She is the late owl, constantly waking me up when she comes in from wandering around the house, watching TV etc. She hogs the pillows, nightstands and bathroom sinks and makes a mess of mine even though she has her own. Maybe I need my own house? Sleeping apart is very appealing as I get older, I wish we would do it more.

I find the difficulties and choices made by couples in their sleeping habits to be fascinating. I'd love to read more on this topic. Here's a recent article I particularly enjoyed on couples' sleeping arrangements: http://burisonthecouch.wordpress.com/2009/11/24/zzzzzzzz/ I'd love to see more like it. Thanks! Great post.

But my argument is ,you set an alarm to wake up,not to hit the snooze button. So I end up on the couch like a single man wishing I had someone next to me. The fights could lead to our divorce as we are both grumpy and have terrible days ,but I do love her.

Thereafter we splited to separate rooms when we had our second child (girl). I usually sleep together with the boy (first child) while my wife sleep in a separate room with the girl (to take care of the baby girl). This we have been doing for about two years now. This does not realy affects our marriage much except that I find it strange and relunctant to always wake up from my room to meet her in her room whenever we need to make love. some times I slept off and some times I need to wait until our boy with me had slept. We are planning to re-arrange things soon. My wife and I were sleeping together during the first two years of our maariage.

I think this whole sex and sleeping thing is a bunch of bunk, and People are stupid to allow society to dictate to you how to sleep, or sex, or Viagra, etc. People just need to grow up, no contraception, no sex, just try it sometime, you'll be shocked to believe you can actually contain yourselves, and you may just appreciate your mate a lot more for it.

He snores(loud) It keeps me up. lately he has been sleeping on the couch. I guess he feels bad for keeping me up. i miss him but have been sleeping much better. Maybe one day we can get this fixed. I often think a king size bed would help. Too bad my husband is cheap. Second marriage for both of us. He snores(loud) It keeps me up. lately he has been sleeping on the couch.

My husband of only tw years purchased a magnetic therapy mattress which has memory foam in it. I can not tolerate this mattress, it is too hot and I sink in it. So now he sleeps on a queen sized one in the middle bedroom and I sleep alone on a twin mattress. Nobody sleeps on the new king pillow top mattress in the master bedroom. I do not feel comfotable sleeping in a bedroom that was his and his former wife's who is deceased. We will be moving from this house but due to damages from a hurricane that will be delayed even more months. I regret agreeing to move into the same house, espceically after learning of the previous spouses lifestyle. I have sleep apnea and a seizure disorder. It wasn't until after we married that I learned I was having seizures in my sleep. Now do I feel comfortable sleeping alone? No I do not? I lose sleep. It takes me too long to get to sleep. He gets up earlier than I do and then wakes me regardless of how long it takes me to get to sleep. I stay sick all the time because of allergies to things in this house and to this area. It's depressing. Sleeping alone in this case is wrecking my marriage. I didn't marry him to sleep alone. I feel like I am playing second fiddle to a mattress. And SEX what is it? I can't remember.
