Thank Goodness for the Guest Bedroom



Earlier in the week, Helen was not feeling very well and her temper reflected this. Once, in the middle of the night (or maybe it was early morning) I was awakened by a hard shove. When I groggily opened my eyes, Helen had a mad look on her face. I'm not sure what I had done, so she told me 'You have been snoring all night. You have to wake up now, and sleep in the other room tonight!' Then she rolled over in a huff.

That night I went to sleep in our guest bedroom, and slept like a champ (which isn't really breaking news since I can fall asleep anywhere, at any time.) When I asked Helen how she slept, she said she too had slept very well. That got me wondering if it was better for us to sleep in separate beds permanently. I think there are studies done on this that show on the one hand people sleep better alone, but on the other hand they feel more secure with someone next to them. What are your thoughts on this?
