I have to agree with the previous poster with the spouse working overnights. My DW works at night and I'm on my own in bed five nights a week. Those two nights when she's home are a challenge in the bedroom. She's hot and I'm cold. She likes quiet and I sleep with the TV on. And so on...
hmmmm, I thought i replied to this thread... but, my grandfather has horrible snoring problems. He also has bed problems due to his cancer, stone, ect. I think separate bedroom's keep their sanity.
They've been together for 50 or more years and currently in their early 80's. I'm imaging sex isn't as important as having someone there for you in your last few years.
I'm an American woman and I can't sleep in the same bed with anyone.
In fact, dating was always difficult because I would leave at night and the man would assume I didn't want a real relationship. Well, that wasn't it at all, I just can't sleep. I like being at home in my own surroundings and waking up at my leisure.
Now, I am married and my husband snores god-awful. I am a light sleeper, but even if the snoring wasn't an issue, I'd still want my own space to sleep in. I am just more relaxed when in a dark room alone! Really, it's not that big of a deal and I am not sure why people make out like it is.
My wife is a sleeping junkie. She requires 10x more sleep than I do. She also works about 60 hours a week. We've been sleeping in separate beds since we got married. When we travel, we get a king size and its ok. But on a school nite, the ONLY way she would agree to sleep in the same bed is if I agreed to go to bed super early, which I am not capable of. I don't think it has affected our marriage either way. I think 2 masters are going to be the norm in the future.
I would LOVE to have a separate bedroom. We have enough bedrooms, but I've never asked that we sleep separately. But my husband is a painfully light sleeper, and we go to bed at different times (he, earlier than I). Also, when my husband is out of town or for some reason I have the room to myself, I love being able to get in the bed when I want to, watch tv and watch what I want, and then hit snooze as many times as I want in the morning.
I could definitely do with some extra space when I'm in bed with my SO cause he's a major bed-hog, but I just keep telling myself he takes over my side of the bed because he wants to be that close to me. However, if he ever decided he wanted to sleep in a separate bedroom, he better move in to that room because he's not coming back to my bed.
