I could sleep without my boyfriend but it takes me alot longer to fall asleep rather than if i cuddled up with him and went to sleep. I hate it but my boyfriend used to work night shift and i slept alone every night.

I can sleep quite well without him next to me, don't have to bother with his tossing/turning, pulling the comforter away, and his loud snoring. But of course I can't let him know that!

I have gone to bed while he was out knowing that he will be coming home. But if he was gone traveling, I think I would have a very hard time going/staying asleep. I know it would be possible it would just really really suck!

Yes, I can sleep, but I don't sleep as well without her.

It's a bit hard the first night or so... but afterwards I'm fine.

I dont like too :'[

Yeah!

Unfortunately, no. My husband was gone the entire month of Jan. and this month as well. I am exhausted. He says he can't sleep either. I am all over the bed when he's not here. The covers end up on the floor and I end up with my head down at the foot sometimes. It is insane. I cannot wait for him to come home, so we can both get some rest then have some fun!

I can sleep about the same with or without my SO. However, I do find myself falling asleep more quickly and easily with her cuddling with me...

We are doing the long distance thing right now so I've had to adjust to sleeping by myself. I had a hard time adjusting to being alone in the bed at first. I am getting better sleep now, but it still isn't as refreshing as when we are together.

if i can't sleep with my husband i let my little ones sleep with me

I sleep most nights without my partner because we are in an LDR. After visits are the worst, but I get through.

My fiance is in the air force. We have dated since we were both 17, and I always knew it was coming... so I was somewhat mentally prepared that he would be gone for a long time. Then he went off to summer camps our junior and senior year, and I started to miss him a lot. He was a part of the family, and was almost always at my home... or me at his home.

The worst was when he graduated and left to the air force academy... I literally saw him only on holidays. And not all holidays either. Christmas (for a week), Easter (for 5 days), Thanksgiving (4 or 5 days)... and occasionally after a year or two I was able to see him more often. They get somewhat of "vacation days" I guess you could say. I still don't know how it works, but he was able to come see me spontaneously at himes.

I was so happy to be sleeping next to him when he came home, but I swear, each time after he left it was an entire month of insomnia from hell. Just tossing and turning. After he graduated from the academy, and he moved back to the base closer to home things got a lot easer. We got engaged, and he was able to see me on the weekends and even during the week. He travels often, but not for long periods of time... usually 3-5 days. For instance right now he will be in New Mexico until Tuesday and he gets home Wednesday.

I guess it becomes a routine after a while. Just as some wives wait for their husbands to get home from work at 6:00 each night, I wait for my fiance to get home every few days. It is hard sometimes sleeping without him. There are times when we have argued, or had something unpleasant happen right before he travels. And we have to wait to discuss it until he lands or gets home. Those nights are the worse.

I just try to keep busy. Blog, pamper myself, study, and make art. It makes the time go by. As far as sleeping... pills haha.
