Although this is no reflection on your relationship, do you think you could sleep better if there was no-one else in there with you?

I would not be able to sleep without my partner. In fact, we love to get tangled in each other. It depends on the circumstances, does he snore? move around a lot? steal your covers? too clingy? If he does something to keep you awake, then yes.

I prefer sleeping in the same bed as my partner, but I don't sleep as well. He takes both pillows, pulls off the covers, insists on putting his arm around me even though it's heavy and uncomfortable... but in another way it's nice to have him there. At the moment we only share a bed a couple of nights a month, so it's a novelty. If I was living with him though, I'd rather we had a two-bedroom place and we could spend some nights alone and some nights together. I think relationships are better if you have some time apart. I need a lot of space, and without it, silly arguments start. I think many couples do start to sleep apart as they get older. My grandparents have separate bedrooms now.

You know, I've often thought of posting a similar question myself.
For me, I sleep much better when I'm on my own. I love my partner very much and am hugely comforted by his presence.
But I do not 'sleep' very well when I'm with him - nor have I with any partner. I get hot in bed easily, and I'm an extremely light sleeper. He, on the other hand, tosses and turns his way throughout the night, completely oblivious to the fact that he's disturbing me.
We've only been living together for a few years, but every now and again I sleep in a separate bed. just to get a proper 8 hours. He still gets quite offended by this, but it totally rejuvinates me.

Hell yeah! We are now going through a "try to get back into bed with each other" thing.
My partner has been quite ill for a while, which has meant he had been vomiting in his sleep - and even though I was getting up through the night to check on him, I was still sleeping much better then!
Now he is better, we are trying to get back into the routine of sleeping in the same bed - and we are both so grumpy the next day, constantly accusing each other of nicking the duvet - and lots of little digs about snoring!

It doesn't matter to me one way or the other. I don't need the whole bed to my self, we have a king size bed, more then enough room for us, plus on occasion we make up to a 2 1/2 yr old between us. But for the most part I get the bed to my self until he gets home at 4 or 5am. When we were first together couldn't sleep without him, now I can sleep with him there or not.

My boyfriend and I dont live together but he stays with me 3/4 nights a week and I love cuddling up to him. Its just really nice having someone there beside you.
But on the other hand I also think I get a good sleep when he's no there cos I can spread right across the bed and lie where I want.

Yes and no. He sometimes snores pretty badly so have spent quite a few nights on the sofa, but wouldn't like seperate bedrooms, why share your life together if you can't even share a bed? I like the closeness of my husband being there next to me, and I actually can't sleep peacefully untill he is home if he has had a night out.

Yes, definitely! After 17 years together and a family, it's more important to be able to function when I am awake (and be a nice person, not grouchy tired) than to worry about being in the same bed asleep! That doesn't mean we can't share the bed before or after sleep!

That can happen where you can sleep better by yourself .It has no reflection on your partner . But sometimes people just toss and turn and snore , and it really can interfere with ones sleep , so yes there are times your better sleeping by yourself .
But if at all possible try to resolve to be together .

Probably not now as I am so used to him in the bed but if I got used to being alone again I would probably sleep a whole lot better. My husbands hands wander in the night while he sleeps and I wake up thinking 'yahoo' and then he snores....

I think it's worth investing in a king size bed.
If you want to sleep on your own when you are married, what's the point in getting married.
Just remain single and stay in your own place and see each other when it's ok for you not to have a good night sleep.
