sleeping in single bed with bf
my boyfriend and i have been sleeping together for about 2 months, we have a great time and everything but at both our houses we only have single beds so when we stay over were both in the same single bed. I have never been able to actually get any sleep at all and lie awake all night, i know he is restless as well. does anyone else have this problem? is there a way to overcome it or do u just get used to it?
soz for thr anon people know me on here.

Right
I cannot share a single bed with my bf
I know a lot of people will be like 'aww but if you love him..', well I say STFU.
When he comes over to mine he knows he eventually has to move down to a sleeping bag (I bought an air mattress, I am considerate). I find it nice to have a nap with him but I always wake up after an hour.
Just say you can't do it!
Luckily, next year we'll have a flat with a double bed and I'm fine with that! But whilst I prefer a KING size bed, my bf would rather a double so we can always be close, lol.

Yeah it's dead annoying. At my uni we call them contraceptive beds because they're so narrow. Fact is there just isn't really enough space for two people, but you do get used to it. I can manage quite a good sleep now but for when it gets too cramped I have a sleeping bag on the floor. 
dunno, i've been sharing a single bed with my bf for about 2 years. I don't 'put up with it because I love him' or anything, we just seem to both be able to sleep without any problems. maybe just lucky. we dont share a bed every night tho - sometimes we need a bit more space! but I often come down to his room (we share a house) in the mornings for a cuddle. best of both worlds then!
I really think it depends alot on the guy! I shared a bed with two of my flatmates (on separate occasions!) not because i was having sex with them just because i had friends sleeping in my bed and i'm good mates with flatmates. Anyway to the point of my post and to stop me sounding like a complete slut.. sharing with them was an absolute nightmare. One insisted on putting his hand on my face at random intervals through the night and talked in his sleep 
The other thought it was perfectly okay to do an impression of a starfish and attempt to push me out the bed!
However with my ex boyfriend and other guys i've had no problems!

I manage it just fine, I do it because I'm too nice to kick him out! I sleep just fine the only problem is in the summer it's just too hot so need a fan on all night and I find my back will start hurting after a couple of nights 
We manage just fine and we don't share a bed often as its a LDR.
A couple of times we have even managed to sleep together on a sofa! lol wasn't comfortable but we were both so tired we just fell asleep and woke up in the morning!
However fi you do find it uncomfortable then maybe it's worth investing in an air bed (Maybe a double one?) for when he stays over. the double one will allow you both to sleep together!

In a single bed I sleep perfectly, girlfriend though...not so much.

well i'm afriad it's pretty obvious that a single bed is not meant 4 2 ppl! either put up with it, get a double bed, or yr bf doesn't stay over!
I've never had a problem sharing a single, but I'm so used to sleeping in a single because I spent half my childhood sharing with my sister in her bed because she got night terrors 
bless. My parents would tell her just to ignore them and think of nice things (well can you blame them, getting woken with 'I'm scared' every night at 2am) but if she came to me, I'd have her in my bed or go sleep with her. Aw. She's 15 now and if she knew I told people about that, she'd kill me.
But yeah, I've never had a problem getting sleep in a single with other people in there. Although they might, given that I apparently shake and jolt at random intervals. I never notice though, so it's fine for me

Me and g/f share beds whenever we visit each other's unis, she has a double sofa-bed at home and we share round mine (Been like this for at least a year)... There's only one occasion when I've found myself just totally unable to share and had to go on an airbed in all that time! But I do find I get MUCH hotter when sharing and we have to sleep back to back *cough*.
As far as I'm concerned, we share when we want and sleep separately when we need to (Not often, admittedly).

I'm such a light sleeper i cant sleep with the bf in a king size bed!! I do anyway but rarely get a restful nights sleep... I hope with age i become more of a sound sleeper or im gonna live a tired life when we move in together....

I manage OK. Firstly, it's probably best to throw out any romantic ideas you have of falling asleep clinched in each others arms, you just get bad pins and needles! Also "spooning" tends to result in a faceful of hair...
I manage it, neither of us is particularly large and my gf likes to sleep on her side, I on my back and we both fit.
