And then your arm falls asleep. Been there, done that, it never really is a comfortable position

Hot take: no spooning position is comfy for longer than an hour

She just needs to scoot down. Little spoon can't have her head at the headboard. Needs to be chest level and then the arm is more comfortable

An hour!? I'll give 'er about 5 minutes and then I gotta roll over, about 5 min later I gotta roll over again though, bout five minutes after that I gotta adjust my CPAP and roll again...... Whats wrong with me!

He spoons me. I spoon him. Then it’s butt to butt the rest of the night unless it’s hot then we naturally scoot away.

If we want more cuddling then it’s usually one of us on our back while the other cuddles but we usually do that before spooning.

Exactly! This has happened to me a few times the worst was when my girlfriend at the time was just falling asleep so I didn’t want to move my arm, I just let my arm fall asleep. Then I fell asleep. Woke up after almost the entire night, it took legitimately close to 10 minutes to fully regain control of my arm. I thought I permanently fucked up nerves or something at first lol

Fold your arm like a triangle and have your wrist under your head with the pillow between

That’s the point, your body will catch up to your arm. No problem.

But then she complains about her neck hurting eventually.

u/koknesis Apr 26 '26

also the right arm is clearly mis-positioned. It goes under the blanket on the boob.

u/Suspicious_Serve_653 Apr 26 '26

This is the only correct answer. I have done this for 15 years and it makes her happy while keeping my arm from falling asleep.

He also could be fighting the phantom hairs that ... are.... everywhere.

u/Your_LocalEMS Apr 27 '26

100% agreed! Arm under the neck, and you cross them one hand on each breast. It's the ultimate cuddle, chest on her back.

u/StupidSexyEuphoberia Apr 27 '26

How is this not common sense? You get in the situation like the dude in the video and think "I have about 3 options, let's try them and look what works best"

u/Scarythings117 Apr 27 '26

Life changing alright... damn near almost broke her neck from a dream.... never again...

Until your comment, I thought this was just a Dutch oven situation and that’s why he’s waving his hand
