separate bedrooms

heretolearn_2

I think doing it because of a problem like snoring, is not at all like doing it because you aren't close any more (I'm thinking of my godparents when I was a kid, they always had separate rooms because they essentially hated each others guts but stayed together any way, I suppose divorce had a bit of a stigma still back then).

If the snoring is that bad, then it sounds like a good idea. We have a spare room and about once a month or so (we both snore, him more than me though!) he gives up halfway through the night and goes there instead. Either because i'm snoring or he's fed up with me poking him to stop him snoring. I wouldn't like it all the time, but we've managed to get used to the disturbance most of the time, it's just now and then we have a rough night. So I totally understand why you have done this. Better a good nights sleep and a happy marriage than fed up,resentful, exhausted people hating each other at 3am.

Sometimes I could quite happily have hubby sleeping in another country...and we've only been married 4 weeks! I'm a light sleeper anyway, he's asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow and sometimes just his breathing drives me nuts!!

Yes we do too! We have been sleeping in our own rooms since 2006. My husband snores for England and this the only way I can sleep (without bringing a rolling pin with me)

We sleep in separate rooms on most nights. I have massive sleep issues and can lie awake for hours trying to nod off. If OH is next to me snoring away and I can't sleep it really stresses me out. I also tend to wake up v early and being in another room means I can switch a light on to read without disturbing anyone. It's not done us any harm!

I know lots of people who do this and apparently it's a bit of a celeb craze to have a sound proof bedroom for the snorer to sleep in!

Thankyou all for replying:D well didn't think there would be so many people in the same boat as me! At least i know that we are not abnormal lol. We do occasionally spend the night in the marital bed together at the weekend which is nice,but if i had to do it every night i would have commited a crime by now lol!! Anyway thanks again for your replies and heres to getting a good nights sleep!!!:T

I have sleep deprivation one night a week, the night he's in bed all night & I've got make do with just half the bed - the rest of the week he's out off to work just after 3 & I can stretch out all on my ownsome. I love having him around all day on a Sunday, just hate having to share on a Saturday night!!

Hi all

Me and my hubby have been together for 17 years and for the past 5 years or so we have slept in separate bedrooms. This is because my hubby snores and i really need 7-8 hrs sleep a night,he also suffers with slight insommnia. We have tried all snoring remedies but to no avail. We do still love each other and it doesn't seem to effect our normal activities (if you know what i mean!) We are happy with the arrangement,but i just wanted to know if anyone else sleeps separately.

Thanks

sounds like the best of all worlds to me ! We don't, one of the reasons is we don't have a spare room big enough for a double bed. When my OH is working away from home, I love having the bed all to myself .

My parents have separate bedrooms and I'm jealous. Hers has a big bed and lots of womanly smelling things etc. His has lots of car parts and wires everywhere and basically smells of oil. I can't remember which snores and which is a light sleeper, I think both might be both if you catch my drift.

I'd love my own room if I lived with the boyfriend, he's here most weekends now. Don't get me wrong I like all the sexytimes. I just don't want the toenails and snoring lol. He's a cuddler too, and he's prickly and pokey (down there at 5am) Then theres the morning breath which goes for both of us. :-(

He'd dump me if he read this I think

After the night I have just had, I am thinking I'd love separate bedrooms My husband spent the night tossing, turning, scratching, pulling the duvet off me and generally fidgeting. He did the same the other night except that he also got up at 4am to have a shower! Which meant lights going on, running water and firing up the boiler which made an awful racket. I am NOT impressed with him.

If he starts snoring as well, I really will be taking a rolling pin to bed with me.
