My boyfriend is often up at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning due to insomnia, but fortunately, I sleep right through it. I actually sleep worse when he takes something to help him sleep, because those things make him snore.
I would much rather work with a spouse on finding some kind of solution, through exercise, medication, etc., than get separate beds and/or rooms because I think sleeping side-by-side is an important bonding experience. Sleep is, however, extremely important, so if sleeping apart was the only way we each get rest, I would have to do that. Before splitting sleeping quarters though, I would encourage him to go to a doctor. Sleep disorders can be problems in and of themselves, or they can be indicative of other problems. My dad used to snore terribly, which my mom probably had a hard time coping with, but because she was in the same bed/room, she figured out he had sleep apnea, which can cause strokes if it is untreated, so he was able to get a device to help him sleep and now he's healthier and doesn't snore.

I have gone and slept on the couch sometimes, when I couldn't deal with the snoring. :) Separate beds wouldn't really help with that, if they were in the same room. Yeah, if he were just restless then I would consider getting twin beds instead of our king bed. That is actually quite common, as couples get older, from what I have seen happen with my family and friends.

Sorry I don't have a reference, but I actually read an article a while ago about spouses having completely separate bedrooms. Apparently some people find it quite rewarding because there are no fights over the covers, etc., and they still get to "visit" on another's rooms when they're not actually sleeping. If you have the space in your home, I can see how that could work out.

I am used to sleeping by myself now so yeah having anyone in my bed makes my sleep worse now days. I have always been one to wrap in blankets and pull them over my head which is so hard to do when there are two in the bed. Also when you have someone else who does snore or steal blankets etc it is hard to sleep. It may sound selfish but its hard to sleep with anyone who is not like me.
If I had a significant other or husband living with me I would do separate bedrooms in this situation.
