Sleeping Alone

More and more people I speak to will admit, in a moment of weakness, that they just don't like sharing their bed with their partner. Don't get me wrong - they like the cuddles etc but when it comes to spending the whole night with another human being by their sides, they'd prefer to be sleeping alone! Number one reason must be that nearly half the population suffer from that dreadful noise called 'snoring'. If you've experienced laying next to one (as I have) you will vow never again to share your once peaceful nights ever again. Being a light sleeper as well, limits how long you can stand trying to sleep beside someone who makes any sort of noise, who turns round a lot or who robs you of any covering during the night too. Sounds familiar well evidently it's catching on in the US with 60% of the population now insisting on two master bedrooms.

In public life only royalty openly admit to having their own bedrooms. Many ordinary people though will never say anything, all through their married lives, for fear of upsetting their partner. It seems that it could be considered a crime to want a separate bedroom to get the peace you deserve through the night. Sharing a bed with another leads to all sorts of problems that can really be avoided. How about when one person wants to read a book and has to have a light on somewhere. Don't tell me that the other person trying to sleep beside them can happily turn over and not notice? Likewise others like to listen to the radio at bedtime or watch the tv in bed - what happens to the other poor soul who's trying to get off in peace?

To me it makes sense that you don't have to share your bed or bedroom with anyone else through the night but that you have the kind of restful sleep YOU want, not that your partner has to have. Don't get me wrong, I love being close to the right person but another plus for spending the night alone is that absence really can keep romance alive.

For anyone still looking for that 'special person' you might like to be Tempting Fate. Our Personal Introduction service that could provide the answer.
