Usually only when DH is super sick and coughing and can't sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart/page/2#post-1706266 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 22:32:10 +0000 Espion 1706266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even if DH falls asleep on the couch, he always ends up in bed with me. The only time I can think of is when he forced me to go to bed alone and he stayed out in the living room with a screaming 5 day-old. I woke up at 2 AM to find one in the swing and one on the couch, both completely cashed out. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart/page/2#post-1706256 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 22:20:16 +0000 Glitter 1706256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never slept apart and we always settle for bed at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart/page/2#post-1706230 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 21:47:40 +0000 mrsjyw 1706230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep.... DH sometimes falls asleep on the couch early on his workout days or sometimes I do because I stay up later and he's a light sleeper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart/page/2#post-1706228 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 21:44:54 +0000 Boheme 1706228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, because he works nights </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart/page/2#post-1706213 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 21:30:12 +0000 doodlepoodle 1706213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so glad to hear there are a few other couples who sleep apart! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart/page/2#post-1706210 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 21:26:17 +0000 NCSUchick27 1706210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH works a rotating shift schedule so we sleep apart quite often. It annoys me, but there really isn't much we can do about it. We are hoping he will be able to find a new job with a better schedule soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart/page/2#post-1706206 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 21:22:55 +0000 loveisstrange 1706206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. My snoring bothers him and I have insomnia issues, so generally at least once a week one of us takes the couch. We honestly both sleep better... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart/page/2#post-1706202 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 21:20:16 +0000 fancyfunction 1706202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes if I can't fall asleep and it's like 3am I'll go out to the living room and try to sleep on the couch with the TV on. But I usually end up going back to bed (but at least in a more tired state from when I left it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart/page/2#post-1706043 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 19:31:20 +0000 simplyfelicity 1706043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH slept on the couch once when my niece was staying over and another time when he had a bad cold (he already snores pretty loudly.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart/page/2#post-1706026 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 19:24:31 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1706026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never used to...then we had sleep hell with LO--I was going down at 7:00 when she did, she slept in our room/co-slept, and DH snored, so he slept in our guest room. He loved it because he got great sleep all night, I loved it because he wasn't there to wake me up (as if I needed anything else to keep me up!). Now, LO is in her own room, but still comes in bed with me at around 4:30ish every morning, so we're still in separate beds/rooms.</p> <p>We've been meaning to get back in the same bed, but...just haven't. Meh. He goes to bed way later, snores, etc., so for now it's working great for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart/page/2#post-1706022 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 19:23:37 +0000 delight 1706022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sleep apart quite a bit. I often move to the couch because he's snoring or I'm having trouble sleeping. He falls asleep on the couch watching tv on the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart/page/2#post-1706015 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 19:20:14 +0000 Sapphiresun 1706015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, pretty often. We have a spare bed in LO's room, and I actually don't think I can remember the last time we made it through the whole night without one of us leaving to the other bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart/page/2#post-1705981 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 18:53:42 +0000 lovehoneybee 1705981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not usually. D'll sleep on the couch sometimes if I'm really sick, so I have space, and we've both (separately) slept with E when he's been sick before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart/page/2#post-1705975 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 18:50:47 +0000 coopsmama 1705975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never slept apart since being married. We've also never gone to bed at different times. We were just talking about this last night - we always head to bed at the same time. We just prefer it that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart/page/2#post-1705972 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 18:49:31 +0000 twodoghouse 1705972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first day my husband went back to work after the babies were born, he slept in one of our guest beds. It was so sad! The next time he was going to sleep in our room just until the babies' first wake up but he ended up staying the whole night and has slept in our room ever since. That's the only time I can think if that we've slept apart! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart/page/2#post-1705963 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 18:44:06 +0000 Raindrop 1705963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few times when he was really sick and I was pregnant. Then maybe once a month when LO has a bad dream and wakes up at like 2 am and DH goes to comfort LO and ends up falling asleep in LO's room... which we feel is LO's plan since he doesn't like sleeping alone. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart/page/2#post-1705957 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 18:39:00 +0000 Katrocap 1705957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't - unless one of us is really sick or we've had a fight :crying: It probably would be better if we did, though, because our bed is kind of small and it's difficult for both of us to get comfortable. We both also snore. DH read an article (I don't remember the source) suggesting that couples that sleep apart have more successful marriages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart/page/2#post-1705954 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 18:37:09 +0000 BananaPancakes 1705954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time for various reasons. Illness, snoring, sleepless nights with the kiddo, insomnia. I usually head to the guest room and he keeps our bed. We actually choose to have separate beds when we book hotel rooms. It's like a vacation in itself. All the legroom I want. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart/page/2#post-1705952 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 18:35:13 +0000 Happygal 1705952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and I'm fine with it! He snores easily, so sometimes he just takes the guest bedroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart#post-1705948 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 18:28:57 +0000 seabsher 1705948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not usually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart#post-1705463 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 14:06:21 +0000 Pumuckl 1705463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not when we're at the same place at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart#post-1705418 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 13:47:05 +0000 Ra 1705418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost every night. He works late and snores really badly. He usually sleeps on the couch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart#post-1705411 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 13:44:30 +0000 lemondrop 1705411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Occasionally if one of us is sick or if one of the boys won't sleep. C sleeps well with me, but he will end up kicking my husband in the head, so I'll take the guest bed if he won't sleep. I feel bad since he has to work very early, so if it isn't a work day for me the next day, I usually take one for the team and catch a nap later or sleep in when possible. </p> <p>My husband is asthmatic, so when he gets sick, the recliner is usually the best place for him to sleep. During pregnancy, the couch was the most comfortable place for me to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart#post-1705020 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 11:19:19 +0000 Silva 1705020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only a few times when the baby was having terrible sleep- I slept on the couch near her room so that I could get up quickly to put her back down (she was up like every 30-90 minutes). He is in residency and works very long hours in a hospital- we've decided as a family that we need to prioritize his sleep when we can! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart#post-1704993 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 11:13:18 +0000 Alivoo01 1704993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do when we're trying to sleep train DS. I sleep upstairs in the guest bedroom so I can tend to DS quicker, if necessary. Or if DS sleeps with me in the bed, DH sleeps elsewhere. They both toss and turn a lot and he's afraid of rolling over DS. Hopefully when we get a bigger bed, this won't be an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart#post-1704986 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 11:10:31 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 1704986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup, sometimes when his back pain is really bad he will sleep on the floor of our room. i cant really sleep anywhere but our bed, so it's usually him that moves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart#post-1704964 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 11:02:08 +0000 IRunForFun 1704964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: Same. We sleep apart probably 3 or 4 nights a week. I'm a really light sleeper and he thrashes and snores and makes crazy noises. I need my sleep so he'll sleep in the other room on nights that I'm particularly tired and cranky. It doesn't bother me at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart#post-1704955 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 10:58:55 +0000 Modern Daisy 1704955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we suffer through each others colds.. I don't sleep well when we're apart so thus far we choose to stay together but this may change once we move into a house with a comfy guest bedroom.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-sleep-apart#post-1704935 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 10:54:26 +0000 looch 1704935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, we sleep better apart. </p>
