My mom and dad have slept in separate rooms for over ten years unless they've got houseguests who are using all the other bedrooms. My dad is a very loud snorer (we used to hear him in the basement from the second floor at the other end of the house) and my mom is a very restless sleeper. Neither of them got a good night's sleep. As soon as they had a spare room, my dad moved into it. Now my dad goes to bed when he's ready and his snoring doesn't keep mom awake - and my mother can stay up and watch television or read without keeping him awake - and he doesn't complain about her kicking him all night long.

Well it could just be restless leg syndrome or something...

LOL! You know, my mom always swore that she didn't kick him, but we always figured she did it to shut him up.

My legs are getting very toned from all the kicking they do when my husband snores. A good, strong kick can usually keep him quiet long enough for me to fall asleep--then it just becomes white noise. We save separate sleeping arrangements for the good fights:) Or that last month of pregnancy when I could usually be found in the recliner (hips hurt too much to lay down, so slept sitting there)--but those days are over now (not the good fights, just the pregnancies).

lol I don't kick, I pinch his nose and if it's really bad I yank his pillow out from under him. That usually does the trick!

We must stay beside our snoring partner to wake them up when the snore becomes louder. We should make them roll sideways when they are sleeping on their back or have them sleep on their stomach. I always on guard with my husband who snores a lot and wakes him up and I don't have any intention to sleep separately because I'm afraid that If I won't wake him up chances are he might get choked while sleeping.

I poke my husband when he snores too and get him to roll over. I think he might have sleep apnea but he refuses to consider the possibility.

Under some circumstances.
Like if your spouse keeps very late hours and you know you have to rise and shine. If your wife comes in at 12: 30, maybe 1 AM. You know your performance on the job the next day is at stake, you have to make sacrifices.

Yep especially if you really NEED your sleep. My husband can get by on fewer hours of sleep than I can.

Up until about 6 months ago, I would have answered that no. My husband has become a very loud snorer so I spend most nights on the couch. Of course when I try to tell him how bad it is, his response is always, "I don't snore".

My husband's snoring bugs me too. So both of us occasionally spend some time on the sofa!
