You Will Need

  • Extra blankets
  • A poking finger
  • Consideration
  • Communication
  • Nasal strips (optional)

How To Share a Bed: Choose sides

Step 1: Choose sides

Choose sides of the bed that you will always sleep on. That way, there’ll be no fighting it out before bedtime.

How To Share a Bed: Have extra blankets

Step 2: Have extra blankets

Have extra blankets on or near the bed in case you or your bed buddy hogs the comforter in the middle of the night. Then no one will be left out in the cold.

How To Share a Bed: Stop snoring

Step 3: Stop snoring

Stop your bed buddy’s snoring by poking them with your finger a few times. This usually causes the person to stop without waking them up and gives you time to get back to sleep before it starts again.

If snoring is ongoing, try nasal strips on the snorer or earplugs on the partner.

How To Share a Bed: Have consideration

Step 4: Have consideration

Have consideration for your mate. If they like to go to bed early, don’t stay up late with your laptop or the TV on. Or go in another room and tiptoe into bed later.

How To Share a Bed: Communicate

Step 5: Communicate

Begin an open dialogue with your mate about any bed-related problems. Chances are, they’ll have some, too, and you can work out any differences before your next nighty-night time.

How To Share a Bed: Snuggle up

Step 6: Snuggle up

Snuggle up with your mate. Snuggling and spooning are the best things about sharing a bed.

One poll revealed 67 percent of respondents said that their significant other snored.
