Sleeping in a twin size college bed is difficult. They are uncomfortable and small to begin with. Then you take on the task of adding in an extra body. A seemingly simple task for some, is actually extremely difficult.
Below is a picture describing what the bed to space ratio actually feels like.
Sometimes you get too close to the edge of the bed and you feel bad moving because you know, there's a chance you are going to wake them up. However, you can't risk it because there's also a chance that you're going to face-plant.
I'm as much of a cuddler as anyone else and with the amount of space that the dorm beds allow you kind of have to be. Also, if you can manage the space you occasionally need it. That's why the good old "Hug and Roll" usually does the trick.
Sometimes you keep them up at night with your philosophical thoughts or vice-versa.
Talking isn't the only noise that you have to tolerate. You might even have to put up with some snoring. I swear some nights I'm actually sleeping with a bear.
You know how you lay there at night and thoughts keep you up? Well, staying with a significant other helps you talk out all those worries.
Now and then I squeeze into bed with homework and if your significant other is anything like mine, they will probably start showing you random videos from YouTube or start telling you funny stories about their day. Although, great distractions, it can sometimes be frustrating.
Whenever you've had a bad day or are stressing out about that exam coming up. Your significant other is there to comfort you before bed.
If you're lucky, they bring snacks to bed. Hopefully not the sticky kind or the kind that melts.
There comes a point in the night when you wake up shaking because you no longer have a blanket. You turn over to realize that your significant other is being the ultimate cover hog.
You are falling asleep with the one you love and that's the most amazing part.
You might get irritated sometimes and it might be difficult sometimes to fall asleep, but to see them sleep so peacefully; there is honestly nothing more precious than that. Maybe there are some issues even the California King size can't even fix.
