Sex File: Our bedroom has become a battleground 

Time apart will help you to appreciate each other a bit more

If you can separate your sexual relationship from your need for good quality sleep, you will both feel a lot better.

My partner and I are struggling to sleep in the same bed. The ways in which our habits differ are increasing: he gets up much earlier than me, I have a bad back and try to stay in the same position, while he's always thrashing around. I'm always hot, he is always cold. Our bedroom is no longer a sexy place, it's a battleground.

You are absolutely right to address this issue because sleep is hugely important and it sounds as if neither of you is getting enough of it. It might sound extreme, but if you have a spare room (and of course not everybody has one) I think you would both benefit from sleeping apart for a while. Being able to separate your sexual relationship from your bedtime differences will be better for you both.
