I'm curious........in my early and shorter term relationships we always fell asleep together. However it seems many couples in years long relationships/marriages sleep in separate beds etc.
I guess for a variety of reasons such as different schedules....etc.....some modern couples sleep alone. Myself I get elbowed too often to literally sleep with my mate.
I'm curious how many other couples sleep in different beds and/or rooms.
I've been sleeping by myself since I was born, and even as a toddler I never slept with my parents, so as a result I can't sleep with anyone beside me. It really bothered me when I shared a bed on family vacations, not being able to stretch or getting nudged or hit at night really bothered me. Don't get me started with people who snore! I don't know how it will be once I get married...maybe have seperate beds...I don't know.
If you can't get a good night sleep with your spouse, find someplace you can. It has nothing (or "shouldn't have anything") to do with your relationship. It mostly depends on whether you are a "light" or "deep" sleeper.
Maternal grandparents - Slept in separate bedrooms, grandfather slept on cot, grandmother slept on floor
Paternal grandparents - Slept on one bed in a gigantic bedroom, but the bed is larger than my bedroom
Parents - Slept in same bed when younger. Now sleep in separate bedrooms (mom prefers floor, dad on bed). Mom can't stand getting woken up in the AM and my dad talks a lot when he wakes up. They have their own bathrooms too.
Me: Sometimes sleep in same bed as husband. But now we sleep in same room on different beds.

Princess and the Pea syndrome? lol IMO while not disagreeing with you I think if you ride toward being either a hardcore snuggler or lose sleep at the very thought of losing sleep its best to stick with the same type in a relationship because it will become a sticking point.
