Do you and your spouse have separate bedrooms that you use?

Asked by ibstubro (18804points) April 6th, 2015

For watching TV pre-sleep?

Or because of snoring post-sleep?

Maybe you maintain separate decorative bedrooms, and sleep in a communal?

If you and your spouse have more than one bedroom that you both sleep in, that’s interesting. lol

No. One bedroom that we share.

My wife does not like it when we are on vacation and the hotel room has a King size bed. I don’t either.

@Tropical_Willie why do you not like it? We find King sized beds huge and it’s like sleeping across the great divide. We like to snuggle. Why don’t you like King sized beds @Tropical_Willie ?

Yes. Used occasionally when the neuropathy in my foot means I need to move it a lot.

I only use my guest room when one of us is sick. Otherwise, we share our bedroom, and it usually has a King bed, but the last couple of years living in an apartment it was a queen. Queen is so small for us. In hotels we usually have a King, because I like a suite, but sometimes I get separate beds so my husband can sleep better. It depends if it’s vacation or a racing weekend.

Edit: once in a while in the winter when we lived more north I’d go to a separate room to warm up. Now, I have decided to never be that cold again and in the winter I keep the heat warmer.

Mrs Squeeky uses the guest bed room when we are on different shifts, so I don’t wake her up when I get in at 2am and she has to get up at 5am.
But the rest of the time we have our one bed room.

One bedroom, but one of us may end up on the couch in the TV room if we can’t sleep or are sick.

No. If we sleep in separate beds, it’s because we’re in the middle of a bad fight – which has happened only twice in the past 7 years. We don’t have a TV in any room but the living room, and that’s where we spend the last part of our evening before we go to bed together. We like a lot of the same shows, but if he’s watching something I have no interest in, I pull out my phone and watch YouTube videos or something.

We’re apart from 5AM to 6:30PM and we’re asleep from 9PM to 4:30AM, so the hours we have together are spent together unless I’m doing a cardio session or something.

My parents sleep and watch TV in separate rooms and spend most of their time apart voluntarily. No thanks. I actually like my husband.

We have a three bedroom home for the two of us now. If I go into one of my snoring fits I will occasionally end up in one of the other bedrooms but I am more likely to end up on the sofa. It sleeps well and allows my wife to get some sleep while keeping my ribs intact.

Yeah, what’s up with not liking the king bed, @Tropical_Willie? Enquiring minds.

Occasionally we have the snore thing, but the fight thing is getting more frequent. Bad sign. lol

We will take shifts in the kids’ room when they’re sick. Does that count?

We love our king-sized bed! Unfortunately, so do all of our kids. It doesn’t feel as big as it used to!

Yes, if my wife snores too much, I head to the guest room.

No, but there is an RV on stand by.

Separate bedrooms. definitely. I cannot sleep with anyone. Movie watching, snuggle time, one bed, but sleep time is solo flight. I must have my queen bed all to myself :) Plus, my room is my studio, and many nights I’m up late recording music. It just works out better :)

Sometimes my wife will move to the guest room if I am sleeping a bit..er.. Too enthusiastically when she gets up for her nighttime pee. Or sometimes when the horrors come she will also go. I do the same when she is ill, sleeping loudly or I get banished.

No,we share every thing we are a team only thing i have is my little studio and he is always welcome in there.
