writes:My boyfriend always complains about the dogs waking him up in the bed (to late to untrain them now) and I always complain about my boyfriend snoring. The real question is there any true importance to a couple sleeping in the same bed or even in the same room?If it would make both of us sleep better at night then isnt it worth a try?Do u know couples who live in the same apartment but dont sleep in the same bed or the same room?

 There’s a health issue here that should be considered more important than resolving it by permanently sleeping apart!?
Does your boyfriend have any excess weight, tiredness or drinking that’s causing his snoring and how’s the cleanliness of the apartment with dogs sleeping in the same bed affect everyone’s health?
Don’t get me wrong; I dig small pets as they make us feel special, but I’d rather have my man sleep peacefully next to me and get him sorted out first; with a mouth piece as suggested and or change of diet.
In the meanwhile he can sleep in the other room “temporarily”, the dogs can be retrained to sleep on the floor etc. and the apartment tidied up of dust allergens if need be.

Of course you can retrain dogs and your boyfriend can get one of those snoring mouthpieces, they work perfectly.
You can sleep wherever you want, but if you don't sleep together your intimacy will surely suffer.

 You are certainly not the only one asking that. I just came across a new term called sleep divorce. There is benefit to sleeping in separate rooms. It's nothing new in history. When you get enough hours of sleep you are healthier, less cranky and less stressed. I think it's worth a try, provided that neither of you take it personally. You can have hours of fun in bed, then head off to separate rooms.

My wife and I don't. Initially it was my snoring, later it was the dog. It doesn't make a big difference as I'm a night owl and go to bed later than her anyway. Getting a proper sleep is very important, so if you can't sort out your problems then sleeping apart is a reasonable thing to do.
