My DH sleeps downstairs and has for a couple of years now. He snores so badly that I resorted to the couch for months before he suggested moving. Even now, I can hear him through the vents when it's quiet, but it isn't loud enough to wake me up once I'm asleep. He's been checked for sleep apnea and the VA said that there wasn't any. What I didn't realize is that it is much more common than I thought for married couples to sleep apart. We've been married 29 years this year.
