@IRunForFun: oh man! A full size bed? No wonder you get woken up! My DH is a very light sleeper but I have been the one woken up by his loud snoring once in awhile. When I was working there definitely were a few nights I went to sleep in the guest bedroom because of his snoring. I definitely think a King size bed is a must though! DH gets so bothered at the slightest touch when he's asleep and though I complain about it, I can barely reach out to touch him in our Cal King.

@shopaholic: Ugh, yup, a full. It sucks! But we're in a small-ish apartment and we're moving at the end of next month, plus getting married in a few months, so like I said, one of our first purchases is going to be a brand new king bed. I can't WAIT!

Is we stay in a hotel and get two beds we'll sleep in both. It makes me remember how much I like waking up to him. I've designed rooms for two king beds because the couple doesn't like bed sharing.

For the most part, we never sleep in the same bed. I am a RIDICULOUSLY light sleeper and DH sleeps a lot like your husband (snores, thrashes, jumps around like a fish out of water). If we sleep together I don't get any sleep. I also go to bed early (around 9 or 10) and DH is up until 2 or 3 in the morning so he wakes me up when he comes to bed. So, he usually sleeps on the couch.
I don't think it hurts our relationship at all. We make sure to spend time together watching TV or a movie before I go to bed. It's not like we go to bed at the same time anyway, so I don't miss him being in bed with me. If nothing else, a good night's sleep and a wife that's not cranky helps our relationship!

@IRunForFun: I think a bigger bed will be a lifesaver for you. Until then, I don't think sleeping separately for your reasons, is harmful to your relationship. A sleep-deprived, cranky woman is more harmful in my opinion!

I think that sleeping separately because you both sleep better is nothing but positive for a relationship.

@Irunforfun: this is us! I'm such a light sleeper, and if I'm woken up, I'll have a hard time falling back asleep. My husband will stay up later and sleep in a little later and will often stay in the guest room. Sometimes I don't like it, but most of the time, I don't mind. I just need to know that is his plan for the night, b/c otherwise I'll wake up looking for him.

@IRunForFun: you will LOVE a king. You can cuddle when you want but get space when sleeping. It is awesome! One of the best decisions of our marriage.
