Grateful for getting a sleep divorce via /r/gratitude

When it comes to sleep hygiene me and my husband are polar opposites.
He stays up late and watches tv.
I go to bed early and stop screen time an hour before bed.

He runs hot.
I stay cold.

He’s a light sleeper.
I’m a wiggle worm.

He snores like a freight train.
I wake up to every sound.

A couple of years ago I asked him if we could start sleeping in separate rooms and he said no. It took some convincing but he finally agreed that we could try it out.

It changed everything for us.

Sleep is so important. Especially when you’re healing from past addictions and getting older. And perimenopause isn’t doing me any favors in the sleep department.

I’m grateful that we are still close as ever even though we don’t share the same bed anymore.
