    Me and husband each have our own blankets and sheets and such on the one king bed. Cause he’s a furnace and I’d explode if I got that hot. It’s much nicer.

    I’m a fan of the big bed and separate blankets strategy. It’s similar, but you don’t have to get up to cuddle, you just scootch closer.

    Unless you have sleep apnea, the key then is to get a sleep study, and get a cpap. It changed so much for my wife

    I’ve dated one person who could not bear to be touched at all in her sleep (but she insisted on sharing the same bed, which made things awkward for me) and another person who snored, but I think that humans probably generally sleep better together. It isn’t a sexual thing - look at non-human animals and how they often sleep cuddled up together. As a kid, I shared a bed with my grandfather (we lived in a small apartment) and I would fall asleep hugging him, and as an adult I slept better when I could cuddle up with my dog.

    Married and swear by seperate beds. It’s amazing if you’ve got the space. But it is good to make sure you get plenty of “lying about in bed together” time. But it’s great to be able to go off to your own bed after for a peaceful, undisturbed sleep. And being able to read a night or get dressed in the morning without worrying about disturbing your partner.

    I like John Hodgman’s suggestion: Couples should sleep in two beds, in two villas, separated by a reflecting pool.

    I mean, I would like it if I could afford it.

    I sleep much better when my wife is nearby. We have a super king though so she isn’t exactly smushed against me, she’s just nearby.

    Me and my husband HAVE to have separate beds. He moves around a lot and it’s like being in an earthquake.
