When your the big spoon how do you keep your earthward arm from falling asleep?

Took me a while to figure out too! Turns out, it's easier for the smaller person to be a big spoon.
If you're larger than your partner, lay lower in the bed compared to your partner. Your face should be at their back. Pull that cushion down with you to help your neck. If they curl up a little, your arm can bend a bit forwards as it ends up at their legs, and it won't fall asleep at all.
Happy napping!

I’ve tried putting it under the little spoons pillow, but it always gets weird pins and needles numb and hurts by morning. Thanks!
You don't actually spoon the whole way, just up to the waist, leaving a bit of a gap between your chest and partner's shoulders.
Upper arm goes round partner as normal, lower arm rests elbow on mattress, forearm vertical across their back, hand holds their upper shoulder.
Plenty of contact still, but your arm doesn't die, you don't get their hair tickling your face all night and you get to use your own pillow.

Because of that I only spoon in space.

There’s nothing more romantic than falling asleep spooning, waking up and softly whispering to your partner “my shoulder’s dislocated, get off me.”
This is the dream

I don't understand. Can you draw a diagram?

Shut up and take my money

I've seen a few ideas like that posted before and people had always ended up calling it things like "the spider hole."
As a broad shouldered side sleeper, I would like to test it out, but I can only imagine what things would disappear down that hole...

What if you're the jetpack but your partner is gassy? Damn lactose intolerance.

That's where my bedside table gun would migrate to.

Pretty nice though, forget tableside, I bet you could stash a whole ass shotgun down there!

I read this in the "Watch those wrist rockets!" way and completely lost it.

That's like a metaphor for our whole relationship. I'm out. I'll meet you at the food court.

This would work if my bed were no lt an unconscious battle field for space; if no-man’s-land exists it will be eagerly taken up, any inch given is another inch towards my partners unconscious goal of making me fall off my side of the bed. Either that or they want to be close to me. But a good thought

Wait until she goes to sleep. Then get up to fix your arm, get chores done, etc, and go to bed at a more normal time

Along their back or between my legs. Something like this:
My dude, this picture has clarified nothing, lol.
