To think we should all sleep in separate rooms?

[Pipsquiggle]

Lighthearted thread.

My DH has covid - his 2nd bout in 6 weeks - therefore I am sleeping in the spare room and I am bloody loving it.

Better quality of sleep, having my own bed, not worrying if I am waking up DH when I go to bed, waking up naturally......... I could go on.

Just wondered if anyone else felt the same.

I know mega posh couples who live in castles / palaces have their own bedrooms and I totally get it.

I used to think this was odd but we too had covid recently and it was so good having the room to myself to be ill in.

Lots of couples sleep separately. Not sure we are designed to share a small space all night. Well, I'm definitely not anyway!

We’ve been together 27 years and rarely sleep in the same room. I’m a night owl and stay up much later so either sleep in the spare room or on the sofa.

I like separate rooms even though I don’t feel like I get poor quality sleep when I do share a bed with DH. Neither of us snore loudly or wake each other up, but it’s still so nice to have your own space. We don’t have a spare room at the moment, but when we move I will definitely have my own room.

Yes.

Yes! Much prefer a double bed all to myself! And it's 'clean' for twice as long, as I sleep on one half first, then the other half 😂 Not disturbed by anyone snoring either!

I'm not even convinced that we're meant to share a house, let alone a bed!! Other half and I love separately through choice and it's perfect. When (my) DCs were younger their dad and I lived together and after my divorce I didn't want to bring another man jnto their home space. They've both moved out now and I LOVE having my own space.

If you can manage seperate beds try seperate duvets. Game changer.

Dh and I always sleep in separate rooms if one of us is ill. It makes perfect sense!

Yep we've all got our own room here. Love it.

Yup, we have our room, and I have my room. That way he doesn't have to deal with the tossing and turning of me, and I don't have to deal with the snoring of he. And the cat can share her pain around.

I do go through for snuggles in the morning though.

We often sleep in separate rooms due to kids coming in ours. Lots of people don’t understand why we aren’t stricken with the children but honestly, i like sleeping on my own in one of the Children’s rooms. I’d like to say I have more space but the dog often gatecrashes but he doesn’t snore as loud as DH.

Totally this.

We have two spare rooms, and we keep the radiator switched off in one that we rarely use (never have enough visitors that both rooms are needed!)

One of my biggest pleasures in life is sneaking out of our bedroom when my husband starts snoring and getting into the cold bed in the cold spare room. I know it probably sounds mad but I get SO hot sharing a bed with him and I sleep like a baby once I’m in the cold room 😄

So yes, separate rooms are definitely the way forward. Sadly my husband disagrees, hence the charade of going to bed together each night, while waking up in separate rooms!

I am single and love having my own room.

If I was in another relationship I don’t think I’d ever share a bedroom again.

I could cope with it when I was young but now I’m more set in my ways!

Oh yes! Even better separate, next-door house

We have separate bedrooms, wouldn’t have it any other way, I love my bed to myself

I must be unusual in that I don’t sleep as well when my DH isn’t with me.

I have thought this for a while especially as I share my bed with dh and our dog. I often have broken sleep and am woken by dh (and dog) snoring loudly!

My idea of heaven is living somewhere that has a spare bedroom with an en-suite. Undisturbed nights with no snoring/grunting and not have to share a bathroom with 3 blokes (DH, DS22 and DS19). It would be bliss.

I don’t think we’re designed to sleep apart. I sleep better when me and DH are in bed together.

I’d love to do this but hubby sees it as a horrible idea wont even consider separate beds or even duvets

It is the snoring that kills me. Every night! And then he wonders why I’m not up for sex. Maybe when I’m not so tired, I will be! But will he do anything about it? No, because he’s not being woken up himself. Honestly, can snoring be used as grounds for divorce???

I search Rightmove fantasising about exactly this!

Ugh really wishing for a spare room...

My husband and I have our own bedrooms for sleep. Everything is in the master, clothes etc and we will join the other in the mornings at weekends and before bed, but sleep time is strictly separate rooms and we both sleep so well. Can’t imagine us sleeping together ever again!
