Sleeping in separate beds

I saw this article on the MSN homepage today and i guess it sort of surprised me that sleeping in separate beds is considered a "new" trend. so what do you ladies think???

In some eps they had separate beds, and in others, they slept in the same bed.

FI's grandparents sleep in seperate beds (rooms even) and they still "do it" twice a week... they just sleep better in their own beds and then they can each control their temp etc without bothering the other person.

This is the first thing I thought of. That, and the HIMYM when Lily and Marshall decide to get twin beds.
I have nothing against seperate beds, most of the couples I know have a shared bed but also have a guest bed and will sleep there sometimes. FI's mom will take his bed any time he's OOT because his dad snores and keeps her up at night. IMO, it's about getting a good night's sleep and nothing more.

My grandparents have separate rooms because my grandpa has restless leg syndrome and snors. Just easier for them.
We spent so much time long-distance, it's still so wonderful to go to bed and fall asleep either wrapped up in his arms, or with my butt pushing him toward the edge.
Snoring, elbowing, body heat, and even those rare times he screams in his sleep (!), I still sleep better with him than without.
Anytime he's not home when I go to bed (which is rare), I can't seem to relax. I may doze, but I just can't get a good nights' rest until he comes to bed. He says it's the same for him.
He'll take my frozen feet and toe-joint cracking against his legs over sleeping alone any day. lol
a) One of us is really sick, like the flu or something similar.
b) On the rare occasion that we get stuck in a hotel room with double beds. We both tend to push each other out of bed and steal covers when it's anything smaller than a king.

This. I HATE trying to fall asleep without DH! I kick, scream, bite, and generally flail about in my sleep so I certainly wouldn't blame him for sleeping in the guest bed, but he likes to cuddle enough to put up with my crap.
Expect when he snores. Then I put his butt with my foot til he falls off the bed. hehe

[QUOTE]If either of us is really sick, we sleep in separate beds so as not to keep the other up. It's important to us that we not get each other sick or keep the other from getting a good night's sleep, because neither of us wants the other one to be unproductive at work (and potentially get fired). I'm sure if snoring or some other nighttime ailment ever became a problem, we would consider sleeping in separate beds, as both of our parents already do this because of snoring issues, but thankfully for right now we're good. <strong> His only complaint is that I emit heat all the time, and then want to snuggle because I feel like I'm freezing because my body is expelling all my warmth. I'm weird, I know.</strong>

I do this. BF calls me his electric blanket.
My parents slept in separate beds through my whole teenage life just because of my mom's snoring and restless leg syndrome. A king-sized bed and some earplugs solved that problem though.
I'd say we sleep in separate beds 1 out of every 10 nights. We love snuggling next to each other, but we REALLY need a king sized bed, and it just won't physically fit in our house right now. The queen just isn't working - BF is 6'3" and 200 lbs and takes up 2/3 of the bed, and I like to sleep on my stomach diagonally across the bed in a star-fish design. So yeah, our queen bed feels just so small, and we wake each other up several times a night. And he emits heat and sweat like a swamp, so I end up inching away from him and end up with very little space, almost falling off the bed. Oh yeah, he steals all the covers, too!
Once we move out of this place (in 2 years) and get a king sized bed, then I don't think we'll spend many nights in separate rooms. But it's certainly something we'd consider for weeknights anyway. Whenever I sleep in a different bed, he always comes and snuggles with me to wake me up, and we both seem to be even more affectionate after spending a night apart.
