OhM Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 The bedroom arrangement thread made me wonder. Does everyone have "assigned spaces" in your bed? Is your side always your side? Is it possible to switch from time to time? Dh and I always have slept in the same place. I can't even imagine sleeping on the other side. In fact, if he's out of town, I may move a tad toward the middle, but don't even think of sleeping elsewhere in the bed. Switching places is so unthinkable that it almost seems impossible. So what say you - has anyone done this, or can you even imagine doing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punks in Ontario Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 when we're away. Then I keep moving to the edge (what would normally be toward dh) to get warm, and toward the middle to cool off. It kind of mixes us up. LOL.

stripe Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I am much more flexible than y'all. :) I don't have a "side." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Dh and I have slept on our prescribed sides of the bed since we got married 18 years ago. I am a left-side sleeper, so I need to be on the left side of the bed (for optimal snuggling, plus clear airway for a lifelong allergy sufferer.) The only time we ever consider changing is when we are traveling. In hotels, we take the bed closest to the door. I often like to read before going to sleep so I might actually end up on the right side depending on where the lamp is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Dh typically likes sleeping closest to the door (and yes, I've considered the subconcious issues that might imply :glare:), but he also likes to read before bed, so if we are somewhere that has a lamp on the side away from the door he will choose that side. I don't care which side I sleep on. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofkhm Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 and my side is the middle of the bed! :lol: Not really Funny story - I have friends who decied early in their marriage they were not going to have your side/my side of the bed. So without any word to the kids they would just switch. There was one time their son (I htink he was 5 at the time) came in looking for mommy in the middle of the night. He came to the side that was hers last time he checked and found daddy. Instead of going to the other side of the bed, he cried loudly "Where's Mommy!?" I don't think they ever switched sides of the bed again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babysparkler Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 We always have Dh closest to the door, so if I move the room around or if we are at a hotel, we just adjust accordingly. I guess we have always done it because he is the "protector" and we feel like he should be closest to the bedroom door to protect us.

Dawn in OH Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I've slept on the same side of the bed for the entire 10 1/2 years we've been together. At home, a hotel, you name it. Although with him working nights and my two year old being a bed piggy, I often wake up on my husband's side of the bed. But I always START OUT on my own side.

elise1mds Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I'm closest to the door here because the kids always come in looking for me, not DH. However, when DH is OOT, I take the whole darn bed myself!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoyfulMama Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Funny - my DH prefers to be closer to the door too... But he had a weird dream one night and thought there was someone in the house - he tried to wake me up to make ME go check it out!!! :001_huh: My DH works nights, and I find myself sleeping in his "space" when he's not here at night.

Desert Rat Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 In 16 years we have switched sides once. This switch happened when I was first pregnant and had to lay on my right side. Up to this point I had the right side but I didn't want to face the middle so we switched so I could have it my way! :o What a sweet honey I have. It took us about a week to get used to it and we haven't ever switched back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garga Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 We've switched a few times over the years (maybe 6 or so times in 17 years.) I would love to switch randomly, whenever we felt like it...but dh doesn't really like to switch sides. He just sighs, rolls his eyes, and starts moving his stuff (from the side table) to the other side of the bed when I say I'd like to switch again. And one time, when we felt we didn't have enough room, we slept sideways on the bed. We're both not very tall, so our feet only hung out a little. I would have loved to keep that up, but he got tired of sleeping sideways pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
