Sally asks :

Hi Lucy, 

My husband is cracking up because I snore, so he sleeps in the spare room now. Is this normal?

Many couples sleep apart permanently or on a regular basis because of disruptions to sleep like snoring. You're certainly not alone.

If you're keen to have your partner back in bed with you have you tried to address your snoring in every way you can? If not then it might be time to sample something new so you have covered all your bases.

Snoring can be caused by a great number of things-overeating or lack of exercise, alcohol, sleeping pills, smoking, sleeping position or allergies. If any of these sound familiar then it might be time to make some changes to see if they have an effect.

Ideally couples should be sleeping in the same bed. Sex aside, it's important that couples are able to still have the level of intimacy sharing a bed together can bring. Sharing a sleeping space can give you comfort and a feeling of safety both of which pull you closer together physically and emotionally.

If you have tried anything and everything to help your snoring, then perhaps you could come to a compromise. Could you ask that he stay with you for a little while before he goes into the other room then that he comes back in the morning and vice versa. This will keep you physically close while you're awake and give you a chance to have that all important kiss and a cuddle both morning and night. Plus if the mood takes you can you can have sex.
