But I&#8217;ve enjoyed giving her a hard time about it either way.<\/p>\n<p>I thought I&#8217;d add to the story and point out a couple other things I&#8217;ve noticed at night (because I honestly have not noticed this struggle for the sheets and blankets that she refers to ;-)).<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve both had our own bed for so long. She&#8217;s 5&#8217;2&#8243; and had her own full size bed all to herself and I&#8217;m 6&#8217;5&#8243; and have had my own king size bed to myself. Now, not only do we share a house and bedroom together, we share a bed!<\/p>\n<p>I think because of us not being used to sharing a bed, we&#8217;ve gotten into an odd pattern of sleeping.<br \/>\nWe both have a tendency to wake up anytime the other person wakes up, the only downside is I roll back over and go right back to sleep. She takes a good while longer to fall back asleep.<\/p>\n<p>I remember several nights with this pattern. Fall asleep. Wake up a couple hours later to a pat on my arm, poke in the ribs, push on my shoulder, &#8220;Roll over!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Roll over your snoring!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sorry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I roll over and fall back asleep. Several hours later the event reoccurs.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for her, she doesn&#8217;t fall back asleep as quickly and getting up at 4:45 a.m. doesn&#8217;t help matters.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also noticed that when I wake up at other times in the middle of the night I have a tendency to accidentally &#8220;kick&#8221; her with my foot or hit her with a knee or hand or something when I roll over.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s in no way intentional. She may not even notice it. But I do and I feel horrible.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not with great gusto &#8211; but for some reason my 6&#8217;5&#8243; frame has trouble staying on my side of the bed when I roll over and she&#8217;s normally right in the middle of the bed when I do.<\/p>\n<p>So for any added &#8220;mystery&#8221; bruises you might have Laurie &#8211; I think I&#8217;ve found the problem and I apologize in advance for anymore.<\/p>\n<p>So the moral of the story is&#8230; well I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>How about this, &#8220;Don&#8217;t sleep on your back if you tend to snore and keep your hands, feet and legs to yourself once the decision to go to sleep has been made.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, my wonderful life posted a funny entry yesterday about the &#8220;fight&#8221; over the sheet and blanket on our king size bed.
