Night Terrors

It seems to me that most people sleep a lot better when laying in bed with someone else. I have heard countless times from my friends that they, "Like a warm body next to them". Unfortunately, I am not one of those people. It's not that I don't like sleeping next to someone, I just sleep like shit when someone is laying next to me. I have had girls tell me it is because my bed must not be comfortable for me. But when I stay at their place, in the "Most comfortable bed in the world" they tell me, I still sleep like shit!!

I was with a girl for 3 years, and it wasn't really till the end of that relationship that I started sleeping ok next to her. I am pretty sure this is just a comfort issue. When I am trying to sleep next to someone, I worry about WAY too many things that I don't need to worry about. For instance, when I am alone in a bed, I move around a lot because it is hard for me to get comfortable. And I'm not talking just slight movements, I'm talking about some violent rolling over action going on in my bed. I am completely aware of this, and when a lady is in the bed with me, I start finding myself moving as gently as possible. I don't want to wake my bed partner because I can't get comfortable, so I often sit in uncomfortable positions for long periods of time trying to decide when I should make the next movement.

I like to cuddle in the bed, and as long as you do too, I don't mind wrapping my arms around you all night spooning. That is pretty comfortable to me, but then again, that also brings up its own issues. I start wondering if I am breathing on your neck and if it is annoying. How's my breath? How's my breath??

Eventually I can fall sleep, but then I'll wake up because I thought I heard myself snore. Did I snore? Did she hear me snore? Can someone even hear themselves snore? I don't think so. But this is the type of shit that goes through my head when I am laying next to a woman in bed.
