We don't have 2 beds right now so there is no option for that really. I wouldn't mind it sometime though since he is a blanket stealer despite the fact he says I steal it!
Yeah we do that too. Esp when one of us has really bad GAS and it's suffocating. :) Also, 2 beds works perfectly if you're fighting. lol.
My SO is gone 2-3 nights a week so I get the seperation I need. But he has gone to the guest bed when he hasn't been feeling well just so that he doesn't bother me or get me sick.
We don't have two beds, but even if we did, we probably wouldn't. We were in a LDR for 4 years and slept apart long enough :p Plus neither of us are particularly obnoxious sleepers.
The only time we don't sleep in the same bed is when one of us is really, really sick! He's a trooper for sleeping with me though because I talk in my sleep AND steal the covers... maybe in 5 years we'll be sleeping in different beds because of my sleep antics! haha
I've always had a hard time sleeping with other people, even when I was on family vacations when I was younger and had to share a hotel bed with my sisters. We don't live together yet but when FI stays over, I end up moving to the couch a lot of the time because I have such a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep. I'm sure 2 beds will come in handy when we're married! lol
I travel for work so much. I hate every day that I am away from my FI.
We arent living together right now for some personal reasons before the wedding....but...when we were we would sleep apart quite often, especially in the summer since we dont have air conditioning and right now only have a queen size bed, so he gets real hot and likes to stretch out. Its really no biggy for us..
we don't sleep together 5 nights out of the week due to when he works!
Thanks bees! Sometimes I just need a good sleep! SO always says its weird, its good to know I'm not the only one who occasionally enjoys it!
We don't sleep together every night because my hubby is a firefighter who works 24 hour shifts, so on the days he works he sleeps at work and I sleep alone at home. I don't love it, but that's our life. I think it will be especially rough when we have kids because there will be some days when I won't have any help from him at all since he'll be at work.
He is a very light sleeper, so we sleep in the same bed, but the smallest bed we can have is a king size bed (we're both tiny people!) so sometimes it feels like two beds!
Sometimes when he does manage to get to sleep, he'll snore so loud that I'll move into the guest bedroom. That's rare though, like once/twice a year.
I'll also switch rooms if we fight and I can't sleep - I toss and turn when there's an unresolved issue, but he needs the time to cool down and only talk about it the day after... Fortunately, that happened only twice in three years, we don't really fight...
Yes, we do a lot. I go to bed early because I get up very early. FI always falls asleep on the sofa and sometimes stays there until morning. But I'm also a light sleeper, which he is aware of and tried his best to accomodate that. He's a good egg.
I sleep on the couch a couple of nights a week, because sometimes I like to stay up late and he has to go to bed at a reasonable time for work and I don't want to disturb him. Also recently I've had a terrible cough so have slept on my own too.
I really enjoy sharing a bed with him, but when I have naps during the day in bed I do sleep better alone!
No we always sleep together unless one of us is really sick, then that person stays on the couch. Neither one of us has bad enough sleep habits, yet anyway
No, we always sleep together unless he is out of town. This hasn't happened yet (hoping it won't either) but if he got really sick he said he would sleep on the couch so he didn't get me, his preggie wife, sick since I was sick 4 times already during this journey.
I am lucky though as he is a quiet sleeper. Thank God for that because I am a very light sleeper as well. He does talk in his sleep occasionally but usually I am cracking up because of it.
My husband takes over the bed, talks in his sleep, wakes up and does weird things (once he grabbed my hand and i guess thought my engagement ring stone broke out and was babbling to me about it....another time he was apologizing for drinking all the Jack Daniels--which he doesn't like....very weird), plus he snores like a maniac. I get bad insomnia, too, but...eh, if he's sick, I could see myself booting him to the next room. But I totally get wanting your own nights sleep...ya know, in the middle of the bed for a change =]
at least once a week FI falls asleep in the downstairs living room on the couch and i don't have the heart to wake him up (he appreciates it)... last night we actually both fell asleep in the living room on separate couches.
we've only slept in separate rooms after an argument and we both need breathing room to sleep off our anger
we'll sleep alone when i go home to my parents for a weekend or if i stay at a friends' house for the night... but if we're both in the same house we sleep together. he does snore and steal my covers..... but i'm cool with it :)
He tends to fall asleep watching tv on the couch about once or twice a week. He knows it annoys me though so he's been working on cutting down to just once a week.
Once in awhile one of us is being restless, tossing and turning and he'll go to another room. He also can't sleep next to me the day before aunt flo visits, I don't know if it's my temperature or I'm restless, but his lack of being able to sleep next to me is a better predictor of when she's going to visit than I am at predicting her arrival, weird.
We almost never sleep in seperate beds, only when we're mad at each other & I usually wind up wanting him back in the bed within an hour :). But I completely understand your situation and there's nothing wrong with it!!! For some people who might not know your situation & with you being a light sleeper & with him snoring, they may think it's weird but you can't help the way you are!
We sleep apart all the time! Not necessarily by choice, but because I would go to sleep, my FI would stay up to play video games with his friends or watch TV and he'd fall asleep on the couch. At first I hated it. But now, I'm like ok well, at least I'll have a more restful sleep!
We don't have another bed, so that's not really an option for us, but I don't think we'd take advantage even if it was. We've finally gotten down our rhythm, and we're getting good at sleeping in the same bed. When I'm gone he piles up pillows on my side of the bed so that it feels like I'm there (awwww)....I guess we've just become accustomed. And he is adamantly opposed to sleeping separately after a fight...it's my bed, it's his bed, and neither of us gets the boot, no matter how upset we are in the moment. We always say something along the lines of, "I love you, but I'm not happy with you right now, so let's just go to sleep and we'll figure this out tomorrow." Works for us. And apparently, I steal covers and talk in my sleep, so I'm pretty lucky he puts up with me...he says he'd like to make a coffee table book of the stuff I say because it's totally weird.
I tend to be the one who falls asleep on the couch. He snores SO loud and has trouble falling asleep with the TV on, but I need the TV a lot of the time. We've gotten into a bit of a habit of him coming to get me off the couch at like 1:30 in the morning and by then I'm so half-asleep that I can be asleep before he starts snoring again.
I haven't slept in the same state as my husband for 4 months he's in the military- I get to see him in 13 days though!
Ribs snores most nights, but I only notice it when I'm already dealing with insomnia. I go sleep on our couch those nights. I don't really care if it sounds bad, because no one would want to deal with cranky me :)
During winter months I get really bad insomnia, and I can usually make myself sleep IF the hubs isn't there, which sucks. But we have a really comfy guest bed, so he sleeps there quite often in the winter and doesn't mind it.
When winter is over, we're always back to sleeping in the same bed again :)
I joke about it sometimes, but we've never been in the house together and slept in separate beds.
When he's gone for the night at a friend's or his mom's though, I secretly love going back to my single ways of sleeping with a wall of pillows on both sides of my body, dead in the center of the bed.
Yes, and a LOT lately because I've been sick and desparately need my sleep. I am a light sleeper also and get irrationally angry at him when he snores and keeps me up.
yup after a fight, we both need space and he goes to the guest room.. but usually he crawls back into bed, wakes me up even if its two am, and he starts talking about whatever we have fought and discuss it out. other than that its same bed.
Yep; We do A LOT Too. I sleep pretty lightly. He snores; moans; groans; you name it- he does it in his sleep. I have a lot of trouble sleeping. He snores a lot more when he is sick. He's been sick a lot this winter; so I've had LOTS of nights in the guest bed. I actually don't mind it. Maybe that's bad; but I need sleep or I feel terrible throughout the day and want to get into bed by 8:30 the next night..... Whatever works for you guys! It works for Us! I usually sleep in bed on the weekends no matter what though; because I have no excuse for having to get up early. I can sleep a good copule hours after he gets up if I need to...
Hardly but we have every once in a while. If one of us is really sick or something we might sleep alone. Or sometimes we'll have "sleepovers" on the couch so we are sleeping next to each other but not with each other!
We don't live together yet but once we're married we'll be apart a lot at nights (and days too) because he's a train conductor and they always work on call so he is gone a lot at nights or doesn't come home until 3 or 4 in the morning. When he comes home in the middle of the night he'll still sleep with me but we're having our closet and dressers in the spare bedroom that way if he has to go in the middle of the night he won't wake me and if he gets home late and I have to work in the morning, I won't wake him up.
If one of us is really sick, he will go sleep on the couch. Otherwise, we only sleep apart if he's traveling for work, which doesn't happen too often. I sleep terribly when he's not there. He talks in his sleep sometimes and does some pretty wicked jumping and twitching, but after so many years it no longer wakes me up.
We have kids, so sometimes its like musical beds to get everyone to sleep...so, yes, we sometimes sleep in seperate rooms :)
I am guilty of sleeping on the sofa a lot. Not for any reason other than I LOOOVE sleeping on our sofa.
Other times FI falls asleep on the living room floor and doesn't come to bed after. This man can not be woken up after he has fallen asleep!
He also works out of town sometimes - that is when our pup keeps me company.
As I am writing this post, I am snuggled in on the sofa and he is on the floor!!

My SO and I love each other to death but....sometimes we sleep in separate beds. Him in the guest, me in the master. I usually go to sleep before him and hog the bed. And he snores, talks, and has serious jimmy legs! I'm a super light sleeper, and have occasional insomnia. When I'm over tired, he sometimes opts out of the 'master bed' so I can catch a good nights sleep. Are we crazy, or does anyone else do this?!
