| Subject: The case for sleeping in separate beds Thu Apr 24, 2014 8:51 pm | |
| The other night I slept on a twin bed in the guest room of the house I share with my husband and our two kids. We have a comfortable, firm king-size bed in our master bedroom, but my husband was sick and gross, so rather than hop in the sack with him, I decided to quietly slip down the hallway and sleep alone.
It was the best night's sleep I've had in years.
For once, I was able to sleep in my preferred position - on my stomach in a big X, socked foot hanging off the bed to the right, sockless foot hanging off the bed to the left. There was no tug of war over the covers, no pokes in the back to alert me to my snoring, no waking up to a wiggly kid (or two) in bed with us. In fact, no waking up at all. It was, pardon the pun, a dream.
Having slept so great solo made me wonder, why don't we all sleep alone?
I tossed this question to the hive mind at work and was surprised that many had similar feelings.
"Yes! I think about this all the time."
"Bring back separate beds!"
"I recall liking [sharing a bed] at one point ... but now ... after like 9 years all I think is, 'Stop breathing on me!'"
