Well with all the kids we didn't have an option to be in two rooms even if we wanted too. He snores and his cpap machine drives me nuts. Once I', asleep the only thing that wakes me is a kid. 

 

I'm used to the ceiling fan sort of, I freeze to death nightly. The Hillbilly did buy me an electric blanket a few years ago and I already killed it. His side still works so I might flip it to mine. I could sleep with it all summer. 

 

I like him in bed even if he drives me nuts, he also sleeps better with me in bed despite me constantly kicking him.

It's always amazing to me how such a tiny dog can take up so much room in a bed. 🤣

When Mini-Bone was an infant, he somehow dominated a queen-sized bed.

Apparently, I am distinctly exothermic, so sleeping separately is advantageous for the wife’s comfort.

 

Also, 85 lbs of stubborn dog is a lot to accommodate and still be able to wiggle your feet while sleeping together.

 

Lastly, control of the covers is rendered a non-issue.

Don't interrupt me when I'm talking to myself
