We <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boston.com\/community\/tell-us\/would-you-try-a-sleep-divorce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">asked Boston.com readers<\/a> how they felt about regularly spending nights apart from their spouse and most of the 606 people who responded to the survey said \u201csleep divorce\u201d has improved their quality of sleep and their relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Sixty-six percent of respondents said they\u2019ve already tried it and love it and another 20% said they\u2019d like to give it a try. Of those who\u2019ve already slept separately from their partners, just 3% said they hated the experience.<\/p>\n<p>Just because you love your spouse, doesn\u2019t mean your sleep habits will be aligned. Many readers said they\u2019d take being well-rested every day over sleeping in the same bed and enduring snoring, comforter-hogging, and mismatched schedules.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we hadn\u2019t done this, we\u2019d have gotten for real divorced a long time ago.

She\u2019s early to bed and early to rise, whereas I go to sleep and wake up much later than she does. She\u2019s also capable of falling asleep quickly, whereas, I need to read or wind down in bed before turning the lights off. Before, there was a constant effort to compromise, which meant neither spouse really slept the way they wanted to. Now, we both sleep as well as we possibly can. We get the whole bed, sleep when and for how long we want, and never disturb each other. On weekends we\u2019ll have sleepovers and during intimate time, we joke \u201cyour place or mine?\u201d I don\u2019t think we\u2019ll ever go back to sleeping in the same bed. Hey, if separate quarters is good enough for the Queen of England, it\u2019s good enough for us!\u201d <em>\u2014 Sam, Winthrop<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe both have different kinds of insomnia and need different environments to fall asleep. Not to mention our toddler\u2019s room is on a different floor than our bedroom, and they don\u2019t sleep through the night yet. By sleeping apart, my partner and I both get more\/better sleep, and I can sleep closer to our child\u2019s room and soothe them when they need me.\u201d <em>\u2014 Janet, Somerville<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been sleeping in a separate room for two years. My fianc\u00e9 gets up for work between 4:30 and 5 a.m. His favorite wake-up routine is hitting the snooze button every 10 minutes. I don\u2019t have to get up until 6:45 a.m. When we used to share a bed we would fight constantly, have awful days, and be resentful. Plus, I\u2019m pretty sure he has sleep apnea so the snoring is unfathomable. I am an extremely light sleeper. Sleep divorce, I think, has made our relationship so much better.\u201d <em>\u2014 Alicia, Lowell<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am a long-time advocate of a cozy guest bedroom (and separate bath) doing wonders for a relationship! There are plenty of times when a good night\u2019s sleep just can\u2019t be had, usually from snoring, and popping down there makes me less grumpy. I\u2019m well-rested and less resentful of my sleep being disturbed. For me, a happily coupled woman = a separate sleeping space when needed and my own bath. Both give me personal space, sleep, and sanity when needed!\u201d <em>\u2014 Gwen K., Brighton<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHealth is life\u2019s number one priority. Without it, nothing else matters. Sleep patterns contribute to maximum health, both physical and psychological. This is well-documented in the literature based on multiple studies. Understandably, partners prefer to sleep in one comfortable bed. Yet when one partner interferes with the sound sleep of the other, why continue the torture? Consider, instead, separate beds with visiting privileges! Does it really matter where one sleeps as long as it is a solid, healthy seven to eight hours? Wake up refreshed and grateful for the healthy, mutually caring, and considerate relationship you have.\u201d <em>\u2014 Ginny, Newton<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve lived with my boyfriend for a year. I am a nurse, he works a 9 to 5. We have separate bedrooms and sleep in the same bed two to four times a week if and when our work schedules align. Best decision we\u2019ve ever made.\u201d <em>\u2014 Luke, Boston<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are in our seventies so we may not qualify. Suddenly my husband, who is the love of my life, began snoring enough that you could hear him across the country. We prefer to call it dating. Our love life has always been fabulous and it\u2019s even better. Lack of sleep is a serious stressor no matter what age.\u201d <em>\u2014 Hope G.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>I would try it.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cI personally want to try a sleep divorce but my spouse is against it. He snores, shakes the bed like a freight train, and violently cuddles me in his sleep. My sleep hasn\u2019t been as consistent or high-quality in the two years we\u2019ve been together. He believes sleeping apart is the first step toward distance in a relationship. So for now, I just try to fall asleep first!\u201d <em>\u2014 Nikki, Dedham<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOutside of cheating, nothing makes me homicidal more than his snoring.\u201d <em>\u2014 Sue, New Hampshire<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe real issue is the dog in the bed. Man\u2019s best friend is even friendlier when it is time for bed. I stay up late while my spouse falls asleep earlier. We are considering splitting beds. The dog and I in one bed and my better half in the other bed.\u201d <em>\u2014 T, Brookline<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy wife is a stay-at-home mom, I work rotating nights and days. Sometimes I\u2019m coming home at 4 a.m. after a night\u2019s work and want to sleep until 10 or 11. We\u2019re never on the same sleep schedule and usually wake each other up once or twice a night. She recently had strep throat and slept in the other room for a few nights due to constant coughing. I hate to say it, but those were the best nights of sleep I\u2019ve had in a while.\u201d <em>\u2014 Tony, Georgetown<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d try it, but prefer to have my wife next to me even though she snores! I don\u2019t like the name of it though \u2014 \u2018sleep divorce\u2019 sounds so negative.\u201d <em>\u2014 Jim, New Hampshire<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Definitely not for me.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cI love to have physical contact with my partner at night, often with cuddles in the morning so sleep divorce would not work. I use a CPAP machine so that snoring is not a problem, and the rest of our sleep habits are compatible with each other.\u201d <em>\u2014 Greg, Arlington<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy husband and I both snore, but his snoring often wakes me up and definitely disrupts my sleeping. I have an elaborate going-to-sleep routine. He lies down and is asleep within minutes. But feeling his presence in our bed is warm and comforting (as well as sexy). Eventually, one or the other of us will be sleeping alone again. I have no need to jump the gun on that sad and lonely day.\u201d <em>\u2014 Penelope W., Worcester<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a time when I feel close to my spouse. We talk, clear our minds, laugh, or sometimes cry together. It\u2019s both symbolic and important to me on a level I don\u2019t fully understand.\u201d <em>\u2014 Bill G., Norton<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe snores, I swat. I\u2019m cold, she\u2019s hot. She gets late-night notifications on her phone. But I\u2019d rather sleep together than alone.\u201d <em>\u2014 Jason R., Malden<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI sleep best with my partner by my side. I notice it takes longer for me to fall asleep when we\u2019re apart. We are lucky in that we have similar sleep habits. Now if we could sleep divorce our cat, that might be a different story.\u201d <em>\u2014 Tina S., Back Bay<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>I\u2019ve already done it and hated it.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cRather be in the same bed with my wife. It didn\u2019t make our relationship any better. Now I have to make an appointment just to get close. We have grown apart and I am considering divorce. It sucks.\u201d <em>\u2014 Steven, Peabody<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo nights a week he\u2019s at work but the other five I\u2019m sleeping in a different room. I snore and don\u2019t like using the sleep apnea CPAP machine. Sometimes I like my own bed, but sometimes I get lonely.\u201d <em>\u2014 Janet, Woburn<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy (now ex-) husband kept pushing me out of bed in the middle of the night so that I fell on the floor. He would be rigid and spread-eagled across the bed so there was no more room for me on either side and I would end up sleeping on the couch or floor the rest of the night. This went on for over a year. We bought a bigger house with more bedrooms, got a bigger bed, and put our old double bed in the extra bedroom. I started sleeping there in order to nurse my daughter in the middle of the night and avoid him waking due to her crying. Soon after, he told me to take my clothing and move it to the other bedroom, which I did. After doing this we stopped talking to each other and became totally estranged. We divorced about 4 years later, after having separate bedrooms that entire time. Some sleep problems are caused by marital strife because I think that my ex-husband really didn\u2019t want me anyway and the problems with sleeping together were due to that.
