Superb Opinion

  • Neither. I only had one girlfriend who I shared my bed with as she one day just never went home - she had her own place. When we split up it only took about two weeks to having the bed to myself. Ot wasn’t a lonely thing as much as getting used to someone else not rolling me out of bed or waking me throughout the night. I never really slept well with her. In contrast to my last ex who I slept amazingly great with - and my sleeping usually sucks for context - and she slept deeply well with me... it is more I notice how my sleep itself has been affected by their presence or absence. When my last ex split, my slept became momentarily worse if at all. Still kind of is affected but it was never because I go to bed alone or awake alone. I mean, we only spend 5 nights together collectively. If anything, it is looking over at my passenger seat and seeing her image in my head or the spot on the couch in my office she would always sit in or her walking around a certain corner as I catch her walking back to my office after she would go for a wander around my mountain. Things like that do remind me in a way maybe, but they remind me more of her and not that I am alone. Seeing her in my head in those places just remind me that she is no longer a part of my life.

    • Yeah memories can keep sleep away sometimes

    • Indeed it can.

    • Yeah sucks don't it

  • I'd definitely say "going to bed alone". I always sleep better with a woman beside me in bed. Not sure why, but I'm much more relaxed that way. And I guess you'd say that running my own business, I have too much responsibility to do much thinking about that kind of thing in the morning, so I don't feel the impact of being alone as much in the morning as I do going to bed. Which, in a way, is weird, given how much I like morning sex...

    • Not weird, you said it right you have more time to think about it at night.. the morning, there's other things needing attention that can take your mind off it

    • Agreeing with you 110%

  • Neither really. I know, that sounds weird, but something about having a huge bed to myself doesn't bother me at all!
    I can sleep on whichever side I want, no one clings next to me (especially when it's hot as hell outside; I don't do cuddles when it's hot outside), or having to deal with a cover hog-

    Yeah I'm good. I don't get lonely going to bed because I watch tv or read a book before I fall asleep. When I wake up, I'm fine because I'm secure enough not to rely on someone for companionship to wake up to or fall asleep next to every day.

    My remote, phone, and tablet have their own spot in bed, LOL

    • 😂 that's true with the remote 🤣

    • @cynicaldreamer Oh I know I've already replied to this answer but your answer instantly connected with me...(are you sure you're not an awkward guy from the middle of England? lol) wake up exploring every corner of my bed... I literally love sleeping/falling to sleep... whether it's reading/falling asleep/rolling around whilst sleeping.. it's the highlight of my day! lol

  • Waking up alone to me hurts more than going to bed alone. I'd feel like they only wanted me fore the sex/fling and gone. Not caring about me even if they did that would ne how I would feel. Also felt like crap when that happened to me.

    • Sorry to hear that

    • I meant hurts me more than waking up alone* typo lol

    • 🤦‍♀️just reread it and realized that's what it said. Derpyderp lol

  • I’ve never woken up or gone to bed with a guy but I used to feel lonely at night but never felt lonely during the mornings - I just focused too much on other things to care about finding a guy

    • 👍🙂

  • Going to bed alone. Lying on his chest, with an arm holding me next to his warm body - makes me sleep better and feel at ease. I have now reverted back to a body pillow.

    • I hear you...

  • Neither one.

    Lonely? I don't know the meaning of the word. If I try real hard and dig up distant memories from the past, I know I've experienced such a thing before. But now, it's a meaningless word.

    It's been ages since I felt lonely. Some people don't get that. I don't get why so many people "need" someone. Enjoy being with someone, sure. But when people actually need to be with someone, it just seems strange. Aren't they a whole person by themselves?

    • Missing sleeping with someone means need? That sounds more like want them need? Did I say my world ending cuz alone? No... But yeah sure sharing a life and bed with someone for 20 yesterday excuse the hell out of me for missing that

    • *years not yesterday

    • I suppose I semi changed the subject. I brought up need because some people are like that. Need would be at the further end of the spectrum past want. Actually I've known several people like that. It goes well beyond wanting companionship to really needing it. My neighbor was like that. When her husband died a few years back I knew she was someone who hated being alone. I knew it wouldn't be long before she was out looking. It took about four months before she started talking about dating. She missed her husband dearly. She still does. But she just needed someone else there. She has a pretty good guy now, so good for her. Lol, I'm rambling. Nothing new there. :)

  • Going to bed alone, but to be honest, I enjoy sleeping so much that I barely notice the difference

    • 😂😂 so apparently you don't have sleep issues, lucky you...

    • Yeah, lucky me :)

    • 😝 lololol

  • Going to bed alone... bc i get to hugg my pillows and no one to cuddle and fall asleep under a man's chest to know I am secure under his arms.

    • Yeah same... And my hubby had some big arms when he was healthier before that changed the sicker he got so yeah slays loved that feeling bring wrapped in those arms 🥰

  • Neither. My wife and I are on different schedules. I go to bed after her and she gets up before I do. But I feel really lonely when she isn't sleeping beside me.

    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    It's not warm when she's away
    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
    This house just ain't no home
    Anytime she goes away [overnight]

    • Awwwww 🙂🙂

  • I think going to bed alone tbh got so much to do in the mornings there was never a moment to feel lonely, when your awake at night the thoughts are your only company

    • If that ain't truth right there!

    • If only you did a poll, would have been interesting to see what the responses were at a glance lol

    • Yeah guess shoulda.. guess you'll have to read the replies lol... At a glance I'd say it's both... And yeah really both suck... Guess all depends on the day which one sucks more 🤷🏼‍♀️

  • Great, he is. such a bed hog. At least having the bed to myself. I can get some real sleep

    • Yeah there's that. But if he was gone permanently, you'd miss him in the bed. Temporary reprieve from snoring or midnight blanket wars yeah, permanent not as great: (

    • Yeah, I can see that for sure.

    • Funny I used to get so irritated trying to fall asleep next to my hubby when he snored... But, I'd give anything to hear it now : ((

  • When I have a partner, my favorite part of the day (other than making love) is going to sleep, spooned together with my arms around her.

  • Fucking alone!

    • Yeah that's no fun alone

  • More lonely?🤔
    Having to go to bed alone when don't want to go to bed alone.

    • Yeah that's a bummer

  • When I get home eat take a shower and get in bed I'm out but when I wake up in the morning I am horning and beyond I mean so horny it runs right last just love lonely and is screammming someone fuck me from every window of my house at the same lime lol as I put one foot on the floor and think to myself here we go again lol

    • Yeah that sucks

  • Costco was selling this HUGE bear, and SUPER soft, and only $20!!
    When you are single, and have a nice, cuddly bear, how can you be 'lonely'!!
    The bear NEVER bitches that you don't come home and talk to it, it NEVER complains if you take the blanket, or accidentally knock it out of the bed, and it never complains that you don't spend enough time with it, or tell it you love it!!

    • That's beary cool 🙂🙂

    • @brainsbeforebeauty LOL!! :) :)

  • Only tried sleeping next to someone all night with friends so I'm not familiar with the feeling of sleeping next to a lover.

    But I definitely do feel lonelier going to bed than waking up from it.

    Because when I'm waking up I'm looking forward and hoping maybe tomorrow I'm not alone in bed.

    But at night I'm faced with the reality that yet again for the millionth time I'm sleeping all by myself.

    • Yeah till the next night approaches

  • I prefer falling asleep with a partner. Especially nights after a long shift and I've had people throw drinks in my face.

    • Yeah that's the best part

  • The waking up alone part sucks more...

    • Think they both suck

  • both i dont want to go to sleep by my self and i dont want to wake up by my self i love to cuddle with jax before i go to sleep and when i wake up too

    • Right!!!

  • Neither. Both are equally peaceful.

  • Waking up alone

  • I love sleeping alone

    • Well, you don't gotta deal with snoring or bed or blanket hog, but still like having someone in the bed, waking up wrapped in their arms
