Over the 35 years with DW we have always shared the same (queen) bed. We do occasionally disturb one another but I would not want to be separate. The only exception was when I got pneumonia and coughed so much she could not sleep at all.
We've always slept on the same bed unless one of us is sick or we had a heated argument which happened maybe a couple of times. We're relatively small people and have plenty of space to roam around in bed. She loves to have multiple pillows around her and occassionally, the sheets slide off one of us and the other one pulls it back in place. I give her a rub down when she wants it. We stay in place even when we're sick. I don't mind getting up to give her water or medicine when she needs it in the middle of the night. If she's watching tv and I decide to watch something else on the ipad or laptop, I put on the earbud.
I have problem staying asleep. I wake up at 3 am, get out of bed, read for an hour and fall back to sleep. She is cognizant of that and make sure that when she gets up for work, I don't get disturbed.
