Sleeping in separate rooms is a very personal choice and I wouldn't for one minute suggest its right for everyone, but if it works for you ... pure magic, especially if your partner's a snorer and you value your sanity, and you have the space.

We're about to move to a new house which has two ensuites so even more luxury awaits    We both feel exactly the same and have NEVER EVER been able to sleep entwined, we always migrated to our own sides of the bed for sleeping. I guess its called compatibility LOL.

We've been happily wed for nearly 40 years, so I don't think we've got cause to worry!!

PS Camping and snoring - OH used to do both until one morning two little girls walked past our tent hand in hand and the one pointed and grimacing said "that man in there snores and keeps us awake"  - he was mortified

how much did you pay them

My hubby does this horrible snoring where he snores gently for a while then stops. You think it's all over and then he starts again but it's different in that it's just one HUGE and very loud snort before he goes back to the normal rhythm.

We were on holiday once in Ibiza and the hotel had a lovely terrace right on the waters edge. We lay there on sunbeds and he was in quiet phase and this poor woman walked past his feet just as he did the big loud snort and got such a fright she  very nearly fell in the water below!

   …. sounds like sleep apnoea …...

Whoa, I'm with you on that Stellajane, I don't think either of us has ever slept so well. We too have been together for 40 years, in about a week, and have never been snugglers when sleeping. Certainly hugs etc but there had always been a clear demarcation line in our bed. ‘Get over your side' was a regular cry!
We have very easily adjusted to having a king size bed each and my husband now sleeps in a star shape. I love sleeping alone and there are enough pesky meno things that disturb me throughout the night without the deep breathing, snoring, mad laughing, Thai boxing, fandango dancer that my husband has become in his sleep!!

It's a complete pain when we are forced to sleep together now, because we know what's in store! The vast majority of my friends are making the most of the space vacated by their kids and those that aren't worry about our sex lives and relationships. I have no idea why!

I'd love a king size bed. Not that it would ease his snoring, or mine for that matter.

I'm a terrible sleeper nowadays. Can take hours to nod off. So between his snoring & my restlessness....... On holiday etc, we manage fine strangely enough, usually a KS bed in hotels.

I asked himself if it bothered him, sleeping separately & he said it was great not having me moaning at him for snoring or stealing the duvet back again.

I would have to keep going into his room to make sure that he was still alive 

We have a huge bed, we need a mobile to contact each other.

Apparently he could hear me snoring two rooms away last night! Yeah right already - cook your own dinner!!

My husbands snoring has worsened so much this year.  He is a little tubby and has a thick neck,  plus rhinitis so lots of reasons why.  Also a bad back that feels better lying on his back.

Theres no way he would want us to have separate rooms but I would like to be able to use the spare room when I just can't sleep for the noise.  However,  the cat has taken over  that room and although not allowed upstairs at night,  she has furred up the whole room and I really wouldnt want to get in that bed.  Its due for decoration soon and I'm thinkingnof banning her from it afterwards so I can use it.

We had a bit of a falling out the other night over the snoring.  It was dreadful and had kept me awake for hours.  Apparently I was snappy and maoned about it as soon as he woke up which he didnt appreciate.  There were a few hours of non speaking.

Things that especially wind me up.  I lie awake for ages hoping the snoring will stop as i dont like to keep nudging him awake and these are some of the responses i get.

Me: Please can you turn over
Hubby: What channel?

Me: Please can you turn over
Hubby: Do you mean me?
Me: No,  I'm talking to the bloke the other side of you.  OF COURSE YOU!!

And the one that really annoys me
Me: please can you turn over
Hubby: Why?
Me: Because you're snoring
Hubby: I'm not even asleep,  I've  been awake all night

Honestly,  I don't know how he sleeps through the noise himself.  I normally wear earplugs but can't wear them at the moment as they've given me eczema or dermatitis in my ears which is so uncomfortable.

The night my fiancé kept me awake (the night I wrote this thread) I facebooked it too starting with the time (i.e. "It's 4.18am and as much as I love you......"

He got up in the morning replying on FB "6.15am - I'm off to work now you can have a lie in "

I got so many replies, and they all started with the time and what everyone was up to that day !

Are you sleeping with my my husband ariadne?  ..

Sounds just like him, & I have tinnitus so what with the buzzing, his snoring there isn't anyway I can get a good nights sleep.

Snoring may be a sign of serious illness particularly in men! 

Nice to hear from you Ariadne - our cat would yowl if he couldn't get into a room  and when he grew to full size, he was able to open the door 

Continue with the nudging?  That's what I do and it works ……… if anyone has to leave our bed, it ain't going to be me!

Haha, that's exactly what I said CLKD!!

Last night I was on a role: I was dreaming about inconsiderate builders drilling - it was me snoring! Teehee, don't think he heard!
