I have not slept next to my partner in 6 years. We got a bigger king sized bed not long ago and want to try sleeping next to each other again. He doesn’t snore. I am hyperaware of being next to him and have difficulty relaxing. I don’t want to wake him by getting out of bed so much either…
Has anyone experienced this or worked with someone in a similar situation?
Thank you.Hello!
You cope with this just in same way you cope with the stress of getting poor sleep. Your sleep drive will always win! It doesn’t matter where you sleep, right next to a noisy street, or near an airport with airplanes taking off or landing all the time, people will get used to these and then things will settle down, they become non-factors until people actually can’t sleep without the noise they got accustomed to! It might be difficult first few nights, don’t overreact and it will start breaking in. Stop underestimating your body, it can sleep anywhere and anytime as long as the drive is there. Ultimately this is a fear of poor sleep, not the actual sleep itself and people will only get over it once they manage the fear well. Best of luck, good night and happy sleeping next to your partner!
