My wife and I often sleep in different rooms. I’ve got to get up real early for my job, around 4:00 AM, and her job starts at 8:00 AM. Our work hours are different. It’s just easier to get quality sleep this way. When the weekend comes we sleep in the same room. But yeah during the work week it’s easier to get restful sleep this way.

I still fall asleep as the big spoon cupping her boob every night.

When I was engaged, I fell asleep every night as big spoon with my hand on her vagene. Best sleep I've ever gotten. Now I have chronic insomnia.

We’ve gotten to that stage in baby steps. We still love to smash and cuddle but I work shift work and in days I have to get some sleep we smash cuddle then I slip out once she doses off. She is a horrible sleeper. Jumps. Turns screams Pee’s 11 times a night. So we compromise. It’s not every night and we have rules to keep the flame still going. But the nights I go in the other room I tell a significant difference in everything the next day or two just from one night of solid sleep.

And anyone who thinks it’s a bad idea go down the rabbit hole of what not sleeping soundly does to your overall health. It’s astonishing.

To me, I think if people aren’t in the same bed, there has to be some level of attraction that has faded away, but that’s just me.

I’m so attracted to my woman, I want my arm around those hips or my bird running up on that booth, and when I open my eyes, I love to see that beautiful face next to me.

But hey, to each his own as I do understand how important sleep is. It’s a free world at least for now until they send us all to re-Educations camps, lol

Same when one of us has to go out of town for business....sleep like shite.

Yes, I snore and the wife is going though menopause ( hot flashes, cold, hot, cold and goes to the bathroom 2-3 times a night).

Sleep in my own bedroom and wake up feeling refreshed instead of dead tired everyday.

No loss of attraction, still have plenty of sex. We just aren't compatible sleeping in the same bed the entire night. Going on 32 years of marriage and sleeping separately about 3 years. Should have started sooner.

Married 22 years, rarely do we sleep in the same room. We have very different sleep needs. I snore, she goes to bed early, I go to bed later, I like the TV on and she doesn't, I wake up at random times with work on my mind and I have to have the TV on to try and take my mind off of things. When we vaca, somehow it works in the same bed, because we are more relaxed, not thinking about work....etc. Really thought there was something wrong with us for a while, but it just works for us...nice to know that its more common that I thought. Sleep divirce is a stupid way of putting it...

My wife simply wants to be in bed with me every night.

Early in our marriage on occasion if I couldn't sleep, I would sleep in a guest bedroom just to get a change of scenery. She hated that.

Luckily we have a nice king so there is more than enough room.

The only time we don't sleep in the same bed is if one of us is out of town.

My wife and I usually sleep together. There are some times when I snore either cause I am deadass tired or if I am working around a lot of dust. I get sent to the couch which is 3-4 times a month.

My in-laws are in their late 70s and have been married 50+ years and still love the hell out of each other and they have had separate bedrooms for 40 of those years. They claim it's the secret!

Father in law, when his daughter isn't around obviously, tells me he would sneak into the mom's room at 2 am then leave right after and it was like he was doing something bad which made it more fun

ETA:

My wife and I have a king with memory foam mattress (latex topper) and we don't disturb each other except on the rare occasion I drink too much and fall asleep on my back and snore. Then I get a swift kick to my ribs and roll over and stop snoring.

King bed with memory foam really makes it feel like you're alone in the bed.
