text: my boyfriend and i need your advise? we have been together for seven years but only lived together for a short time. the problem is, is our schedules are very differet, so we go to bed at different times. i go to bed early and then he wakes me up when he comes to bed around three am. i am a horrible sleeper, once i am up, i am up. there is no falling back to sleep. well last night i did not feel good and he knew that. he woke me up and i got very angry at him and yelled, so did he. he is threatening to go buy a cot to sleep on in the spare room. my question to you guys is how do you think having seperate bedrooms is going to effect our relationship? my husband and i had this exact same problem (with the different sleep schedules that is).  i would of course for the longest time get upset and sometimes it would even lead to us being up for another couple of hours fighting about it.  we eventually talked about it like adults and agreed it just wasn't worth the fighting.  (plus, he has to sleep with the t.v. on and i love having complete quiet/darkness).  in the end i decided i would just lay there until i fell back asleep.  a little bit more sleep is better than none at all once i'm awake.  over the years i've grown accustomed to it and it's just habit to roll over, cuddle up to him, and watch whatever movie he puts on until i drift back off.  but you two sleeping in separate rooms will definitely not solve the problem at all.  what i'm wondering right now is how does he wake you up?  is he just too loud when he comes in or does he turn the light on?  if it's either one of these then maybe just ask him to be more understanding and try to not do these things when he's ready to come to bed.  if it's that he's turning on a light then maybe get a night light for the hallway or bathroom that'll help him see a little so he can walk in and lay down.
