Apparently lots of couples have trouble sharing a bed when they sleep - all that tossing and turning (not to mention snoring) can make sleeping together more of a chore than getting up in the morning.
Here are some tips to make sleeping in the same bed more enjoyable:
1. Make it. As in, stop being lazy and make your bed. It's the opening note for a good night's sleep, according to The Times.
2. Choreograph it. Paul C. Rosenblatt, a psychiatry professor at the University of Minnesota, told The Times that most couples sleep best when they face away from each other, which is better to avoid flexing knees and bad breath. Map out a strategy that allows for each person to comfortably sleep facing away from each other.

Pillow Talk
When your head hits the pillow, don't close your eyes, open your mouth.
That's what Ian Kerner, Ph.D. suggests. “If couples aren’t talking and approaching sex with a sense of play then they’re going to fall into a pattern of routine,” saysthe author of She Comes First and He Comes Next. “The brain is the biggest sex organ.”
Commit to 15 minutes of pillow talk a few nights a week—no TV, no laptops and no BlackBerries. Take this time to discuss your fantasies, desires or romantic memories. Remember your hot honeymoon? Remember it together and talk about other times you've enjoyed together.
