After being with my ex-husband for 10 years sleeping in the same bed was a nightmare. We had to sleep separate hours just to be able to sleep. I think having separate rooms is a lot better because 1 you get to decorate your own room 2 if you snore or toss and turn a lot you're not bothering the other one 3 you can sneak into each other's bedroom at night and get freaky and finally it's a good place to have your own space especially when you're sick.

I’m an introvert and need my space and quiet time. I’d like an extra bedroom for when I just need to be alone. But I would more often than not sleep in the same bed as my partner. I’d like options lol

I like sleeping together for the cuddle factor. Having said that, it's nice to have a spare bedroom to shuffle off to in case one or the other is not sleeping well or snoring or whatever.

In a perfect world with a big house I think two rooms would be ideal. We could spend the night in each others rooms together mostly, but still be able to have the whole bed once in a while.

While sharing a bed is my preference we frequently do not sleep in the same house. It works at the moment.

Intimacy sleeping in the same bed.

Same room, same bed, enjoy a fall asleep cuddle, birthday suits.

My caveat being it has been a very long time since I slept with anyone that didn't have a fur coat and weigh more than 11 pounds. My preference when I was in a relationship was same bed and start the night snuggling. It has been so long since I've had a sleep over I don't know if I would be able to sleep with someone anymore. The cats I am used to, and unless they're fighting on top of me I don't notice them.

Damn, I voted wrong, now that I think about it more, sleeping alone is much more fun.

My last cohabitat has a routine with 7 pillows and one male cat with no space for me. So cuddling will have expiration time. Big house, many rooms and baseman is cozy enough with TV and PC. Plus I am just like many others here in need of space and alone time. I am retired so I feel at home waking up at 3 AM turn on the light and start working on something I been doing. When ever inspiration comes to me I should embrace it. That is why I retired for, Haven't used a wristwatch in 4 years I think. Now the Right Woman can twist my arm and make me Tired if that is what she prefer. Anything for the ladies. The Right Ladies. Now having said that... You had never cuddled until your pregnant wife kicks you in the Nuts sleeping and tells you "I was dreaming that we have an argument and I warned you to cut it out and you didn't assohole".

Short cuddles first, then roll over and sleep kind of like separate beds, except maybe a foot or butt to butt.

Depends on how fat and farty the two people are

Warmth, energy efficient and nice.

Same room, same bed especially Naked

I am a freak, apart from anything else, body temp is a degree higher than average, I never feel cold, and can't sleep when hot. No-one can share a bed with me in summer, but I am quite popular in winter. I tend to start in the same bed, but after a while I move to another room. I am in my spare room at the moment, laptop in front of me and spare bed behind me. A friend arrived this afternoon and has put her bags in my room, she knows she will end up with the big bed all to herself, but my dog sleeps in there also, and farts in her sleep.

I think it depends. With a past girlfriend I had it seemed to work best when we slept in different cities.

Sleeping in the same bed lets you be on patrol to catch the blanket bandit who has been leaving people out in the cold for eons. I have a person of interest, time to go undercover.

Warmth, energy efficient and nice.

Warmth, energy efficient and nice.

I would do what makes the most sense for comfort for both of us, but if I had a partner with whom I was living I'd want to sleep in the same bed.

Of course, if you want to.

I like my own space.

I am very big on physical contact. Not just sex but touching.

Many years ago (30?) I read a book by an American nurse of her experience of raising her children with her husband withh the familly sleeping together in a communal bedroom which was just one big mattress. Whilst trying to track it down on the internet just now I came across the following interesting article which may help some people:

It is in the bible: " if 2 shall not lie together, how shall ye have heat ?"
