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!

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

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.

No, but I wish we did.

Separate houses would be even better!

Yes we’ve for this for about 10 years now. We’re mid 50s. It’s the only option for getting restful sleep.

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.

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

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…

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.

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

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

Here, too, in our 50s.

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

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

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!
