Just curious to know the opinions, being that we have a mix of young, old, very old, and mybrainhurts on this forum... hehe

Aside from the obvious bedroom activity,do you actually enjoy sharing a bed with your partner when the primary goal is to sleep, and do you sleep better when you are on your own generally?

Absolutely sleep better alone, but she is 9 months pregnant at the moment so with lots of extra pillows and lots of broken sleep for her, there's not a lot of room for me anyway! hehe

Weirdly if the Mrs isn't in the bed I struggle to get comfortable or even get off to sleep.

Sleep better sharing with the OH - there's something comfortable and contenting about having her right there smile If I'm on my own it's like the checklist of 'things to do before I can go to sleep' has not been completed and I can't settle myself - I feel uneasy like I've left the door unlocked or something.

I prefer having my bed to myself as I like to read for ages and can also fart in peace. biglaugh

I used to be terrible at sleeping wihle the OH was there. She always wanted to be the little spoon but I just could not get comfy lying 'around' her. It seems practise makes perfect, I struggle to sleep alone now.

The same bed? We don't even sleep in the same room. wink

For about the first 27 years we did, but for the last 6, we have had seperate rooms.

Coughing - Her
Snoring - Me
Fidgeting - Her
Reading - Her
Getting up to go to the loo - Me

If we could sleep together, we would.

I have a superking sized bed. I cannot cleep unless he is in with me BUT I do not do cuddling or his face anywhere near mine. His breathing does my head in biggrin

We do like to touch feet though just so we know we are there

I like a mixture. She works the occasional night shift and I look forward to a night alone.

The covers stay on when I'm alone, she kicks and pulls them all over the damn place

I would much rather sleep in a separate room. Thank god we recently moved from a 3 bed to a 4 bed house biggrin

I can often be found in the spare room in the morning. Mrs Puggit doesn't hog the bed or anything, but she's a light snorer and I'm a very light sleeper.

Many a night, Mrs FJ used to wake me up and tell me to stop breathing.

I definitely sleep better when alone. Not sure why, as I'm a duvet-stealer who turns over especially violently, so I'm told, so it's not as though I change my behaviour when I have company smile

Gentlemen of the PH jury, what more proof do we need?

No further questions, your Honour.
