Sleeping styles

One of the many joys of living with the man who promised to love you forever is sharing a bed with him every night the Army lets him come home. When we started dating, I spent pretty much every night until the end of that semester at Mac’s apartment, so we quickly discovered each other’s sleeping styles. In general, we try to respect the “yours” and “mine” sides of the bed. Covers are a whole other ball of wax.

Mac: the Virginia creeper

I named Mac’s style in honor of his being from Virginia and all. He slowly creeps across the bed: he starts on his side of the bed, then an arm comes slinging across. Wham, bam, he’s full on snuggles whilst I’m blogging and Pinteresting. I tend to stay along the edge of the bed, so his sly tactics place us both on my 40% of the bed. Mac also enjoys sleeping diagonally across our queen side bed, with his head on his pillow and his feet ensuring that I can’t stretch out my legs.

Yeah, it’s as awkward as it looks.

Me: the Genghis Khan

Complete and total conquest. Every time I tell Mac that he encroaches on my space, he reminds me of my own bed stealing technique. When Mac gets up during the night or to get ready for work, I tend to reach out to stop him (really, I sleepily throw an arm in his direction, roll over, and fall back asleep). This results in me now occupying the majority of the bed. If Mac is getting back in bed, he has the unfortunate task of moving me. I don’t wake up easily.

How do you and your spouse sleep? Who steals the bed? Who wants to see more of my MS Paint creations?
