What do you guys think? Would you sleep away from your love so you can actually improve your sleep?

Right now, my husband and I sleep on a Queen size and we're eventually going to upgrade to a king. Both of us plus a dog... it gets a bit crowded atm.
Like Grace said, we'll still be able to cuddle and do some spontaneous x-rated things, but still have our own sleeping space.
You get sweaty if theres too much skin being shared.
My parents, OTOH, have been married over 40 years, and they sleep in separate beds (they didn't always).
So I believe this article. Good Night sleep is important. But if you have the room, get a california King.
John, I have the same problem. I I can’t sleep well if your wife isn’t beside me.
Wait, what?
I've never been happier than when we got a king sized bed. Plenty of room for spreading out and not touching during sleep.
Just celebrated our 33rd Anniversary.
YMMV
We have a king-size bed with two double duvets. Not only does it mean I can have a cooler one that Squid does, but also you can wrap yourself up like a sausage and not steal the other's duvet.
I've been with my partner for 11 years and we sleep far better together than seperately. Only exception is when one of us is sick and can't sleep in which case one of use will sleep in the spare room.
They will tell you, you can't sleep alone in a strange place
Then they'll tell you, you can't sleep with somebody else
Ah, but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
Either way it's okay to wake up with yourself
;)
I feel for you man. :(
We did find a partial solution to blanket-stealing. On a double/full size bed, we use the correct size bottom fitted sheet, but have queen-size top flat sheet and blanket so there's more width of covers available, which did help. We can usually arrive at mutually acceptable temperature, sound, etc.
Now I sleep in a different room; get to sleep in peace and continuity through the nights, and I am MUCH more pleasant and affectionate and loving. Together now for going on 13 years!
PS -- besides, his cat The Baroness, was very jealous of me.
For the most part, I'm sleeping again. King-sized bed helps too.
I like the closeness of a partner in the same bed - I'm thinking of getting a new wife that stays in the same bed!
Morel: Think before you suggest separate beds for your partner!
