Sex file: Are separate bedrooms bad for a marriage?

If we don't sleep in the same bed is it the death of our sex life?

A study found that women living with snorers experienced headaches and tiredness and were three times as likely to report symptoms of insomnia — but it also found that sleeping in separate bedrooms made no difference to the symptoms they blamed on their partner's snoring and all that sleeping apart did was exacerbate marital problems

My husband snores like a bear, so we're thinking of having separate rooms. We don't want this to be the death of our sex life. How can we make sure it's not? We love spontaneity and don't want to 'book' each other in. We are in our 50s.

Snoring is an incredibly common problem and seems to get worse with age. By midlife, about half of all people snore.
