I’ve dated one person who could not bear to be touched at all in her sleep (but she insisted on sharing the same bed, which made things awkward for me) and another person who snored, but I think that humans probably generally sleep better together. It isn’t a sexual thing - look at non-human animals and how they often sleep cuddled up together. As a kid, I shared a bed with my grandfather (we lived in a small apartment) and I would fall asleep hugging him, and as an adult I slept better when I could cuddle up with my dog.
We all sleep alone soundly; Maybe the key to a happy marriage is separate beds

My wife and I have separate sheets and blankets, it’s almost like our own beds. It’s some good sleep.

That’s a good middle ground. Good for you both

Me and husband each have our own blankets and sheets and such on the one king bed. Cause he’s a furnace and I’d explode if I got that hot. It’s much nicer.

I love that one person downvoted you for this comment. I think the internet was a bad idea.

I try not to pay attention to the vote count, and just let my comments uhhh do their thing which is ‘rambling’ probably!

Yes, separate covers, this is the way.
They come in the night and steal them otherwise.

My wife always claims that I “steal her blanket”, so we also got one each. But they’re each 2x2.2m so if we wanna share one, we can
