| I tried to gently suggest this, telling DH his folks did this. His come back eas, “ Yeah. When they were okd.” We’re old, 63. He keeps vetoing thus. I wonder hos manu coupkes do sleep/have separate rooms. Gwenth Paltrow has a separate house from her husband! |

| 40s and do this - recommend. Different sleep preferences. |

| Also 40s and we do this. I’m a really light sleeper and it’s always been an issue for me to get a full nights sleep in a shared bed |

| No, but I wish we had an extra bedroom when someone was sick or trouble sleeping. Its the sofa for one of us. |

| This was one of the BS excuses my ex cited for the dead bedroom & affair. |

| Yup. When we first moved in together about 25 years ago my one requirement was a 2 bedroom apartment so I had somewhere to go when the snoring started. Now we are both light sleepers with different sleep schedules so the arrangement is permanent. |

| We have separate rooms too. It started when the kids were little so they wouldn’t wake both of us up but i vastly prefer it because my husband is a loud and chaotic sleeper. I think he wishes we slept in the same bed but accepts that I need to sleep. If he cared that much he’d go finally do that sleep study his doctor and I have been on him about for years… |

| Snoring due to sleep apnea or might be due to different work schedules. |

| Yes. We have since mid 40s. I so appreciate waking up feeing rested. My husband is a teeth grinder and active sleeper. I got punched a few times. Not fun. |

No, but I wish we did.
Separate houses would be even better! |

| Mid 40s and do this regularly but not permanently. Maybe 3 nights out of the week due to differing schedules or illness or something like that. I, the female, would vastly prefer it to be permanent because I am a very light sleeper and dealing with perimenopause sleep issues and just prefer the whole bed to myself. My husband is offended and prefers closeness though. |

| We do. Very different sleep schedules and we both snore. |

I so wish we could do this. DH snores and I have night sweats. Separate would be better for both of us. But we don’t have the space. Maybe once the kids go to college. Must get them better mattresses!
