Sleeping arrangements w/DH

It has always struck me as kind of strange - however in the past couple of years DH starting snoring more and like others have said, I'm a light sleeper. (To be fair, I probably snore worse than he does but it doesn't both him like it bothers me.) It's like a race to see if I can can to sleep before he starts, and I've also become addicted to Melatonin because of it. However, when I was pregnant with #2 (we have a four month old) and started sleeping horribly the second half, he basically started sleeping in the guest room and I must say, it was bliss. But now we're back together again and I'm back on the Melatonin. Sigh. Oh, and I'm also not afraid to jab him, push him, etc. to get him to wake up enough so he'll flip over to face the other way. Good times.

"CBS News said, and now a housing survey suggests more than 60 percent of custom homes will have two master bedrooms by 2015."

I do not see how sleeping in separate rooms can be good for anyone's sex life. What do you do, make an appointment?

"Hey hun, want to have sex tonight? Your room or mine?"

There is no room for spontaneity, especially if you have kids. It is not like you initiate sex in the kitchen while the kids are doing their homework at the table. Once they finally get to bed, you walk off to your separate bedrooms and see each other in the morning. It is like being housemates.

Yes, I hate the arrangement if you have not noticed.

Friends of ours have separate bedrooms. I'm not sure why but I don't think it has anything to do with snoring or different sleeping schedules. They do not have children and seem very much like roommates.
