Do you and spouse sleep in the same bed?

[DVCJones]

I just saw on TV that more than 50% of married couples don't sleep in the same bed. I find it hard to believe. It was due to snoring, work scheduled and sleeping habits.

But, as I look back, my parents didn't. Dad was a snorer and mom was a light sleeper. My DH works night, but we sleep in the same bed when he is home ...and not snoring

So, maybe there is some truth to it...?

He's almost never in town (away roughly 60% of the time), but when he is, yes, we share a bed. He rarely snores and if he does, I can get him to stop by nudging him. My grandparents sleep in separate rooms because of my grandpa's snoring.

There was a thread awhile back about this...
To answer your question...No, DH snores.

Dh and I sleep in separate beds. He goes to bed around 7:30 - 8:00 pm and gets up around 4 am. I got to bed around 11 pm and get up at 6-6:30 am.
We both snore. He likes the room warm with very little covers/blankets. I like the room cool/cold with lots of blankets

When DH had a bad cold I slept in the spare room because he was keeping me up all night coughing and hacking and sneezing. We both discovered we slept much better not sleeping together.

No DH snores and would wake me up constantly.

Married 23 years in June. It works for us.

 

[Jennasis]

Absolutely. In fact, neither of us can sleep at all without the other in the bed.

We're in the same bed, but I'm up every couple of hours shoving him so that he stops snoring It's not every night, but it's enough to be annoying!

 

[3Gsandme]

Yes. I sleep so much better with him. Plus, all associated benefits.

 

[Golden Amik]

Yes. I sleep so much better with him. Plus, all associated benefits.

This.

 

[DonaldDuck80]

Always have, always will. (Yes, I snore but she does too, we just live with it.)

 

[DeaverTex]

Absolutely. In fact, neither of us can sleep at all without the other in the bed.

That's us.

Yes... my husband snores and I can NOT fall asleep with him snoring (plus I have trouble falling asleep anyways). What works for me is I fall asleep on the couch then wake up a few hours later and go in to bed. By then I'm tired enough to not notice any snoring and he's been asleep enough that it's not too loud. Then I put on my earplugs, turn on the white noise machine (and change the sound... he likes to fall asleep to the oceanwaves)... and get in the same bed. It kind of works...

DH works 24 hr shifts so is gone 2-3 nights a week. The other nights yes always sleep in the same bed.

 

[Lita]

We sleep together. Hubby snores, but I wear ear plugs.

We share a bed. I only knew one couple who did not share a bed. They had marital problems and eventually divorced.

 

[DisneyNutMary]

We sleep in the same bed. I sleep very deeply, not much wakes me up. My kids say DH snores, I have no idea!
My only problem is he tends to be clingy and I don't like to be touched when I sleep- so whenever I do wake up at night I have to push kick toss and turn to get him off me.

Hubby of 12 years and I sleep in separate rooms! He tosses and turns, wakes frequenty meaning he gets up and plays on the computer for an hour or so and goes back to bed, and he snores. The kids comment on his snoring. I, on the other hand, am a very light sleeper so every bump, leaving and entering the bed would wake me up and when I am up, I am UP meaning once my brain switches on it takes a good 30 minutes to an hour to shut off. And I don't move much when I sleep. To make up the bed after me is to simply smooth the covers under the pillow - no need to retuck the sheets at the foot of the bed. He would wake up with the sheets in a bundle. I need a solid 7-8 hours, he needs like 5-6. We learned very early in our marriage that separate beds meant our marriage would continue So, he sleep on a queen bed futon in the study where he has unfettered nocturnal access to the computer and I get the master king bed suite to myself! (we tried a King bed, too and it didn't work - well, for sleep. Other activities it is better than fine

We have been married almost seventeen years....the last four years we have slept in separate beds because the snoring had gotten soooo bad!!! Our kids could hear him down the hall. I went to the gun store to get some really good ear plugs and the man behind the counter said" do you want to look at a gun today ma'am?" And I said" no, but if these earplugs don't work I may be back!!!" now he has a CPAP machine and all is right with the world. We are bunk mates again....of course he does look like Darth Vader in the dark

 

[Tinker'n'Fun]

I prefer to be in bed with DH but if I am not feeling well or if he won't sleep in a non-snoring position the couch becomes my bed for the night.

 

[BearcatsFan]

Yes, we sleep in the same bed. Married 13 years, together nearly 20. He's a snorer, but now he sleeps with a cpap machine. I no longer have to listen to him snore, but I do have to listen to Darth Vader all night long.
