I find it that if she had spooned me I would have rated the sleep quality as good as she did. ![ "Sleep-Quality.PNG"](https://images.hive.blog/DQmdu8vUjG7RR5dhHgnziGHjzHF6HBcdQdswKzkcLiaGPVy/Sleep-Quality.PNG) **LMAO**, shit's so true. I'm happily married, but my wife and I don't always sleep in the same bed. Not because of arguments or anything, but because we both like sleep and she respects my sleep quality. To add that yes, we have a king. His/her adjustable. We also have a super comfy guest queen. Trust me, we aren't married any less just because one of us takes that queen here and there. We both like to sprawl. So if we’re in a hotel where we couldn’t get a king bed and end up with double beds, at least half the time we’ll sleep separately and sleep great. Or if we’re staying at my mom’s and there’s more than one extra bedroom, we’ll sleep separately. But if you actually need solutions for couples who have sleep problems I recommend to read the following.

Sleeping Together Statistics

According to a 2001 survey by the National Sleep Foundation, more than one in ten (12%) married Americans sleep alone.2 According to the survey, lower marital satisfaction also affects sleeping patterns. Nearly half of those with lower marital satisfaction say they sleep less today than they did five years ago. They are also more likely to have sleep problems than their happy spouses. To no one's surprise, the survey also shows that there are more sleep problems in households with children. Married people with children sleep less on average during the week than married people without children (6.7 hours versus 7.2 hours per night). About 12% of married adults with children report that they usually sleep with a child, and of those, 81% report sleep problems.

Common sleep problems

Many situations can lead to sleep problems for couples. Because sleep preferences are individual, it can be difficult to share this space and time. Couples may disagree or have different preferences on many factors, such as: - **Environment:** room temperature, bed sheet texture, level of quiet in the room, size and firmness of the bed, number of pillows and blankets, open window, sleeping with children or pets. - **Sharing:** Who gets which side of the bed, sleeping positions, sleeping times, cuddling or touching, tossing and turning, getting up in the middle of the night, going to bed angry, insomnia - **Noise:** teeth grinding, nightmares, sleepwalking, alarms, snoring

Sleeping positions

If you can sleep in pairs, many sleep experts recommend "spooning, "3 a sleeping position in which people sleep nestled together like spoons. This sleeping position is thought to promote intimacy and relieve stress. But if you or your spouse don't like this position, that's okay too. Sometimes people worry because their spouse sleeps with their back to them or seems far away in bed. Don't jump to conclusions. Although sleeping positions can be a red flag in a marriage, experts say there are no "good" or "bad" sleeping positions in a marriage.3

Make compromises

So what can you do if you have different sleeping preferences? Find a compromise on things like bedding, room temperature and white noise. If that doesn't work, be realistic and consider separate bedrooms or twin beds. Separate bedrooms or twin beds can save your marriage. When couples first start sleeping together, they are willing to sacrifice comfort to be close to their partner. After about five years, many just want to get a good night's sleep again.
