Are you a cuddler or a loner?

I thrash around all night, and I don't like being too warm. I've also been single for twenty years, so I definitely prefer to sleep alone. The cats never seem to bother me though, and I love sharing my bed with them!

I guess it is a good thing that I am a single individual because I am most definitely not a cuddler. For those times when I was involved in a relationship over the years sleep-overs meant you stayed on your own side of the bed.

Jerry and I sleep on either side of the bed. We both prefer to sleep without touching. Easier for me. He's too hot! Plus, we usualy have at least 3 kitties between us!

I seem to attract loners -- both in terms of kitties and guys -- so i generally don't meet my internal cuddle quota.

We have twin beds. The reason being is that DH is a BIG guy and when we had a king size water bed, he would take over 3/4 and I would have about 1/4 of the bed.

Now with the twin beds, we both are comfortable. He covers up and with my hot flashes, I sleep above the covers or with just a sheet

We're opposite of what is the "movie norm".
DH would like to cuddle. I want my space.


But when we're sleeping, usually something is touching, even if it's just a leg. I have to sleep a good foot below his head level because I have to leave room for Mojo to sleep above my head on my pillow, and if any of the other cats choose to sleep with us (if Mojo isn't around to be territorial of the bed
) then we end up smooshed together anyway. For little critters they sure take up a large amount of real estate!

DH and I both preferr to cuddle, but hate being hot when we sleep, AND both need to have heavy blankets on to sleep.... so AC is set for 68, and the ceiling fan in on in the summer (kitties sleep wiht us too, it gets sooooo hot in bed!) and in the winter we let the heat drop down to 65 and keep the fan on. We are always in contact witheachoter though, even if I'm hot and throw off the sheet and middle blanket (fuzzy) and just keep the down comfortor on
and yes... we sleep with 2 blankets and a sheet year round... in the winter we add the fleece sheets!! lol

I am a cuddler by nature, so naturally cuddling is one of the things I miss the most about my ex... I love cuddling.
And a warm bed on a cold night. Best thing ever!

Pixel & Bamf don't even like to sleep on the bed with me (they sleep in their cat tree right next to my bed), so I'm out of luck.

A combo. I cuddle at first but usually roll over after the first ten minutes or so. BUT, I always have to be touching Josh in some way. Even if it's a foot on his leg or a hand on his back, I can't stand it when I'm totally separated. Guess it's just comforting to know he's there.

Depending on the night, I like either.
Cuddling is particularly good in the winter (although I apparently have freezing cold feet
) and I tend to sleep witha bit of distance in the summer. I think it actually depends who goes to bed first. If it's DH, I'll usually cuddle, but if it's me it's usually because he has insomnia and then he'll give me space so he doesn't wake me up.

We're both loners when we're sleeping. Unfortunately for me, the cats aren't so I've usually got two furry cuddlers.

same with Jake!! I am so jealous of people who have kitties to cuddle with at night...
Jake used to sleep on my bed when he was a baby though and he always woke me up kneading on top of me
so...it has its ups and downs

Cuddle until I get too hot and then I move away. I love the winter because my bf is like a little heater.

That's me too. If, (big if) I ever find myself cohabiting again it will be separate bedrooms. While I was married I hated sharing a bed. I never got used to it.

I sleep with my cats, only.

I don't have a choice since I choose to to sleep with dogs, a cat, and significant other every night
Wouldn't have it any other way
