Would You Rather Sleep Alone, Or With Someone?

I was spoiled for the first half of my life not being married and having a comfy queen bed all to myself. Obviously, when I got married I had to share my bed with my husband. He snores like a train and sometimes wakes me up so I just get up and head off to the guest room. He doesn't like it but I told him if he wouldn't snore I wouldn't head off to the guest room!

you're in a reasonable situation. and for as long as you and your husband's married life is not disturbed at all with the situation, there's no problem with that. as for me, i don't sleep alone. sometimes, i sleep beside my brother with leukemia. sometimes, i sleep with my mom. i myself have ischemia and should not sleep on my own. usually, i get attacks from my disease when sleeping or when it's so cold at night. and it's always better to have someone on my side whenever the attack hits me.

Sleeping apart as you do is a clear indicator that restorative sleep is best done alone. The shifting of the bed, snoring and getting up and down in the night can all disrupt sleep patterns. Health issues aside, I find that sleeping along is much more conducive to getting solid uninterrupted sleep. Glad you could work it out and am hoping that you find help for your condition!!

Well, this is interesting. My husband and I are very different people with very different needs. He snores at night, so I don't want to cuddle with him - it just makes it louder. so, the further away from him, the better. I'm a blanket hog, so we can't share blankets. We have to have seperate blankets or he'll wake up in the morning without any and I'll have them all. Luckily we have a California King, so there's plenty of room - just not enough to get away from his snoring - hehehe.

I love to sleep with hubby, but sometimes it is nice to stretch out in the bed and claim it as my own!

All in all, I'd much rather sleep with my husband. I understand why you would resort to separate bedrooms though. There are times when my husband's snoring almost causes me to move to another room. My parents also sleep in separate rooms, because one has to have a ton of blankets, and the other likes it ice cold. I guess you do what you have to do. Being sleep deprived isn't going to help anyone's marriage or relationship.

I would rather sleep with someone.

There are nights that I do want to cuddle. But there have been times that my partner has been out of town and I slept by myself...and once I did get to sleep, I slept like a log! I thought it was amazing that I sleep so sound because I never sleep that sound! I am always tossing and turning at night. Getting hot or getting cold...but I have also found, that when I sleep by myself, I find a position and I do not move. Then when I wake up in the morning, I have hurting all over because I lack to move at all! Maybe I get so comfortable, I don't want to move. Or maybe I sleep so unusually sound that I forget to move. Or maybe i am scared and fear that if I move the boogie man might get me. ha ha Just playing. But I am sure that if I slept alone more often, I would not be so cranky and disoriented in the morning.

We sork different shifts, so a large part of my sleep time is alone, if I will just get off of the computer and go to bed. Some people do not realize that separate bedrooms can be very "normal". Rest well, friend

I honestly think nothing beats having a (preferrably king-sized) bed all to yourself :) I suppose having someone to help warm your cold feet might be pleasant -- nothing a hot water bottle can't fix though ;)

My husband refuses to belive he snores, even after being recorded. He swears we edited the tape. LOL Anyways if I plan on getting any sleep, I sleep somewhere else. I think I could overcome the snoring if I wore earplugs, but I'm not sure how I would resolve the whole cover hog problem.

I couldnt imagine not sleeping with my partner. But in a situation like yours then I think it would be the best alternative. A marraige deprived of sleep is soon going to become a very unhappy one.
