Separate Bedrooms, Not Such A Bad Idea

I've also heard things about men benefiting more from sleeping with a partner than women do, so there's also that. I don't mind sharing a bed with a significant other--I'm a pretty heavy sleeper--but I do tend to overheat, so we can't really be touching while sleeping. It all depends on the couple and their preferences and habits.

I am the lightest sleeper ever. I swear, my dog licks himself at night and it wakes me up-I yell at him and complain and get super cranky, and my husband hogs the covers-I feel like I never get any sleep! But I cannot imagine, for one night, sleeping in the guest room. i need him by my side.
When he occaisionally works overnight, I toss and turn and cannot sleep without him there. (ha-with OR without him!)
It may work for some, but I want that body next to me.

My husband had a horrible snoring problem & we slept in separate rooms off & on for two years. I am a very light sleeper & an early riser. His doctor finally recommended a sleep disorder clinic & after two visits, he was diagnosed with one of the worst cases of sleep apnea they had ever seen. He has a breathing machine now & it has made a huge difference. Our guest room is actually being used for guests, not me.

My partner and I sometimes sleep in separate rooms as he snores and I'm sometimes a light sleeper. But without fail, when I awake in the morning I look forward to climbing back into him for a morning snuggle. It's the best of both worlds....I sleep better and still have the comfort of being with him.

my parents have two beds pushed together. One is a king size and the other a twin. Both my parents have different comfort levels so it works for them but the beds never have a gap. I don't think i could sleep in a separate bed while married but maybe if i was engaged and living with my fiance or in a relationship where i wasn't married but living together separate beds or rooms would be good to keep us from engaging in sexual activity before the wedding night.

my husband and I sleep in separate beds, one because I like to read for a while and second because he has sleep issues. At first I was a little hurt but now I don't mind at all. We do our cuddling etc and then kiss goodnight.He gets a better nights sleep and I can read all night if I want.

wow... i'm just amazed that so many people have sleeping problems, haha.

All our bedrooms are full, but there are times I sleep on the couch (I'm short and my hubby is too tall for it!). He has a really bad snoring problem and I am a light sleeper. I also get up very early to study for my graduate courses and I don't want to bother him. How much we love each other has everything to do with it. We love each other enough to want the other one to have a good night's sleep. Neither one of us functions well on little sleep. Some of these folks who say true love is stronger than snoring, or thrashing around have, imho, a idealistic view of love that won't stand the test of time.

I agree with Heather...having separate bedrooms is laughable at best. I bet any couple that has separate bedrooms have under lying problems in their relationship. Blame it on snoring or hogging the bed.....but going to bed tonight is a HUGE thing in a relationship. What DO you have with your spouse if you can't even stand to be in the same room as them?

I think that it is fine to have seperate rooms. My boyfriend snores loud and my bed is so uncomfortable and it hurts my back. Because of this I often take the couch. I get a little me time and I like to watch TV late. He has to go to work earlier and this way I don't get woke up because he makes a loud of noise. I will sleep in the bed about 3 nights a week because my boyfriend gets upset. Eventually I will buy a new bed when I can afford one but until then I will take the couch.

thers no thing is better than ,the one is alone.seperate in his own room.no one disturbe him and he is in good mood

I agree my wife and I sleep in seperate bedrooms. we have our date night. then we go to our seperate rooms.

My husband and I have had seperate bedrooms for a long time. He has great visiting priviledges and we still share all of our closets together in my room. I did not want to live the seperate live and this is perfect. We start and end our day together. (and lots of times in between)

Good for you Jill, but it is different strokes for different folks....

snoring is a sign of sleep apnea. when I was married, currently I am single, we slept in a sleepcomfort bed, you know the one that is full of air and ajustable, king sized or queen, you have 2 mattresses and I never felt my wife move. I get a ggod nights sleep cause I can adjust the air in my mattress to fit my sleeping style.

Sleeping together again after a night or two apart is bliss. Sleeping apart after a night or two together is also bliss. The love we have for each other is totally separate from the rest we need in order to be at our best for each other.

my boyfriend and I sleep in different rooms because he snores so loud that I can not sleep. We have been doing that for about a year or so. I really want him to go to the doctor about it but he wont. So unitl he does we are sleeping in different rooms. I love him alot but i have to work at 6 in the morning and I need my sleep too.

never! i sleep better with my husband by my side. I sleep horribly when he isn't there. Might as well live separate lives if you are going to start sleeping in different rooms.

I would love to have seperate beds, but I think my hubby would see it as an insult. I sleep so much better when we aren't together. I actually get to keep the blankets on me and don't get too hot in the summertime. However, he sure does keep me warm in the winter!

*all I can say is suppose the "man" asks to move you in another room* so he can sleep, because "you" snore* All Heck would break loose*-- The only way I will sleep apart from my husband was if he was in the grave*- and I am a light sleeper....
