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 would love separate rooms. I know of a few couples who have this set up, I’m very envious!

My sister and her husband have separate rooms , it’s quite funny hers looks like a teenage girls room with loads of clutter and her husbands is sparse . We have 2 spare rooms but still sleep together , I quite enjoy prodding him to stop him snoring !

Back in NZ, we had a sleepout with its own bathroom, and I'd go out in that if I was pissed off, or he was snoring. Often in the middle of the night, freezing cold. But the quiet. It was bliss!

Now I'm working from home it makes sense for me to have the large king size bed/room as an office & DH to have the box room to sleep in

It’s one of the questions asked on an online dating site I tried a trial on.

Can’t remember if it was separate rooms or separate beds but whichever it was it boils down to the same thing, a better nights sleep (or an even better nights sleep lol)!

So it must be a very common wish!

I personally don’t like sharing a bed, while I am sleeping. Or a bedroom, but everyone’s different. (I’m pretty introverted, touch sensitive and an overwhelmed single parent. My views may not be typical, but they remain valid. I’d expect any partner to at least compromise on them, but depending on whether I am getting regular sleep and alone time at that point in my life, it might be a dealbreaker. It would be right now!)

Me and my husband sleep in different rooms
We sleep better

I would hate to have to go back to sharing a room with my husband. we are sleep incompatible in every way. I like a bit of light, he needs eil nice, I like background noise, he likes silence, i like cold, he likes heat. I'm a wriggler, he is a very light sleeper.

Sharing a room, let alone a bed would be a complete disaster.

God, yes! DH and I sleep in separate rooms. Ostensibly because he sleeps with one child and I with the other. But god I don’t miss his snoring and fidgeting. When the kids finally sleep through in their own rooms I can’t see us moving back into the same room.

No, don't like here. Dp is away at the moment and I miss his snoring

Eil nice?
My autocorrect is clearly pissed because that should have been darkness.

We have had our own bedrooms for years. Love it - have my own space and we both sleep so much better. He snores terribly and I’m a light sleeper.

@PinkPlantCase me too

Much prefer bed to myself. DH snores terribly and has been in the spare room for months as I've been co-sleeping with my baby. He's back in now and I can't stand the snoring or extra person in the bed !!

I don’t think we’re designed to sleep apart

Oh, so you never got a good sleep in the 20 odd years before you met them?

I'm the same as other pp's. We both snore, also dh works shifts so it makes sense to sleep in separate rooms. It's bliss.

Once we wrapped our heads around the antiquated notion that married couples have to sleep in the same bed every night, regardless of having a crappy sleep, forevermore, it's been bliss.

I think people think this equals no sex, but this is not true at all. And I would say its improved our sex life as I don't have to go ro bed early to try and get to sleep before dh, he doesn't wake me up at 4.30am getting ready for work etc.

We sleep in separate rooms due to DH's snoring. He even upgraded his mattress in the spare room once it became "his" room.

I’m single but will never share a bedroom again my dogs and I are fine

@Huckleberries73 me too. Well minus the coffee bit on work days, no time

You cannot beat separate bedrooms, so much better. Wonderful. You do get haters saying oooh and thinking less love, but it’s a fab nights sleep and no waking to snoring etc.

I haven't slept in the same room as DH for about 15 years (married for 24). I drive him mad as I talk in my sleep (other people have confirmed this!), he snores like a warthog, I like a winter duvet all year round and he only likes a thin sheet on, I like the cats on the bed and he doesn't. I would never go back to sharing a room. If we stay in a hotel. I take earplugs but insist on twin beds.

I was widowed three years ago and one of the plusses is having a king size bed all to myself. My husband kept me awake snoring, and although I miss him, it's bliss sleeping by myself.

@Huckleberries73

Nope, I sleep better when we are both there. We go to bed together, we wake up together and drink coffee in bed before we start our day with cuddles, Pathetic and lovely and I wouldn’t change it for the world!

Us too. Lovely to snuggle up when still half asleep. He only snores occasionally and poking him to make him turn over stops it. If he snored horrendously then we would definitely have to rethink as I cannot cope without a proper night's sleep anymore

My DH works away 4 nights a week and despite his various annoying sleep habits I sleep better when he's in bed with me.

Another one here who sleeps in separate room from DP. We both much prefer it, couldn’t imagine having to share. He still brings me a cup of tea every morning so all is as it should be.
