Hello Darlin,

I think this is a great idea, when we are living together we seem to get to much of each other. Sleeping in separate bedrooms makes this so much more spicy and hot. You can each take turns visiting each other in your own bedrooms, kinda of like when you first dated. We must all have our own identity and alone time so that we can enjoy each other so much more. You Go more power to you.....

Classy Woman

Much of the reason we sleep in separate rooms is insomnia. Neither of us sleep all that well and spend alot of time getting up and down, in and out of bed. Both of us also snore and would wake each other up if we were able to fall sleep. Regardless I like the privacy and time alone from my spouse.

If you look at American history, couples have only slept together in the same bed for the last 50 years. Before that they were in separate beds or rooms.

Have you read about all the couples who finally admit that they are sleeping apart because they love each other not because they had a fight?
This post just reminded me of Rickie and Lucy Ricardo... but didn't they sleep in the same room? Anyway, you need to sleep so, everyone should stop harassing you about it. It's not romantic but whose romantic when they sleep anyway...

Each to their own. If sleeping in separate beds helps with the zzzzzzzzs, then why not.

I like knowing the hubster is next to me though. Nothing like rolling over and flinging your arm over the one person who really makes me feel safe. We did, however, just buy a mattress that allows him to toss and turn without me being bounced all over the place!

I'm not a very good sleeper. When having one of those nights I just transplant myself onto the couch with my duvet.

And if you go back another 100 years, it was 7 (or more) to a bed. No need for sex education in those days!

You've been watching too many period piece movies where the characters are from the upper class. The rest needed to stay warm at night and they didn't have servants to put wood in the fire.

I ALWAYS prefer sleeping together. But if the guy's a snorer, sorry - one of us is gonna end up in another room. I simply can't sleep with someone snoring beside me. Luckily my last 2 relationships have been with very quiet sleepers!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU. Because of you I will sleep in my bed with a smile, on my face. My soul mate and I are perfectly normal. This has been going on for the past 9 months, I thought we were weird or something. Not being clear on this truth, made me a little scared. -- Thankful for a restful sleep.

Am I the only crazy person in the world that likes snoring? My husband snores, but I find it very comforting. He is there. The noise kind of lulls me to sleep. Weird I guess...but I would miss it if he weren't there.

No, I can't deal with mouth noises, they are the worst. My husband didn't snore in a way that could lull anyone to sleep. It was grunt, grumble, gurgle, SNORK!!!!and any other gross sound you can think of. Apnea was a cause, and ambien only made things worse, and I couldn't even rouse him enough to roll over. We (the kids and I) used to call it his ambien-coma and we knew if there was ever a fire or need to escape we would have to sacrafice him. lol. On those nights I slept on the couch.

I think it is absolutely PATHETIC. No wonder, we are becoming a society of LOSERS,couples who do not even have sex anymore and do not even share a bed, why get married then if you are going to live such a miserable, pathetic life?

at the moment, we sleep together, but she snores REAL bad. it's like a freight train !!

so, one or two nights a week, we sleep seperately to make sure we both get a good sleep.

whether that'll progress to more nights as the relationship progresses, we'll have to wait and see.

i kinda hope not. it's nice to snuggle !
