i'm coming to the conclusion it's something they do only in the movies.
i mean, the idea of it is romantic, sweet and everything, but before falling asleep i always change position 25657 times, i keep moving, turning, and it's really not possible to do it if your body is hugging or being hugged.
the best i can do is to lay my head on his shoulder. but my hand remains on his chest for not more than 3 minutes!

share your experience (hugging soft toys counts, too).
 
Hearse is correct. I think it just depends on how restless a sleeper you are. If i'm tired I could fall asleep in comfy hugging position....whereas if i'm not really tired i'd also have to shift about a lot before I fall asleep. It just depends who you are dude.

It's kind spoon position where I put my leg between the womans leg and arm under her neck and other one around. Very comfy position, me loves :dopey:
mmmmh, to try! :D my only doubt is: after how many minutes lee's arm under my neck will loose sensitiveness?

Hearse said:
Only problem in it is that I get extremely horny while sleeping like that :loco:
lol, i can see why ;)


edit:
@sculpted: yeah, you're right. from now on, extremely tiring session before sleeping :p
 
i think it's all psychological - if you really love someone it might be comfortable and pleasant, but if you love someone but nothing about him/her exciting anymore and all is routine it might be boring and really uncomfortable

Yes, it's easily possible both with people and soft toys.

And by the way, if you lay your head on his shoulder and he hugs you, it counts as sleeping being hugged, doesn't it?

hey, soulburner :hotjump: how are you????

i don't know if it counts, it's not hugging each other, i don't think. the hugging i have in mind is the koala + tree hug!!
 
i must say that except for all the sexual asides, hearse is perfectly correct both possibility- and position-wise. the problem is indeed often psychological, and it can be solved by collapsing into sleep hugging each other, instead of just lying about waiting for sleep to just happen. as in: you guys talk and talk and have sex and play typer shark and whatever, until you can't keep your eyes open anymore. then there's going to be less tossing and turning.

the arm-under-neck routine is difficult to perform without getting uncomfortable after around half an hour, but if you're already asleep by then, you'll just notice when you wake up all sore and weak in the limbs. but that's another matter altogether: romanticism happily forgets that tomorrow even exists, doesn't it?

however, i'm sickened by all this sugary talk of hugs and people sleeping together, or at least i pretend to, and look forward to the day when i'll be sleeping with a professional hugger such as hearse. soon. it will be soon.

@Seraphim: for me it works on hot temp too, but then I get horny x2 and then I get hot x2 and then I get horny x4 and... o_O
the correct sequence is: you have sex --> you get to sleep. not the other way around, that's just plain silly. have you ever seen a movie where the token couple arrives to his/her place and they fall asleep like boulders only to have sex around three hours later?
 
Hearse said:
How soon? :eek:
start counting.


haha yes, but,
In my case it can also be; sex, half sleep, sex, half sleep, sex, half sleep, morning sex, coffee... :oops:
well, if you don't sleep in the intervals you're just not tired enough. it has nothing to do with the fact that your sex drive could be used to quickly build pyramids without pulleys or other machinery. ;)
 
Depends on how restless a sleeper you are two I guess. I have only once in living memory woken up without the sheets disturbed and in the same position that I fell asleep with. If you're tossing and turning all night like I seem to do more often than not, then sure you've goint to have trouble sleeping that close together.

Thank god for an empty queen size double bed........... :erk:
 
@spike: i do toss and turn a lot in my sleep (the little i get), but hugging someone does calm me down a bit, so in the end it can also make you change your position much less during the average night.
i shall also point out for hearse's sake that if you are having sex then you're supposed to toss and turn much more. ;)

Well obviously that's something I'm never going to have to worry about. :Smug:

that's bullshit man, you'll get laid like everybody else. unless you want to score with somebody gothic i'd suggest you try and get a little more confident, to speed up the process a bit. it really gets you halfway there. you don't even need to be smart or good-looking, and you're probably both anyway.
 
What I have a habit of doing is intertwining my arms with the person next to me. But that's as close to hugging as I get as the only people I have shared a bed with have been my baby sisters .
 
I always hug my bf when i go to bed, but if i haven't slept in 5 minutes, then i definately have to turn position which is what happens most of the times.
 
My and my man have fallen asleep cuddling several times so it is possible. We've slept spooned up with me snuggling up behind him, then with him behind me with one of his arms under my neck (he always squeezes my boobs though so it's harder to sleep like that) and also with him on his back and my head resting on his chest in a cuddle. Unfortunately, when we go to bed specifically to sleep he tends to curl up and burrow down under the duvet so I spend most of the night fighting to get comfy whilst still keeping him covered up with duvet (I don't want his back to get cold y'see).
