Together 6 months. We don't live together but I spend most of the time at his place. Unfortunately he is a massive bed hog and a serial blanket thief. He likes to cuddle me to sleep and I don't mind being cuddled for a bit, but I cannot sleep with someone touching me. He also radiates heat like a furnace. At home I sleep on one side of the bed, he likes to sleep in the middle of the bed. He also steals all the blanket because he likes to wrap himself in it.
We sleep in a queen size bed and I bought a king size quilt hoping it would make a difference but he still manages to steal all of it and I am waking up several times during the night having to yank it away from him. When he is on my side and I have no space I ask him to move or I gently push him off me, but it just never ends. He also likes to sleep with 2-3 pillows and they end up on top of my head. He doesn't snore (thank god) but he is a restless sleeper.
I've decided we are going to have to use separate blankets, which has worked for me but it disappoints him because he likes to cuddle me and be close to me. I know he can't help it and he feels bad but the lack of sleep is starting to affect me. I have anxiety and trouble sleeping as it is and my meds won't even put me to sleep at the moment, and I don't want to have to take sleeping pills. I need solid, uninterrupted sleep to function. I prioritise sleep for my mental wellbeing and I'm not getting any of it. It's getting more difficult to not get angry at him. I'm so tired and grumpy.
TL;DR; : My boyfriend is a bed hog and a blanket thief and I'm not getting any sleep. What can I do?
