We don't sleep together every night, every weekend which isn't enough BTW. We're doing long distance during the week, he comes home from College Friday afternoons he meets me at my last class (jr. College), sometimes he even sits through it (what a guy). We normally stay in my room, I have a queen size vs. his double bed. Or sometimes I go to stay at his apartment near his college.
Sorry so long, background.
Anyway Monday and Tuesday are the worst, I can't sleep tonight either. I've tried one of those long body pillows, it's just not the same as him, it's not warm, doesn't breath, doesn't have a heartbeat, doesn't move or love me back. It's not the sex thing, it's the companionship part of it, it's like half of my heart is ripped out when he leaves for the week. I don't know how the wives (hubbies too) bear with the long term loneliness when their spouse is deployed, that would be so hard to take. Thinking that way maybe five days apart isn't quite as bad as it seems. It hurts enough. #MissMyGuy2Nite

My boyfriend it's currently across the country for 3 weeks and it's only been three days and I'm sleeping horribly. We don't sleep with eachother every night due to him living about 30 min away and has to care for his grandmother and the nights he's not there are the worst.
So he's been gone for about a week and I've been sleeping horribly, waking up all the time and just wanting him or even to hear his voice. He finally called after long driving schedules and I slept ok...
It's difficult not having him here. It's very lonely and I miss him like crazy.
Ikr?
It's sweet, but at the same time really annoying. Even if he's just in the other room and I need to go to bed early, I just cannot sleep, until I can feel he's there under the duvet with me.
He told me he had trouble sleeping without me being there as well.
Now on most days if either of us wants to go to bed, the other will join. Doesn't necessarily need to sleep, can play on the phone or something, but then that helps with either him or me fall asleep quicker.
I'm pretty used to sleeping with my girlfriend too. I have trouble falling asleep on my own because I just can't get comfortable without her there. If I'm on my own I end up falling asleep with my arms crossed because I'm used to having them like that when I'm with her.
Is this a real thing? I would just go X formation on the bed and wait for the snores but then again... I am not the touchy feely type lol... so this complete befuddles me. I can see and understand what you mean... but I really can't feel it or imagine the feeling.
