You know those first few months of dating a new person when all of the orgasms you’re having and the excitement of new love are fueling you through the day even though you got four hours of sleep because you were up all night getting said orgasms? Yeah. That doesn’t last forever. Eventually, you return to wanting 7 or 8 hours of sleep a night. And sometimes, the person you love the most is getting in your way! Here are sleep arguments every couple has.

Tucked or untucked

You know what people tend to find each other and fall in love? Those who like loosely fitted sheets so they can kick their feet around at night and those who like to be sealed into their bed like sardines in a damn CAN! You can see why that would present a problem.

Food in bed

Okay this isn’t technically a sleep-related argument so much as a general bed argument, but every couple argues over whether or not food can be in the bed. Or, they argue over what type of food can be in the bed. My boyfriend is dead set against any sugar-coated candy within twenty feet of the bedroom. So I buy Starburst. Sacrifices, sacrifices.

Phones

You like to sleep with your phone on silent so you’re not woken by stupid drunk texts from friends at 3am. But what’s the point if he leaves his phone’s ringer on? He says he leaves it on in case of emergencies. You say that anybody who wakes you two up at 4 am deserves to have a fatal emergency. You overreacted—you’re tired. I get it.

Snuggling

To snuggle or not to snuggle when you sleep—that is an argument that has troubled couples since they were sleeping in caves. You want to snuggle, he says he can’t sleep with somebody touching him, you take it personally, he snuggles you to avoid the fight but then he really doesn’t sleep and is grumpy the next day. You will continue this argument the next night.

An episode or an hour

You’re right on the cusp of having enough time to watch an episode of your favorite show together. If you skip it, though, you can get in an extra hour of sleep. He wants the show, you want the hour of sleep. He gives up, but he huff and puffs for the next hour, complaining he isn’t tired yet so neither of you get that hour of sleep.

The blanket

You don’t have enough blanket and you swear he as it all. He doesn’t have enough blanket and he swears you have it all. If you just had a bird’s eye view of the bed, you’d see you somehow shifted the blanket so one corner is between your pairs of feet, and one is between your heads, and you’re both grasping at air on the sides. Nobody has enough blanket.
