In my fantasy world, someone from the New York Times read my blog post about the challenges some couples face trying to share a bed <\/a>and thought, “That’s brilliant! We should write about that!”
\nIt could have happened.*
\nMy friend Lisa Gauchey<\/a> pointed out a recent Times story headlined Married, but Sleeping Alone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The marital bed, once the symbol of American matrimony on a par with the diamond ring, the tiered wedding cake and his-and-hers martinis, is threatened with extinction. \u201cTill Death Do Us Part\u201d is fast becoming \u201cTill Sleep Do Us Part.\u201d
\nSeparate sleepers cite a bevy of reasons for their habit, including apnea, restless leg syndrome, his insistence on watching \u201cSportsCenter,\u201d her need to get up early for yoga. As Barbara Tober, the former chairwoman of the Museum of Arts and Design, told The New York Times recently, \u201cNot that we don\u2019t love each other, but at a certain point you just want your own room.\u201d
\n\u201cWhat happened in the last decade,\u201d said Dr. Meir Kryger, a sleep specialist at Gaylord Hospital in Connecticut, \u201cis that people are suddenly making their own sleep a priority. If their rest is being impaired by their partner, the attitude now is that I don\u2019t have to put up with this.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Times had 62 comments <\/a>on this story last time I looked.
\nBut when Theresa Giarrusso at the Atlanta Journal Constitution actually did like my post — in which I wrote about our solution, two twin beds pushed together on a king frame — and wrote a blog post based on it, she generated more than 100 comments<\/a>.
\nWhere you sleep and who you sleep with clearly inspires some interest.
\n*To be fair, my post was inspired by the Washington Post, which quoted the same 2005 National Sleep Foundation study that the Times did. So all things are connected.<\/em>
