Separate bedrooms

Dinahmo, I have tried earplugs but can't find any that are not very uncomfortable or don't fall out!

Could you please suggest a brand, please?

Many thanks!

Have had separate rooms for about five years due to both of us snoring. Trouble is you get used to it so when you are sleeping away from home it can be tricky. Also I am in the smaller room whilst husband is in large en-suite room as he was working full time and also gets up several times in the night to use bathroom. He has now retired and I am going to suggest we swap every couple of months as fed up with feeling like I am in the second best room! Not sure it has done our relationship a lot of good to be honest but good sleep is so important.

My late husband and I slept in separate rooms for the last 3 years of his life. He had a stoma bag fitted, and due to the (sometimes) messy changing of it, he decided to sleep in the spare bedroom. After it was removed about 18 months later, he moved back in, but after a few nights decided he preferred being in the other room and moved back. It didn`t affect our relationship.

Candelle we always get self-catering with two bedrooms and on cruises it's a twin room and earplugs! But to be honest, he doesn't seem to snore as badly when we cruise.

Candelle the best earplugs we have found are the 3M E-A-R Classic bought on the internet.

No longer acceptable to call it the 'master' bedroom apparently. My daughter's an estate agent and they now have to call it the 'principle' bedroom (Recent instruction!)!!!

I should think so NannyJenny - the 'master' bedroom is totally unacceptable. It has kinds of unpleasant connotations

Should add - why not just call it the Big Bedroom (as Peter Kay would) or the main bedroom ?

Give me strength!

We,ve been in separate bedrooms for over 10 years-because I snore & had nightmares,he wants light & curtains open,I want black-out blinds.We both now get a good nights sleep - BUT -
It has driven us apart & killed our sex life.

Candelle Boots Muffles wax earplugs have saved our marriage/my husband's life (delete as appropriate).

Separate rooms for several years after his refusal to see a Dr about his really bad snoring and me struggling to sleep. Best thing as I know get almost uninterrupted sleep, only woken if he gets up in night and crashes around the bathroom? Anyway stbxh as decided I really didn't like him much during the daytime either ?

Separate rooms are wonderful.

I found that separate houses are even better! I sleep much better now we're 40 miles apart!

Totally separate double bedrooms here too. And meet up in mine now and again. (His mattress is much too hard)
Bliss! Wouldn't have it any other way. And neither would OH.

We have slept seperately for a few years now too and sleep much better. Definitely the best thing we decided to do after waking each other

love it Chewbacca

Love it CHEWBACCA. ?

We have our own bedrooms and have done for years. It hasn’t changed our love for each other and we can still have a cuddle. DH always brings a cuppa for us both in the morning. It’s so much better than being grumpy all day because we’ve kept each other awake snoring ? or whatever.

We mix and match. We have two electric single beds next to each other with one duvet in the first bedroom. Then we have a room with a standard double bed and two further rooms, each with a single. Our default is the electric bed (the massage mode smoothes my circulation issues and it's nice to be pushed up to sitting position).
However, I get hot sometimes and take myself off to another room (varies as to which). Likewise, DH can disappear off (less likely).
I think it's an individual thing and our sex life is brilliant but almost never do it during the night.
May I recommend Afternoon Delight?

I'm only in 30s hubby is 40s and we already sleep seperate. Mainly due to my condition I can't lie flat and he hogs kal the bed. He is also very hot and if I get hot it causes seizures. I also have a carer come on a morning to to physio and it means they don't have to disturb him if they come early. We still spend the together occasionally but it's far better for us now then it was when we kept trying to persist

There's loads of snoring in the comments above.

My lodger simply wouldn't believe that he snored loudly so I recorded it.

I then insisted that he see the GP about it. He was given a monitor to wear overnight - then diagnosed with two types of sleep apnoea (one very dangerous) and given a CPAP machine.

If in doubt, do get it checked!
