writes:I'm struggling to sleep when my boyfriend isn't with me. We've been together 3 years and we are completely in love. Recently I've not been able to sleep when he isn't in bed with me. We live separately at our parents house and I work part time and looking for work and he has just started a full time job. A few months back I had a miscarriage (was very early in pregnancy) and he was my rock. He used to drive me crazy with his snoring and how hot he would get but now I can't sleep without it. I feel safe feeling his arms around me and hearing him breathing and snoring. It's a real comfort. When he's not here I can smell him on my pillows and I feel like a have a huge hole in my heart. It sounds crazy but I just miss him so much and I'm so tired that I just want to be able to sleep! Anyone experienced the same thing or got any advice? Reply to this Question

 we went through this... before we moved in together we were LDR and I hated the big bed alone...
what helped me was having rituals.
at bedtime I would crawl into bed and call him... he was waiting for my call most nights and we would talk till I was sleepy enough to fall asleep...
to be honest now that we sleep in the same bed every night... I offer to sleep in the spare room on early mornings so I don't have to wake him and he gets NUTS... even if we are not touching he wants me in the bed...

I'm the same way but not.. physically if that makes any sense. My boyfriend and I have been long distance recently due to university but we've been together for several years before. What we do every night, even if there's a two hour time difference, is we talk to each other on Skype or facetime until we fall asleep. I've gotten so used to it being that way that I can't sleep without him talking to me until I do. I miss him lots and if we can't talk (maybe once in a blue moon) I can't fall asleep because I just feel too alone.
I would suggest maybe try talking to him before bed? You can skype, call, FaceTime (video is more personal :) , chat, text, etc.
I know it's not the same but if anything it's the closest to actually having him there. Goodluck x
