Trying to get a good night’s sleep when you’re coupled up is no easy feat.
You have to contend with a whole host of annoying habits and potential sleep disturbances: snoring, loud breathing, blanket-stealing and snoozing the alarm far too many times, just to name a few. Somehow, the spouses of Twitter are able to find the humour in the most irritating of circumstances.
Below, we’ve rounded up 33 hilariously accurate tweets about sharing a bed.
No matter how hot the night is, never underestimate how cold your wife’s feet will be when she puts them on your back.

Sleeping under separate blankets should have been the marriage advice everybody gave me a year and a half ago.

I found the couch blanket on the bed again. My husband must think I’m playing. Three strikes and you’re out, buddy.

Get married and spend the rest of your lives trying to figure out what to do with your arms while you sleep.

Snoring husband=seething rage
After 22 years my best marriage advice is don't marry someone who sets his two phones and alarm clock to go off at 5min intervals and then always hits snooze for at least an hour.

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes-
— Stephanie Ortiz (@Six_Pack_Mom) August 25, 2019
-the reality that you unknowingly married someone who insists on keeping the keyboard sound on as he texts in bed each night.
Woke up at 3am because I fell asleep in a recliner and my spouse went to bed and just left me there. So I crawled to bed and arranged the pillows to really constrict my airflow to make sure I snored the rest of the night.

If I figure out how to put this duvet cover on by myself this marriage is in serious trouble.

Hello did your husband get up at 1:30 am and loudly do the dishes and use kitchen appliances because he couldn’t sleep? Then you might be me and you might be entitled to compensation.

Shazam’d my wife snoring last night and it came up as Bob Dylan lol.

My wife texted me from the bedroom last night saying she ate crackers in bed and she needed help changing the sheets because crumbs were everywhere.
— Dadman Walking (@dadmann_walking) September 26, 2019
Turns out that was not an excuse to get me in the bedroom for sex. She literally ate crackers like our 4 yo.
My husband fell asleep without saying goodnight so I woke him up to say “you didn’t say good night to me, that’s bad luck!” In case you’re wondering what being married to me is like

Marriage is calling 8 inches of a California King size bed “the husband zone.”

I’m going to meet my husband at the finish line of his 10-mile trail race so I can tell him how I never fell back to sleep after his alarm went off this morning.

Being the first to fall asleep at night is such a marriage flex.
— Simon Holland (@simoncholland) August 12, 2020
Sometimes when my husband is sleeping soundly next to me I like to turn his phone's sound on and send him a text asking, "are you awake?".
— The Evolving Arm (@leftarmisme) December 19, 2020
Friend: My husband sets his alarm 30 minutes early so we can cuddle in the morning.
— Jawbreaker (@sixfootcandy) July 16, 2018
Me: My husband lets me sleep because he values his life.
Edging in marriage is just how much blanket your spouse allows you to have each night.
— Betty 🪡🫒 (@BoomBoomBetty) November 2, 2018
Every night my wife wakes me up and whispers the magic words, “You’re sleeping on my pillow, asshole”

Doctor: Okay, right after you lay down for sleep, ask your wife how her day was and that should fix it
My wife does this really cute thing where she talks in her sleep and tells me how much she loves me.

— Quilliam (@nyquills) June 28, 2019
Me: say no more 😏
*we swap sides and fall asleep immediately*
The husband & I just debated my "excessive" use of throw pillows on our bed, in case you wondered what 19 yrs of marriage looks like.
