litheraI realized something when chatting with an friend yesterday.
I don't like sleeping alone.
Now, there is part of this statement is obvious. I'd much rather have someone I love sleeping in bed next to me than to be curled up with my body pillow. That one doesn't take too much to figure out.
There is more to it, though. I don't like sleeping when there is no one else in the same place, when there is no one else around. I never realized how much comfort I took in there merely being someone else present. I'd probably never wake someone up because of anything, but it is very soothing for me to know that there is someone there.... just in case.
It's been very subtle and it doesn't keep me from sleeping, but I've noticed a faint unease or discomfort when I go to sleep every so often in my apartment. I just don't want to go to sleep. It's nothing paralyzing, but its something I didn't actively realize until yesterday.
