Sleeping with a sheet-hogging partner can cause issues in your relationship.You can sleep in comfort by learning different techniques to get your sheets back, talking to your partner about blanket theft, and adjusting your bedding so both of you have plenty of covers.
Step 1: Put part of the sheet under you.
Tucking the side of the sheet under your body will help you sleep.It will be difficult for your partner to pull it all the way off you.
Step 2: Put the sheet under the mattress.
If your partner is stronger than you, try to keep both sides of the sheet under the mattress.You can both sleep in this pocket.Special products can be purchased to protect your sheets.Check with your partner if you want to try sleeping in tucked-in sheets.
Step 3: Take care of your partner.
Pull the blanket over both of you when you are close to each other.It will be difficult to take it from you if you are close by them all night.
Step 4: Pull the sheets back.
If you don't have a blanket or sheets, try tugging them back until you're covered.If you want to avoid waking your partner up, this is a good option.
Step 5: Get up and put the blanket back together.
If your partner has taken too much of the blanket for you to gently pull back, you may need to get up.Get back into bed after unfurling it.If you whip the blanket off the bed, it will wake your partner and cause an argument.
Step 6: Wake your partner up.
Sometimes people don't know they are hogging the sheets.If your partner takes all the sheets, you may have to wake them up and tell them you can't sleep without covers.Try telling your partner that you have all the sheets.Is it possible that I have some back?Many people are grumpy when they wake up in the middle of the night.When you tell your partner about the stolen sheets, try to be calm and gentle.
Step 7: During the day, talk to them about it.
If blanket-stealing is a problem, sit your partner down and talk about it during the day.It will help emphasize how important this is to you if they remember a conversation in the daytime.Tell them you are having trouble sleeping, and ask them to only use half of the blanket.It's not necessary to make it a formal talk.You usually end up with all the covers at night, so try something like that.It's making it hard for me to sleep, would you mind trying to keep your half of the blanket?
Step 8: If they are comfortable at night, ask.
People steal sheets because they are too cold or uncomfortable.Ask your partner if they are comfortable at night.Change the bedding or turn the furnace up before you go to bed if they are not.
Step 9: Use different sheets.
If you can get each of you a separate sheet, that would be great.The second set of bedding can be kept in the linen closet or under-bed storage until it is time to go to sleep.
Step 10: Purchase a bigger bedding set.
It's possible that your covers are too small for both of you.If you sleep in a queen size bed, get a king size set.
Step 11: Get a small bed.
People steal sheets because they are too far away from their partner.A smaller bed might be a good solution if it is an option.It may be difficult to steal sheets if you sleep in a queen bed.
Step 12: Try to sleep alone.
Separating beds is a last resort if you can't get comfortable and no other solution works for you.You do not have to sleep in separate rooms.Push the beds close to each other.
