Spouse/SO Sleeping Arrangements

[makaylee]

Well under ideal circumstances we go to sleep in the same bed together. Unfortunatly the last 6 months I have been sleeping solo. Well actually dd6 has been sleeping with me, but that could be a whole other thread. He is in Korea for a year but will be home for a visit June 24th. I can not wait!!!!

Different times. different beds. This is my only "me" time. Everyones asleep and this is my time. I also have not slept in the same bed as DH for years. He snores like a bear. And even if I fall asleep first he wakes me up. When we go on vacations, I just deal with it. Hey, it works for us!

Any time I want alone

Ok, I voted myself here, but I had to get up on my soap box...

<b>If you or your spouse/significant other snores, you should be testing for <i>Sleep Apnea</i> as soon as you can.</b>

Sleep Apnea is a serious problem that is undiagnosed in literally <i>millions</i> of Americans. For some, it is a life threatening condition. For most, the difference between being treated for Sleep Apnea and just simply snoring the night through is like night and day.

<b>Please get tested! </b>

When you apply for private health insurance, what's one of the 1st 5 questions they ask you? <i>"Do you or anyone in your family have Sleep Apnea."</i> It's an immediate DENIAL of insurance if you have Apnea. The insurance companies know how serious it is... you should too!

....stepping off soap box.

Return to your regularly scheduled thread.

different times, different beds
He snores and kicks (sleep apnea)

Different times, same bed. I'm the morning person while he tends to stay up a little later. I'll listen to cd's to relax before sleep while he reads. We are usually about 1/2 hour apart. We get up about an hour apart.

Different times, together. Dh works nights, so he's usually getting up around the time I'm going to bed.

I've tried, really tried same time, same bed. But, dh goes to bed at 9 pm!!! Then he falls asleep watching t.v....snoring away. Now, since I've been thru the 'change' very early, I have a great deal of trouble falling/staying asleep. Breast Cancer is the family big time, so no hormones for me. I have to take Ambien. But, only every couple nights. So, now I sleep down the hall. Dh gets up at 5 am and comes into my room to dress. He started dressing down the hall in order to not wake me up in the morning!! So, now I stumble off to the other bed for another hour of sleep. I've been trying to get him to get tested but he says he's fine. Just needs to lose a few pounds. Yeah, sure. When we travel, I use earplugs.

Our go to bed/rising times are about 3 1/2 hours different. Same bed though(although if I'm having trouble sleeping I'll go to the couch).

DH comes to bed when I do.
Most of the time we just go to sleep at the same time, same bed.
However if I'm tired and he's not, he'll stay in bed w/me until I fall asleep, then go on the computer or read before coming back to bed.

We used to go to bed at the same time....

Until I became addicted to online role playing games!!!

I have been playing Star Wars Galaxied until the wee hours of the morning.

I am such a geek

I voted same bed, different times, but it's not dramatically different times. I just usually end up going to bed an hour or 2 before DH does. I get up earlier than he does because the baby wakes up early, so I need to go to sleep earlier.
