We have been sleeping apart for a number of years due to: (1) kids, (2) different schedules — I like to go to bed early and get up early, and he likes to go to bed late and get up late, and (3) my husband’s major sleep apnea issues. I also think I am a much lighter sleeper than my husband, and I tend to wake up in the middle of night, and have trouble getting back to sleep if there is any other distraction. In the end, I found I could not maintain a high quality of health without our sleeping separately. I have thought about whether having two beds in the same room would work, but we also have issues with our daughter needing company on the second floor.
