It works wonderfully for us. We cuddle a lot on the couch, or in each other's bed in the wee morning hours, but when it's sleep time, we go to our separate bedrooms. Sleep schedules are not an issue, his snoring and insomnia don't wake me up, and we just get great rest. And it hasn't impacted our sex life at all... still going gangbusters there. :-) We're 28 and 30 -- not too old! -- and we HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

There was one head board, but they each had their own separate sheets and blankets and then there was one very large comfortor that was spread across both beds when it was made. They were married nearly 60 years when my grandmother passed away....maybe they knew something....

I can't sleep when he snores (which is all the time) and he doesn't like me waking him up to stop the snoring or to go to work. We sleep together on weekends (sometimes I bring ear plugs!), but during the week we have some 'cuddle-time' then separate for the remainder of the night. I would love to be able to stay with him all night - but we both would take sleep over being crabby anytime. My fiance and I have a good arrangement worked out.

He always ends up taking half the bed. We both know we sleep better when we are apart, which doesn't happen anymore since we bought a house together, but we couldn't ever possibly have separate rooms or beds in the same room. We are excited for the day we can get a king---when we stay in hotels that's the size we get and it's PERFECT. I’m not married yet, but my fiance and I sleep together in a queen sized bed.

That's an arrangement I've never heard of but I think it might be something we start doing when the baby comes. My in-laws sleep in separate rooms, and have done so for as long as my husband can remember. We don't plan on doing so yet, but differing preferences in room temperature might drive us to that in the future. For right now, sleeping without him every once in awhile due to his travel schedule at work is just enough. I still get scared every once in awhile because I swear someone is in the house but it all turns out okay in the end. We'll see how things change when the baby comes. .-= Jenna's most recent blog post: <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ThatWife/~3/lKygAaVEKfk/" rel="nofollow">From Those Friends to That Couple: Engagement in March</a> =-.

Now- I get it. I often leave in the night to get a few hours uninterupted. On the weekends I stay put, since I know no mattrer how bad it gets we can always sleep in or take a nap.

I didn't feel him give it to me but I woke up to my leg stinging like crazy! It's left a nice red scar across my leg and he is now mandated to wear socks at night. I know I sleep better when I sleep on my own but something about the idea of having seperate bedrooms seems sad. Honestly, I've seriously debated it and I love the way it used to be with seperate bedrooms with a nice sitting room/office in between.

One of the things I hate the most is waking up and finding him gone. Yet I do sleep better when he is not there. He sleeps better when I'm not there either.
