To love sleeping alone..?

[DippyDooDahDay]

I just love my bed. So much that it stops me from wanting a future relationship..I don't think I can share it! The only exceptions are my very young ds if they sneak in for an early morning cuddle..

Yep. Love sleeping alone. DH gets up at 6am and the hour that I have to myself after that is bliss. I'm sure I get better quality of sleep in that hour compared to the rest of the night!

After 6 years living many miles apart, we finally got our act together and my slight nagging fear was that giving up my double bed that I had at my place would be dreadful.

We decided to go for a big bed, super kingsize as DP is tall and long legs. It makes a big difference. Neither of us move around in bed, well not when we're sleeping anyway but he has a bit of a snore.

But the joys outweigh the downsides so on balance I would sooner sleep together than apart.

Having said that, I'm sprawled out tonight as he is away until Thursday! Naice.

Love our separate rooms - have done this for the last 5 years. DP snores very badly and I am a really light sleeper.

I am now wondering whether it would be very wrong to show DH this thread and then gently point him in the direction of the spare bedroom?

Yes I've slept separately since my DC were born. Couldn't go back now.

I love it when DH is away for work, means i only have to share my bed with the cat. Who, given that she is only a year old and quite small, can take up amazing amounts of mattress!

when I was younger it didnt bother me too much but now I dont think I could even get used to co habiting again, let alone co sleeping.
Good sleep is vital, fundamental, without it everything else falls apart, I wont sacrifice it for anything or anyone

Separate duvets is the secret to a long and happy marriage

Dh likes to make like a sausage roll and I like to stick varying limbs out. If we have to share then he clamps and rolls so I end up with nowt

Ooh this thread has made me feel like less of a freak! Dh and I have separate bedrooms for sleeping. We go upstairs together, have a cuddle etc together and then go our separate ways. Works well for us. When we do have to share a bed, separate duvets is the way to go

Do you have matching duvet covers.

Oh I adore sleeping alone and would love dp and I to have separate rooms. I love him of course, but he has irritating bed habits and I'd far rather he wasn't near me when he deploys them!
If he comes home drunk, I can hear his snores from upstairs when he's fallen asleep on the sofa. I happily leave him there!

Nah, mix and match duvet covers. But only cos the sheet purchasing predates the individual diverts.

My dh worked last night and I was looking forward to the bed to myself. Instead my 5 year old ds was in with me and he sounds just like my dh when he's asleep.

dp works nights so I usually get the bed to myself at least 3 nights a week, I always have my best sleeps on those nights. BUT he has worked 5 nights this week, tomorrow is the 6th, and I am starting to miss the snoring and farting and chucking of his heavy limbs all over my body

I'm in the minority. I can't sleep alone. I need to be cuddled up to DH to fall asleep and stay asleep.

In youth I loved sharing my bed and having someone to cuddle but now I am old and have slept alone for so long, I'm just so glad when I get insomnia or a cough that I don't have to worry about keeping someone else awake.

Yanbu. Dh is away for 2 weeks so not only do I get the bed to myself, I don't cook dinner except for the kids, the washing pile has halved and I get full possession of the tv remote. Love him to bits but do enjoy his business trips......

Not shared a bedroom in years... Many plus sides including much better sleep. But then we don't have the automatic intimacy of bed sharing so we have to remember to be intimate. Which can sometimes emphasize the friendship side to the relationship a bit too much!

I also love sleeping apart, we both get a much better night's sleep.

I am exactly the same I loathe the idea of sharing a bed now! I love my bed

I love it, love it, love it. But then I wouldn't share a house with anyone ever again, I like my own space too much.

I do like the cuddles and other 'benefits' of sharing a bed with DH......but am I the only one who sleeps with a man who radiates heat at a rate that is just unbearable in the summer although useful in the winter ?

In early summer, I deal with it by having the bedroom windows open- which are on my side. Then moth season starts and that becomes impossible. So I then resort to an electric fan placed on the chest of drawers in the bow window and direct it at me.I let him have the duvet in the summer and sleep just under a sheet.

No Lulu, you're not alone. I love DP to bits but he is like a radiator. Last night, I was reading in bed, fan on and he was watching telly. Then he moved his arm so it was touching my arm! I had to say 'just don't touch me' which me sound so mean but I couldn't bear it!

We also have separate duvets mainly because I like a thicker tog than him.

We can't have a duvet higher than 4.5 tog, even in the winter because of his heat loss. I know what you mean about getting snappy about it. I shove DH away in the middle of the night in the summer when he cuddles up. Or say ' Get off my side of the bed' - he even heats the mattress and the heat creeps across to me.

We have separate bedrooms with visiting rights

He is an early bird & I am a night owl. Also, we both snore & disturb each other. So our arrangement works well for us & we manage to stay happily married which we wouldn't if I had to put up with his snoring!
