Sleeping arrangements. How many of you fellows who sleep in the same bed with SWMBO.....end up with almost no bed by morning. I could start out having just slightly more than half the bed, blankeTs and pillows. By morning I had maybe 6 inches of bed...one mangy pillow and if I was lucky a little bit of sheet...with a 250 degree woman right up against me. And that was by 0400. When I got up. That's the way it was for me anyway. And I have 4 or 5 friends that told me it's that way with them. How bout you all??

Closets, bed space they do not change. (54 years married, I know)!
We are well into our 41st year of marriage. The spark is still there.
She can sidle up to me anytime she wishes.

46 years and counting! Officially, we share a queen size sleep number. Reality, I'm in the Lazy-boy most nights. My shoulders give me fits. So, I sleep solo.
When we were much younger her body temp riveled the surface of the sun! And yet we still had 4 kids in five years! So, temperature isn't the only thing to consider, there are other "Hotness" factors in play!

BTW, pregnant women glow, because of the molten steel under their skin!
Right around the 20 year mark I started sleeping in my office .She kept that bedroom very hot…and she snored lol

Well, we are just a few weeks from year 51. A few years ago I finished the basement of our home and like to sleep where it is cool. So we both migrated downstairs during the summer. When fall came she went back upstairs to our super queen bed and we now each have our own bedrooms and it works great. I have the basement to read, get on computer and mostly reload and it doesn't bother her a bit. She has restless nights and when she does, I don't know it. We figure it is better if just one of us is sleep deprived instead of both.
And no, it does not hinder the intimacy at all. In fact, I think it is better.

The only one that sleeps in my bed, besides me, is the cat. He's pretty small and if he gets too obnoxious, I can just dump him onto the floor. Try that with a wife, I dare ya!
I generally wake up in nearly the same cover configuration as the one in which I fell asleep. Usually arms-on-top or under the covers is my only evolution. My wife, however, seems to require major changes throughout the night. She goes from wrapped up in the sheet and one or two quilt coverlets to everything tossed over on me and even her nightgown hiked up. She will then transition back to the snug stage. This happens several times each night. I am used to it, so it's no big deal. She also talks in her sleep, which can be fun if it wakes me up and I try to jump in and converse with her.

When I sleep, we share a King sized bed. For over 10 years now I require very little sleep. I am rarely tired, never take naps and love having the nights to myself for research, tinkering in the workshop, inventing, puttering, etc. Sometimes during the daylight hours there are too many distractions and I like full concentration. I frequently crawl into the sack around 4.
My best sleep is between 4am and 8am (seems to be enough for me) and sometimes I wake up and want to "play" so the Mrs knows she needs to get to bed early! lol. Hey, it's not like it was when we were 25 but at least it still is exiting.
I do have a few friends that have descent marriages and sleep in separate bedrooms from their wives. Hey...... whatever works!! No one is judging!!

We've been sharing the same bed coming on 53 years. Sometimes I steal the covers and sometimes she does. She usually falls asleep on my shoulder with my arm around her and I kinda like that. I can't see anything changing anytime soon.
I would give anything to feel Lisa snuggling up to me in bed again.

43 years next month. We share a queen bed. One top sheet, individual full size blankets. (Learned last month that's called the Scandanavian method - who knew?)
We kick off and replace the blankets as needed. I usually sleep about 4 hours before she comes to bed and get up about 3 hours later (shift work). It's worked for us despite work travel ranging from weeks to months to one full year. Other than my putting her in a chokehold after a full shift of bar fights one night when we were first married, we have slept well and neither of us has suffered.

But, it's a danged Weimaraner now. Even SHE snores!

I learned long ago that my sleeping territory was limited to the left third of a queen size mattress. Coming up on anniversary #58. My wife has been a quilter forever, and there is always one of a multitude of her quilts on that bed, Summer and Winter. I have guns and she has quilts, probably more of them than I have guns.

Everything is perfect and i like it. I heard the party chairwoman say so.
SWMBO says that I agree.
Separate rooms. 44 years this fall. Even the dog won't sleep with her.
