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 sleep better when I’m next to my wife.

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’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.

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.

We all sleep alone soundly

XD XD XD

Oh my sweet summer child…

Nah. My wife snores like hell, but I can’t fall asleep when she isn’t there.

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 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 guess I’m in the minority that I have a harder time sleeping without my spouse than with. I realized about six months in that I’d rapidly developed some sort of dependence where I would fall asleep quickly if I spooned her. She had surgery in January and spent several weeks in the guest room so she could avoid the stairs, so we’ve tried being apart. It is nice if you have the space/budget for a king bed, though, to spread out from each other some.

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.

Hasn’t the idea of “sleep divorce” been circulating In news recently?

My wife and I have separate sheets and blankets, it’s almost like our own beds. It’s some good sleep.

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

Works great if you have extra rooms around your house for each person. Must be freaking nice.
