How do you like sleeping with another person?

I can't sleep with other people in the same bed. I need the entire bed to move around on, I need all the pillows, and I need all of the blanket. But the only time I've tried is with a person who I'm not in a romantic/sexual relationship with. I usually cuddle up on a pillow,(forever alone,) so I might be able to sleep with a significant other.
I can do it, but what nearly always happen is me getting stuck into the gap between the mattress and the wall and waking up very, very sore. I also move around a lot and not being able to move out of fear of bothering the other person is very, very troublesome for me. While I can do it, I never have a good time with it. I much, much prefer to have the bed all to myself so I can sleep in random angles in my quest for comfort. Oh, and then I have trouble getting out of the bed when I do wake up because I don't want to disturb them. A friend once got a lot of my blood on him because of this. He wasn't amused. Another thing: their body heat bothers me something awful. Temperature is always something that's a problem for me. And they often complain about my insistence on having the fan on, which leads to it being off for the night. Which means I start hearing things. Then I start seeing things. Then I start feeling things... and basically slip into a massive fit of paranoia.
tl;dr: I prefer to sleep alone.

I'm fine with it, but sometimes I suffer from night terror (like once or twice a year if not less), so when it happens it can be sometimes uncomfortable (mostly if I didn't tell them beforehand I suffer from it).
Sleeping in a bed with others can be great, especially if it's cold.
When it's too warm though, it's horrible. My boyfriend stayed over in my *tiny* single bed, and I got so warm and unhappy, I just slept on the floor.
Easily the worst thing is when you're gassy, and you're sharing a bed (or even a room). Damn it, when I'm alone I can fart, and so be it, but with someone else (especially a friend staying over, lmao) I have to hold it in and get tummi rumbles, or leave to the bathroom.
DILEMMA.

Same here with me and Mr. Boyfriend (hell, I even agree with you about spooning sounding dirtier than it really is).Daystar Clarion said:
And yeah, I do enjoy sharing a bed (for the most part. I've shared a bed with relatives before and haven't really enjoyed it), but me and the boyfriend both have a habit of hogging the blankets, so I guess that makes it a bit less fun for the both of us.
This title is a tiny bit misleading...
Anyway, I don't like it. I sleep wild and like a lot of space and stuff.

I don't mind it it usually, as long as i'm on the wall side. I usually minimize the space i take up by sort of wedging myself into the corner formed where the bed meets the wall. it's surprisingly comfy and gives my sleepmate more room.
PROBLEM-SOLVING. CONSIDERATE. WHO WANTS TO SLEEP WITH ME.

Hell I'm married for years and still dislike sleeping in a bed with someone else. If it's time for hot hot Uzo lovin then it's great -- but if I'm busy at work, not getting enough sleep due to long hours at work (I work in a 24/7 IT role), the kid waking up early/not going to sleep; then goddamnit woman leave me alone. I'm in bed for two reasons - sleep or sex. I'm not here to allow my body parts to function as your goddamn hot water bottle.
I sleep easier with someone, or something, next to me. I used to have my cat sleeping on my bed back when she lived, and that would always help me fall asleep. Nowadays, I have real sleep troubles, though those are largely thanks to a friend of mine.. ^^ (I can't sleep before 2-3 in the morning now...

I can only sleep next to certain people. I prefer sleeping on my own but I have slept next to my best friend at his place heaps. Last time I was there we had 4 guys in the one double bed and had shaving cream wars while playing my friends WoW account.
On numerous occasions I've spent the night sharing a two-person bed with different people of non-romantic interest. These times I end up pretty much perfectly still on my stomach taking up as little space as possible. Which I guess is weird, but it just kind works out that way.
Spending the night in a one-person bed with a lady-friend is nice but uncomfortable at best.
