To want separate beds

[Gigigigigi]

I’ve been living with my DP for almost a year and I just can’t understand how people can share a bed and get a good night’s sleep.

We have full on arguments about the sides of the bed and going ‘over’ sides. We are not big people but it feels there isn’t enough room. Even worse, his breathing when he sleeps drives me up the wall. It’s so nasally and keeps me up.

We are now thinking we would be happier with separate beds, even separate rooms. Is that weird? Can a happy couple sleep on separate beds?

We have kingsize bed. DH has a light double duvet and I have a superking duvet. DH says I sleep like a sausage roll.

We have a king at home and a super king in the holiday home. The super king is so much better than the king. When we have to sleep on a standard double we find it incredibly disturbing to our sleep as we wake each other up with our sleep movements.

Super king all the way- you won’t know yourself.

Just beware that once you get used to the space, it can be a shock to the system and if staying in a smaller bed subsequently you may, ahem, roll over and fall out. Many times.

Got myself a nice black eye from downsizing.

DH likes to sleeptalk and move around the room. He also rotates so much though the night that he pulls the sheet off his side of the bed. This morning I feel like I pulled an all nighter... We are really looking forward to the dsc visiting their mother this weekend. Sleep deprivation has made me so ill that I am unable to work
