Having trouble sleeping? - May 29th 2011, 08:09 PM

My girlfriend and I have slept together on about 4-5 occasions, last night being one of those occasions. Before you stop reading the rest of the thread and responding "you just gotta get used to it," I'm looking for actual advice on the assumption that my girlfriend and I won't get to sleep together very often. My girlfriend and I have high sex drives; however, we went to sleep shortly after having sex. I wore boxer briefs, and my girlfriend wore panties and a shirt. Even when not snuggling, I couldn't bring myself to get into a deep sleep; snuggling made it even wore.

So what would you recommend? Sleeping in clothes? Separate beds? Military style sleeping? Besides the obvious "get used to it" advice, of course.

The general consensus among my guy friends is to wear more clothing - shirt and pajama pants, not just underwear. Also, sleep however you normally would... on your back, on your stomach, on your side, turned a certain way, etc. Snuggling is great and all, but if it goes against your normal position, then feel free to wiggle away after 10 minutes and fall asleep in the position you normally would.

Wait until she's asleep, then roll her onto the floor.

LOL.

I agree with Robin. After doing something sexual, I always wriggled back into my clothes - sweatpants and a t-shirt - keeping up with my normal sleeping attire. I would hold hands and snuggle for a bit but eventually I'd go into my normal sleeping position, even if he tried to get me back to snuggling. I can't sleep if I'm not in a certain position - or positions, rather, as I go through the same cycle of positions before finally falling asleep - so this is what helped me.


If you feel you'd like additional support or to speak further with me, you can contact me through my personal Tumblr, Love Like An Hourglass (click), or PM me through TH.

Hey!

I agree with everyone else. Go about sleeping the normal way you would. Is the reason you are having a hard time falling asleep because of sexual thoughts? If so, definitely more clothing will be needed.
