Sleeping Solo: Good or Bad?

Sleeping solo....definitely good! My husband started to regularly snore a couple of years ago. At first I just dealt with being woken up 7 or 8 times a night by it...but after awhile I noticed severe changes in ME due to the lack of sleep. I begged him to figure out the problem but he wrote it off to me "being a light sleeper". Funny after 17 years of marriage I SUDDENLY became a light sleeper. Sooo, I said enough is enough....I moved out of the bed and I can tell you what a difference a full night's sleep makes. So sleeping solo...thumbs up!

Amen to the sleeping solo. Snoring is not conducive to a good nights sleep.

OMG my husband grits his teeth!!!! He has to wear a mouth guard that he throws out in the middle o the night,,,grr...how annoying! I sleep on the couch a LOT!

My wife said it was either me or her that would move to the other bedroom, and of course, I moved. It has been good overall. I would highly recommend it if either of you have trouble sleeping at night. In this case, I got up several times a night, and am quite a noisy sleeper. This is a thumbs up for both of us.

My ex-wife would complain all the time that I snored. Turned out I had severe sleep apnea and never realized it could kill me. Now I have a machine that helps me breath. I don't snore, I don't have someone waking me up several times a night, I sleep like a baby and it's helping me with my weight loss. I should have traded the wife for that machine a long time ago!

Solo is good, as long as you visit each other from time to time.

my boyfriend seems to think that he can sleep half way on top of me so, i end up trying to get him to move to his side of the bed several times a night. i wake up very grouchy. i'm all for the solo sleeping

I would like mostly solo...

I think sleeping solo is a good thing because, if your partner is a person that is restess, hoggs the blankets, or snors, then it will take away from your time to sleep. Also, if you, or your partner, wakes up earlier than that is less focus that you have for your day. And after you having little to no sleep, then the rest of your day will have the domino effect, everything will go down hill from there. But the good side for sleeping with someone, you could have the comfort of someone being there and to feel safe or not be scared. But other than that, then I think it is best if you sleep solo.

My husband has his own bedroom and I have mine.

I have pretty bad restless leg syndrome and I end up moving around alot at night.

He snores and grinds his teeth, and also likes to throw elbows during the night.

Sleeping in different rooms has really been a benefit to us. And he keeps all of his toys (PS3, xbox 360-those manly toys) in the room he sleeps in so it isn't cluttering the tv in the family room.

thumbs ups!!

can somebody help me with my issue...I can't really sleep every time I lie on bed..It usually takes me 2-3 hours before falling asleep even though my eyes are closed. It seems like everytime I close my eyes when Im about to sleep, everything runs on my mind- everything I did on the same day and it just makes me sick.. Do I have a sleep disorder issue?

thanks you very much.

Truth be told it was my ex-wife snored very loudly when she layed on her back.I strongly perfer solo.The reason we got divorced wasn't because of her snoring.She was a cheater,not a sleeper.

I want the big bed, all the blankets, nice smelling sheets, I want to read late, not get kicked, hear a bunch of barking.
I like to move around,eat, drink, ipod, cell calls, etc. It's better for everyone. Any hanky Panky do it the other bed

i prefer solo..i have spent sleeping solo since i got married because my husband snores a lot and
he talks in his sleep at times...solo is thumbs up!

jennifer, i don't sleep much, but over the years have learned some tricks....try two Excedrin PM's before laying down, as they have a high sleep aid content and can help immensely...

This used to happen to me everyday, we're talking years of bad sleep, i started getting worried and googling, anyhow i ended up finding out some interesting information. Start going to bed earlier, for one, just start the process earlier. Don't sit in front of the tv until you get tired - you never will, pick a bedtime and stick to it. Start getting more exercise, you can literally wear yourself out, it's very helpful. Eat regularly and healthy, avoid sugar/calorie spikes. If none of those work, see a doctor

I get ready to go to sleep and I start reading a good book until my eyes get heavy. Works like a charm.

Hey Jennifer, I do the same thing but I'm getting better. I use my ipod (radio would do, on low). Think your prob is your not able to relax your mind. I replay everything but what I've been doing is saying OUT. Over & over I'll say to myself, Get out of my brain, relax, in seconds I'm thinking about stuff again. So, I have to keep saying it over and over. But it works some, so I keep doing it. I just need to stop replaying all the daily elcrapo. Need to let it go. I say that also, let it go!
I really don't think you have a real sleep disorder. You may just have a tough time relaxing your body and mind. Tons of books on the subject and sleeping pills (don't always work and come with another set of problems). You need a way of talking your self out of or down from your daily problems. Good Luck, it's not easy.

Jennifer,
Daily problems??? I wanted to say, your daily stuff, tasks, job, everything, etc. Because I think of everything that happen during the day. Even talking to my grandkids on the phone, I'll think about.
