Study Says More and More Couples Sleeping in Seperate Beds

My partner and I quite often sleep in separate beds because he is shift worker and does a lot of night shifts I am in my bed alone any way and a few years back he fractured his back in 3 places and the only place that he can sleep is in a single bed we have on a special chiropractic mattress, I don't mind sleeping alone as it means I have the whole bed to myself, just because you don't sleep in the same bed doesn't mean that you love each other any less, it works well for us!

I can see why some may choose to sleep in separate beds because as you get older, it seem to have a tendency to sleep "lighter". Every time one of us move we wake the other one up. I am a very light sleeper and when he wakes me up it takes me a long time to go back to sleep. I always wondered why my aunt and uncle slept in separate beds and I am beginning to understand.

I have went and slept in another room due to my husband snoring and not being able to sleep becauase of it. But it really messes up our relationship. He gets really mad about it and I really hate not sleeping with him. But sometimes no matter how much I try to get him to stop snoring he doesn't and I have to get s;leep so i will, as a last resort go sleep elsewhere. But I do not think it is god for couples to do that. It can cause a rift between you and I think all couples just need that closeness.

I think this would be somewhat silly. If you don't sleep in the same bed their isn't much point calling them your partner or at least this is my opinion however crazy it sounds. However those who cheat should be made to face up and change. ~Joey

If a couple feel like they want to sleep in separate beds then persoally i think it's up to them, it doesn't matter to me anyway! me and my partner like to share our bed, in fact we find it hard to sleep in separate beds or in any way apart from each other. My partner likes to snuggle up to me and fall asleep on me! Also, i like the feeling of having someone there in the bed with me to protect me and snuggle in to.

I often sleep in a different bed to my husband. I think because he works full time and we have four kids it has just been easier me in another room so he can get as much sleep as required. I think that at times you resent this but mostly sleep is important to all of us and it is a better quality of sleep by yourself. I dont get much of that still because I will have one child or another in bed with me. If you dont have children or arent working different times eg night shift then maybe there are more reasons too look deep and see what the real reason is.

yeah me and my husband usually don't sleep together. He sleeps on the couch. First he got hurt so he was sleeping on the couch and he came back to bed for a while. Mostly he just falls asleep out there watching tv. Then I got sick so he didn't want me coughing all over him. I am over that now. I kinda like having the bed to myself cause I am all over the bed at night. He says when he tries to get into bed I am really mean with him. But I am hlaf asleep so I dont remember doing this! He also says I kick and punch him but I dont know how true that is..

i have seen this too but sometimes its because of snoring and then moving around too much. its not healthy for young couplesas they need to couddle and be close to the ones they love. i see every night with my hubbie and when hes gone i miss him and i cannot think of him been in the same house but in a different bed. the comfort of the bed is also one thing, my old neighbours slept separte because they like to different matrasses. crazy hey.......

I don't see a problem with it. Sometimes people have to work shifts that means disturbing the other partner, other times there are medical issues that mean one partner doesn't sleep very well (colds/fever/hay fever etc), so why should both partners suffer? And then there is the snoring too! If you have enough room to have separate rooms and beds - then I say - go for it!!! There's nothing to stop you walking down the corridor to visit each other if you feel that way inclined:-))

the last three years of my marriage I slept on the couch. I coundnt handle my husbands alcholhic smell. He also snored terribly. His alcholism led to the marriages demise. But thats the only reason i didnt sleep in the same bed with him.

My husband and I always sleep in the same bed. Even if one of us falls asleep on the couch, by morning we are in the same bed. I can see why some people sleep in seperate beds due to comfort, snoring, hogging the bed, ect. I wouldn't mind a night in bed alone on a hot summer night, but eventually I would be lonely if it continued.

Jshean20! Everyone like their own space. So there is nothing wrong in couples sleeping in different beds. When i am not at my best moods and then i prefer to be left alone.

My partner and I will sometimes sleep in different parts of the house. Its mainly because I need to go to bed earlier then what she does. She stays up later with the children then what I do so she will fall asleep on the couch rather then wake me up to come to bed. On the days that I don't have to get up so early I will stay up with her so that we can sleep together. I don't think that it is harmful to the relationship as long as you make time for one another.

I agree. My mom and dad sleep seperately since i was born!! They dont even talk. My father own a factory and my mum own a boutique.. Both of them are egoistic

i love sleeping next to my partner but i love when he goes to work in the morning and i have the bed to myself for a couple of hours, although his spot is usually taken before long by my 15 month old, but at least she doesn't take up as much room and doesnt snore!

Well me and hubby love sharing the same bed we cuddle up together and i would hate to be alone and i feel its healthy to be together neither of us have ever considered it . I asked my hubby your question he said people can do what they want but i want you near me even when i'm sleeping!

There is nothing wrong with sleeping in separate beds. Quite often, you can get a better night's sleep that way. One person may snore, or toss and turn, or hog the blankets. One may like the room cooler than the other. One may like to sleep with the window open or a fan on while the other prefers not to. One may prefer a night light while the other prefers total darkness. They may just keep different hours and prefer not to disturb each other when coming to bed or getting up. There are many reasons for sleeping in separate beds or even separate rooms. I think that it is perfectly healthy.

I know I have a difficult time sleeping beside anyone.Mostly because I move alot in bed, and I hear him breathing.My exboyfriend used to sleep on the couch because I couldn't sleep with him beside me at all.

Hi ,Jshean20 ,it's the new news for.I'm scared.Is it really?I'm a Chinese lady.According to our custom,there are must be something wrong with this couple.Or they should the same bed to sleep.Though everyone is different, humanbeings are great in they can fit anying they face in their life.For me at the beginning ,i can't sleep well with my husband because of his snoring.Now ,no his snoring on the bed i can't sleep well.Of course the snoring is in the lilmit of health.On the other hand,i think lie on the same bed ,enhance us to talk more about our future life,it helps make the realationship so near that as if a person.In fact ,as soon as the sleep-style have no harm on your relatonship,but good enough for your life,any way is Ok.So choosing what we need is the most importent.It's my opinion on this question.

I've also heard the same news.Nowadays couples not maintain their relationship.They addict to foriegn culture.Always they think about him/her self not themselves.Mainly Misunderstand makes this distance between couples.But this relatioship not healthy.It effects their children future mainly.Their children feels always loneliness.This seperate relationship collapse whole family.This seperate relationship also reduces lifespan.because they always think about their future and they get irritation,sometimes they feel mad.Anyway This seperate relatioship collapse not only family.....it also collapse culture of the society.
