Since my wife and I have moved into separate bedrooms our marriage has improved 100% percent. We have our own space and can go to sleep on our own schedule. She is a night owl and I go to bed at 10 AM. I wake early and she likes to sleep in.

My man cave in the basement of our home is great too. It gives me a space to relax and be alone. I like my space! My wife agrees. Can you relate?

Yes same in my household. Husband retired on disability and I worked full time getting up at five. All night I was woken up to his jerking body movements. Snoring didn't help either. By early afternoon I was ready for a nap at work. When daughter moved out we had the extra room so we determined that would work for us. It was great going to sleep and sleeping through the night. He didn't need a man cave as he had the entire day to do what he wished. I think it's ridiculous for people to literally suffer from being sleep deprived when there's several other bedrooms you can go to on occasion or permanently.

While I can't relate, I think this can be a good solution for some couples. Do you have to schedule sex, or does it just happen at a satisfactory frequency?

I get people being on different schedules and guys (especially!) snoring...but, I really like the feeling of sleeping together and spontaneous sex. Even if it's not purely spontaneous (when sharing a bedroom) it beats walking down the hall, knocking on the door and asking!

Relationships are easy....roommates are hard. If your wife agrees with you, I congratulate you on finding what works for you!

Lucy and Ricardo slept in separate beds. So did their downstairs neighbors Ethel and Fred Mertz. A lot of marriages were saved by separate sleeping arrangements. I always said if I got married I would prefer separate bedrooms.

Another one who can't distinguish TV shows from reality? They network censors didn't allow it.

I'm single and I can relate. I move around (toss and turn) a lot in my sleep. It is something I have always done since childhood. I utilize an entire full size bed, the only thing that might overcome this issue would be selecting a king size mattress. I've slept in them in hotels and they are so much bigger than I'm accustomed to.

I suppose if I ever reached a cohabitation stage in a relationship, we would be sleeping in separate rooms after less than a week.
