Sleeping in separate room for your partner - anyone else?
Discussion
It's not a big deal for us. Our son has been hopping out of bed and interrupting our sleep a fair bit in recent months. My wife really can't cope with disturbed sleep at all, whereas it's no big deal for me. So I decamped to the spare room and our son has been instructed to wake me up if he absolutely can't manage to stay in his own bed, and not to disturb his mother on pain of death (or forfeiture of Minecraft rights). I do the nocturnal "there aren't any monsters psychobabble" and shove him back in bed. We've just about broken the bad sleep habits that my wife's inability to function at night were unfortunately reinforcing, so I'm now often back in the main bedroom (!).
Yep, frequently.
He snores like an angry pig unfortunately. Went down the GP route etc and nothing really changed, we were both knackered and grumpy so it made sense.
We tend to go to bed around 10ish and cuddle up to watch a box set or other for an hour and then he goes to the other bed. We still get time together, we still get to sleep well. He does stay occasionally but mainly if neither of us need to get up early the next morning.

Only if you believe you can only have sex in bedrooms perhaps.toasty said:
We don't even have separate beds for the dogs! All of us snuggled in together. Unhygenic? The dogs don't seem to care.
Nah, thats great when the kids are smaller, everyone seems to sleep better in a huge huddle, plus you're so knackered you could sleep through an earthquake anyway. I think as you get older though and it's just the two of you left you seem to sleep much lighter and hear every sound.HWMBO snoring seemed to run on a cycle, he's snort himself awake, waking me in the process, and then it would take about 20 minutes for him to fall back deep enough to start again. Unfortunately this would also be just as I nodded off too so it was a constant cycle of light sleep and jolted awake for us both. He'd then not be able to sleep because he knew he was keeping me awake and we both ended up tired and grumpy.
Still in same bed but I can see the point
My wife can’t seem to get in and out of bed without considering I am asleep
Throwing dressing gown on the bed, jumping in like I’m not asleep
That said, she is up dealing with a baby that I simply cannot hear, so I am still getting the better deal
My wife’s grandparents slept in separate rooms

I do it as the Mrs co sleeps with the baby so ends up going to sleep early and he gets up a few times at night.
All that space and peace and quiet is heaven, going to be hard to adjust when the baby moves to his own room soon.
Plus I get to choose to sleep with whichever supermodel I want when I'm feeling lonely
Ah all you poor light sleepers, you could have a marching band go through our bedroom and I wouldn't even stir!
A minor tale related for my famed heavy sleeping as an Air Cadet I was once woken up by a warrant officer who happened upon my sleeping form still in my bed, in the parade square at RAF Lyneham. Some of the NCO's thought it would be funny to charge into our rooms at night and trash them so we had to get up and sort them in time for morning inspection, trouble was they came into my room trashed everything and noticed I wasn't even slightly aware of them so wanted to see how far they could get me before I woke up and they got bored when they got as far as that so left me there.
Obviously according to the WO this was still all my fault!

The day she starts insisting i sleep in another room is the day alarm bells should be clanging wildly. She snores, i snore, we both wake each other up.
Due to pain from a disability, she gets restless leg syndrome type thing at night and so thrashes round like i don't know what.
It's part of our life and if i am that bothered by it, then there is something wrong*.
* this doesn't take into account of course that when she snores, i am making things up - this despite her son telling her she snores like a pig grunting - yet when i snore, the breathing in removes all oxygen in the universe and the breathing out noise is so loud even aliens in the Andromeda Galaxy have asked
WTF was that??
apparently

I understand why people do it but one bed for us. Admittedly, we don't have a spare bedroom (office/kids) but even if we did I don't think it'd happen.
My other half snores when she has a cold, I snore when I don't but she lives with that. I put ear plugs in. We sleep really well to be honest.

Not an option for me as the house is too small, but I'd love to sleep in my own room, largely because the OH isn't a morning person, so she comes to bed after midnight. I can't settle until she's in bed and the light is off but I have to get up at 7, the net result being that I'm permanently sleep deprived and exhausted.
