My husband and I are coming closely to that time of seperate bedrooms. I can't tell you the number of nights over the years I have slept on the couch due to snoring. I can deal with temperature differences. Hubby likes it very cold in the bedroom.....about 60 degrees (no kidding, we run AC in the winter sometimes because we can't open the window due to smoke outside). I tend to be the hot one in the relationship, so I just slept above the covers. Here are a few more problems.......my husband became a violent bed partner. He was all arms (turning over on his stomach and placing his hands under his pillow with elbows jabbing into my body) and would hit me while I was sleeping...he was sleeping too. He is also a bedhog. I can't sleep in the upper right corner of my side of the bed. I need room too. I even tried stick pins to keep him on his side! Well, we solved that by getting a king sized bed and switching sides we sleep on. With 14 years of him subconsciously looking for me on the right side of the bed in his sleep, he stays off the left side and I have an entire king size bed practically to myself because he is now the one teetering on the edge. I also keep a king size body pillow between us to help keep him on his side. This has helped us in many ways because now I am not suffocating under his body heat and can sleep under the covers for the first time in years. It also keeps him from taking my pillow from under my head and placing it between his legs (he would be asleep and do this!). Another problem is the fan. Hubby likes a hurricane in his face. Any wind in my face gives me an awful sinus headache that won't go away and I spend days unable to breathe as a result of the air in my face. We compromise by having the fan at the foot of the bed facing the wall and on a low setting. Now everyone knows why I chose the name Sleepy!
