Is it ok for couples to sleep separately for long term even after marriage?
My bf and I have sleeping patterns that clash. I am a light sleeper that gets awakened easily by small environmental changes. I am the type who needs that 7-8 hr of sleep a night.
If not, I’ll get drowsy and moody the next day. My bf snores a lot which will affect me. in his room, he used to sleep alone on a queen size bed and he’s also a bit reluctant to share the space with another person.
We are considering to sleep to separate rooms if we do settle down. As a bonus, we can decorate our rooms to our liking instead of having to compromise. I’ve seen it being practised in western countries but will it be weird to do it here?
Here are what netizens think:
- Why do you seek the opinions of strangers on an arrangement in your private relationship? Who cares about East or West? Do what suits the two of you. Sleep separately if it helps.
- Not weird. I.second that actually. Sleep is most important. The worse thing is you enter yr room wanting to sleep and yet the roommate watching loud movie and make u lose your sleep and affect yr sleep quality.
- Actually it is pretty normal and as long as both of you have your needs covered, you will be fine. The good thing is as a couple, your recognises issues and willing to work as a team to resolve issues is a good start before settling down.
- As long as it will not affect your relationship, I don’t think it will pose a problem
- Nope not weird. Do what u think is best for the both of u to get better sleep. Just make sure that u guys don’t miss out on or skip intimacy when u guys sleep seperately.
