musical beds.

ewan and i realized early on that we needed to have an extra bed for one of us to go sleep in (usually him), depending on the situation.

part of it is, i would basically like to sleep in a warm cave. i want it dark and quiet. he, like most men, could sleep, anywhere.
i was in school and had long, long days and lots and lots of tests. he would stay up late and come to bed and disturb my sleep. we would argue. instead he slept in a separate bed. problem solved.

then we had kids and he continued to stay up late and so he continued to sleep in the "other" bed. sometimes i would disappear in the middle of the night and he would find me in the spare bed. no biggie. i had slept well and that is all i needed.

over the years people gave us slack. don't get me wrong, we still sleep in the same bed, but about 2-3 times per week we each get our own bed.  and it is wonderful!

well, just the other day i read this article in the Toronto Star how people get better sleep when they sleep alone!  how it is better for you health, your mood and i do believe, relationships.
so take a quick read and tell me what you think!
