    When I get up to go to work, she goes back to sleep for about an hour or two, depending on her schedule that day.

    It's really nice.
    we do every single night too. Sometimes I feel like we are crazy because we talk/sleep together on skype EVERYDAY. it's nice to see someone else who does too

    We have a crazy time difference though and trying to sleep at similar times REALLY helps with the feeling of being so far away. We are 9 hours apart at the moment (when daylight savings changes we end up being 11 hours apart) it's very difficult to manage similar sleeping but we do it, I go to bed really late for an aussie (like between 3am-6am) and he goes to bed pretty early for someone from the UK (before 10pm). I get up around mid-day because i work afternoons/nights. He will wake up at around 4-5am and talk to be before he goes to work (if I'm not at work).

    It works really works for us, yes it's a bit crazy but it really helps with feeling closer and not on completely opposite timezones (which we basically are..) and we really wouldn't have the chance to talk during the week if we slept at normal times for our countries. We have a little joke that we live in 3 time zones; australian, uk and our own little timezone

      We don't fall asleep with the cam on. We just fall asleep to voice. It's rather soothing. Been doing that for the best part of a year now.

        We do that every night :3 It makes me really happy and we both sleep so much better because of it. Except one time, I was talking in my sleep, haha. He happened to hear me, so I was really embarrassed.

          We haven't done that, although that might be caused by her sharing a room with her brother atm. We have talked about it and as soon as she has her own room... this will be the order of the day (or should i say... night) for us. No doubt in my mind we will be doing that. :-) Well.. at least we have a 6,5 week summer together coming up

          Edit: We have seen eachother sleeping while for example being sick or during short day time naps, but not for whole nights yet. It will happen though :P

            I've accidentally dozed off during a call a few times, haha. We've never gone to sleep together over Skype though.

              I'd be too scared of like my laptop overheating/falling off the bed in the night/me crushing it. Also, his computer is in his living room, and he's 5 hours ahead, so this wouldnt work for us anyway :P If we could though, I'm sure we would

                We go to bed everynight together on Oovoo or Skype. Neither of us can sleep very well if we dont have the other. We know we are very lucky to be able to do this, and we never take it for granted.

                  I used to be like that I couldn't handle seeing him on webcam I used to get so sad i would lose it. But I figured not seeing him was just a painful. So now we see eachother at least for a few mins every night before bed. Then we turn the webcams off and go to bed using the voice call. It was hard the first few days but now I couldn't imagine not doing it. It has actually helped so much and I'm not getting as sad. You should try it.

                      My SO and I have tried a few times, but we always seem to get an internet issue some point during the night, so he gets to watch me asleep, but I never get to see him Tis always better to fall asleep together though, even if I fall asleep first, I still get to watch him in the morning

                        i would but she's 5 hours ahead of me, and that would waste alot of energy and money on her end doing that as she has a pay as you go electric bill thing

                          My SO and I sometimes text each other until we go to sleep, kind of gives the feel like we are going to bed together. (:

                            I have Skype on my smart phone. I use the WiFi connection in the house rather than my phone's data bundle and hook the phone up to a charger so it's powered all night. No laptops to worry about overheating and falling off beds. The earbud headset with mic makes it so much more comfy too.

                              Yeah, it's the simple things like this that helps us feel like we're very active and involved with each other.

                                He nearly always falls asleep after, well, umm, you know. Anyways, he'll dose off and I'll watch him until he wakes up and decides to call it a night. The other think we like to do is lie on our sides, heads on the pillow, facing our laptops so it is like we are lying next to eachother in bed. When we were together we used to fall asleep like that with our knees touching, holding hands. Sometimes one of us drifts off. I like it when he falls really deeply asleep and I can admire how peaceful he looks.
