Sleeping over Skype (on the phone)?

[alittlemind]

I'm kinda curious about how many other couples end up sleeping on skype together... Just kind of wondering if it's something you plan, or if one of you (or both) just falls asleep while talking?
Another thing... do you leave skype on all night? Or does one of you turn it off or it turns off by it self?
(These questions can also apply to being over the phone. :P )

My boyfriend and I aren't even LD yet, but we tried it out the last two nights and it got me thinking about others. :P

We've fallen asleep over the phone before and eventually hung up. I wish we could fall asleep over Skype but he doesn't have Wi-Fi yet.

We always sleep with Skype on... It mostly turns itself off over night though

Wow, I wish we could do that. My SO has to go to an internet cafe for Skype, so it's not possible for us to do that. It's sounds so sweet though

Before my SO got a webcam, he borrowed a microphone from a friend and we would voice chat, sometimes in bed on the phone. We would talk until we got tired and then either say good night, or he would hang up when I fell asleep, because he had a desktop and could not sleep while on skype.

Now that he has a webcam, we skype almost every night as I'm going to sleep. He waits until I've already fallen asleep, then hangs up and finishes his work for the day (his choice) and then goes to bed. I have my laptop set to go to sleep after an hour of inactivity, so it just turns itself off (which also closes skype, if it's open, but it rarely is after that amount of time) and I just sleep with it next to my pillow. Sometimes I wake up when he hangs up because of the noise it makes, so I'll put my computer to sleep then and put it on the floor.

The few days he was allowed to sleep with his laptop (his mom doesn't allow him to now because she's a technophobe), we slept through the night with skype on and it felt so good to wake up and see him there! Skype would usually hang up on us, though, so that was rare.

We did this every night for about 10 months. My SO even slept with headphones on every night! It really helped us, I loved waking up in the night and seeing him there and hearing him breathe, and waking up together. We had it set up so that Skype automatically answered calls, so if it broke in the night and one of us noticed, we would just call the other and it would reconnect. We turned the sounds off so the ringing etc wouldn't wake us up.

While we were LD we slept on Skype each and every night. I LOVED IT!

We haven't tried this yet, but being we both have iPods (with the front cameras) and Skype, we hope to try it in the future. (PC Skype wouldn't be feesable as I have a desktop.)

We used to do it a lot before we closed the distance. Now that we're LD again, I'm hoping we can still continue to fall asleep together but it's difficult as he doesn't have a computer of his own - he borrows his moms.

Me and Mike fall asleep every night over the phone, a lot of the times you cant even hear anything because the phone either falls away from us or something. The idea of him being there makes me feel so much better. I have trouble sleeping without him.

Me and my SO do this during holidays and weekends. Usually, he sleeps and I watch him while i do something else on my laptop and I hear his breathing. It's marvelous. When I sleep he also leaves his iPod on to watch me and listen to my snore (lol) throughout the night. We have a 15-hour time difference though so it's really hard sometimes.

My LDB used to hate the idea of doing this. Every time I asked him if we could fall asleep together on Skype, he would say no and that it causes screeching noises, waking him up, etcetc.
But lately, we've been doing it almost every night. Usually he falls asleep mid-conversation and just forgets to turn Skype off so I just let him be while I do my own thing and then eventually fall asleep too.
When I wake up in the mornings, the Skype call is usually ended due to bad connection, or him waking up earlier and turning it off.

I find that falling asleep together really helps me fall asleep easier at night. It's also like a mental countdown for me. Every night we fall asleep apart is one day closer to falling asleep together!

I wish I could do this with my SO but when I go to sleep he has pretty much just woken up so it's not really possible for us, well not in a very practical way. But a couple of times he has fallen asleep infront of Skype as we've been talking and I left Skype on and could hear his breath as he was sleeping, on the other side of the world. It was a great comfort and I would like to do it more often.

We do this allllll the time xD
LOL but like we have competitions to see who can stay up the longest though o_- (Until we come to a truce and fall asleep together xD)

Well like the last time this was posted, I'll be the odd one out and say absolutely not! Both my SO and I find it extremely creepy. We talked about it and were glad we both agreed. I mean no offense to anyone else, it's very clear I'm the freak.
