I have the same story as Helen–small baby, I take the evening shift so she can get in a few hours sleep, then I sleep in a separate room so I’m not disturbed by the nighttime feedings. Otherwise, I consider sleeping together an integral part of intimacy–if I lose it there, then I lose it at other times too. Sleeping apart encourages growing apart. Which is too bad for me, because I am also a troubled sleeper who sleeps better alone.
