Sleeping Alone - Page 6

SleeplessinSD · ‎11-01-2010

At this stage of my life, late 60's, married almost 50 years, sleep is sacred to me. My DH could sleep through anything, snores, and if he does wake up has no trouble falling back to sleep. I am the exact opposite. I have trouble falling and staying asleep. If I wake up, I read, turn on the TV or last resort, just get up and not fight it. So, while most nights we start off together, many nights, I get up and sleep in our guest room. I do this for his sake as well as mine. Oh, I forgot to add, we have a huge chocolate lab that's sleeps in our room and snores too! Lol! This works for us, and we're both OK with it😊....

We sleep in the same room until...he starts snoring. I am a light sleeper so I just can't deal with that. He falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow. I have to read for a while to get sleepy; so if the snoring starts, and I am still reading I move to the guest room. If one of us is really sick, i.e., coughing all night or getting up often, that person will go in the guest room.

I don't understand why some think that EVERYBODY should play by the rules that they dictate.

Everybody should do what is right for them, not what is right for somebody else. Don't let people belittle you into thinking you are 'less than' if your life is not exactly like somebody else's.

We sleep together, but through the years there have been issues.

I sleep very hard. He started snoring extremely hard and I couldn't convince him that he did. He's the right weight for his height, so it wasn't weight.

Finally, the group he caves with went on a camping trip and they couldn't sleep because of his snoring which they heard through their tents! I had gotten to the place I used ear plugs!

We had his adenoids out, darn it they grew back!

Now he takes one little allergy med.! Bliss!

I don't see how people sleep with a spouse on a breathing machine.

I saw a report that states that more and more "modern families" desire homes with two master bedroom suites to allow separate sleeping quarters for each spouse.

Some psychologists believe this is a good thing for a marriage and of course, some don't. Of course, it's not unheard of to sleep in a different bed in the same room.

Would you want a separate bedroom from your spouse?
It's a good thing if your significant other is a restless sleeper & you're woken up constantly by their movement or if your s.o. is a heavy snorer. Another good reason would be they like to leave the window open in cold weather because they like the cold, while you want the room warm & toasty.

Yes. This speaks to the sleep hygiene I mentioned somewhere in here.

@chickenbutt, where on earth did you get this notion? Who said any of this? Don't start trouble where there is none.

You are absolutely correct! People have a right to have whatever arrangements they wish and it's no one's business but their own. I have the house to myself except for a particularly vicious rescue cat. I'm firmly in the camp of separate houses, but that's just me. When I moved here, I was the only single person in the neighborhood, and the little children asked me where my husband was. I told them I keep him locked up in the basement. God only knows what kind of conversations went on at their dinner tables.

@Ms X, Who said they couldn't? Are you here to bait and cause trouble too? What's wrong with you people? Not happy today?

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I'm not sure in what context you think my post was intended, but it was a response to chickenbutt's excellent post. It was not meant as a slam at anyone in particular. Did you think it referred to you in some way?
