sharing a bedroom

dds (nearly 4 and nearly 2) share a room and have done for about a year. On the whole they seem to like it and I don't think either of them would like going to sleep on their own - but DD2 seems to permenently have a terrible cough and she will often wake dd1 up early in the morning. The problem is that DD2 gets really p'd off with her -she will shout at her and get all upset. I can understand it in a way but my concern is are we potentially damaging their relationship. I can't help thinking about couples where one (usually the bloke) snores and how harmful it can be, how resentment can build up over something that is essentially no-one's fault. Am I worrying over nothing? We've got the space to put them in seperate rooms (it would mean sacrificing a study), but we had hoped that sharing would be good for them.

that's meant to say that it's dd1 who gets annoyed

why not ask them? (Don't mean to sound so blunt)

my two sons orginally had own rooms but had to move them in together for a while when my brother came to stay for a month so they now share a room(1 aged 4 the other almost 2) & i was concerned about recent wakings disturbing them & wondered if i should move them back now my brother vacated the other room so I asked DS1 " do u like X sleeping in your room with you" he said "OH YES MUMMY IT'S JUST BRILLIANT"
So i asked "but he's room is all empty now he could go back?" he replied "NO I WANT HIM TO STAY HERE"
so my concerns went away...just a thought
