I always had my own room through 2 marriages, possible since only 1 child in 3 bed house in my first marriage 28 years.
Sometimes we'd share a bed, sometimes not. In my 20's I'd lived in shared houses where all had "their own space" and I liked that - the choice whether to share, or convenient if one was having a difficult or late night.
I've alway wanted and had "space for myself" so having own bedroom/bed signified nothing in particular as it made no difference to getting together sexually, that depended on moods not whether we had a shared room or not. Neither does having sex always happen at night before/after sleep ie sharing a bed is not the only signifier.
I think its important to say that sleeping separately does not necessarily indicate a cooling of relations, tho I do realise it does for some.
