sleep, I don't want to be told to move where someone else wants me to be. Just let me sleep ffs

[love_conquers_lust]

Get up and do what you need to do. Both of you should have learned how to sleep independently well before you met. You can’t enjoy each other to the fullest sleep deprived.

[NathanDavis]

the same I'd do with toddlers, puppies and kittens...

I'll take them to their own spot over and over, till they learn to be okay on themselves...

with love and care, of course (=

[RoseySarah]

Puppy's sound so adorable let them wake him up

[NathanDavis]

lmao, it is... but is not that a good idea that they get so attached and develop separation anxiety or something... lol (=

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Gently get out of bed and pat him to go back to sleep, LMAO

[syncheart]

I think stuff like this is nothing more then a phase of life.

[Anonymous]

Well i'd probably call him a 😺.

Then you could get him a body pillow with your face on it. Cause c'mon what man needs a woman next to him to sleep?

You sure he's not just telling you that?

[RoseySarah]

Same reason a woman needs a man to sleep.
Every one says body pillows for some creepy anime reason. I'd so not want my face on it.
His kisses are mine

[Opinion Owner]

You say same reason for women as though men and women are the same. We're not! I question whether this guy is being honest. I don't know ANY guy who needs this. Thus is the first case I've ever heard of.

[SunnyRS]

Is he a light sleeper?
If yes then you got to move when you have to move and if he wakes up just tell him you will be back in a few minutes and stroke his head to sleep.

[RoseySarah]

Very light but takes forever to get back to sleep unless it's a bathroom break

[SunnyRS]

That's tough then.
Maybe put some soothing music to relax and make him sleep

[DaBiggestBird]

You’ll just have to tell him in the most respectful way possible to deal with it

[Apple1996]

Just get up and go about your day

[Jamie05rhs]

Aww. That's really cute. 🤗

But it's also technically not your problem lol.

[Jamie05rhs]

Do you want me to have a word with him and talk some sense into him?

[Anonymous]

Get him a teddy bear?

[Kelly6]

make your time same as his

[RoseySarah]

Make my sleep same as his?

[Kelly6]

yes.

[Kingofkings1992]

Tell him to grow up. You are not his mommy

[Crankor]

Buy him a stuffie

[OddBeMe]

Find a non-needy ahole.

[RoseySarah]

Like you needy losers on here yeah I'll take needing hugs over you needy whiny bitches!

[OddBeMe]

Your loss.
