    Do you feel relaxed? Does it feel comfortable? Or is there any changes you'd like to make?

    A series of nerve endings send an electrical impulse to my brain.

    I don't even know my room at this stage , I've been away from it in so long .

    Ive been sleeping in spare room for what seems eternity ,and I don't see me returning any time soon.

    Its just a room that I use to get myself clothes .

    I get home from work and look into my housemates room as hers is right beside mine,I can almost hear soft classical music coming from it,lit scented candles are scattered everywere and its painted in soft warm colors.....then I open my room and I can hear death metal playing,ripped misfits poster on the wall,CDs scattered everywere...all its short is a raven sitting on a branch in the corner

    Relieved that day is over sometimes, then I can just lie down, read a book, do some work on the laptop, watch a bit of tv, I find it very hard to 'switch off', so I'm usually up and down like a yo-yo in and out of bed, until I just give up and go take a shower, get dressed and go for a walk.

    I really don't sleep a whole lot, so my bedroom isn't somewhere I spend much time really :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 968 ✭✭✭highly1111


    Honestly, I feel lucky. To have had a hardworking, productive day. My 3 gorgeous kids tucked up in bedrooms beside ours. Bellies full. Warm. I know I'll have a full nights sleep in a safe and secure environment beside the man I love. We are so unbelievably lucky so have what we have.

    Not an AH hours answer but a truthful one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,965 ✭✭✭Conall Cernach


    Terrified that there's a witch-like creature under my bed that will reach out and grab my ankle before I can get into it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,495 ✭✭✭KatW4


    My room is my favourite room in our house, I'm always in it and love to have everything in my room. It results in a really messy room that I need to tidy every day. I don't mind though!

    I need to convince my bf to let me have scented candles burning in it now!

    If the lights are off it's grand, but when the lights are on all I can think is "Oh my god it's sooo messy!!"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 498 ✭✭Mallagio


    The bedroom is for two things.... sleep and sex.

    So to answer the OP's question in one word.....

    Joy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,721 ✭✭✭Corvo


    Love mine so much. I did it up recently, new paint etc. and removed any clutter. It now contains a double bed, a weight bench, a 32 inch TV, an Xbox One, a sky box, a beer fridge and a host of my favourite books.

    Lot of burglaries these days .......... especially late night/early morning while you're asleep.

    I always dread looking at The Chair in the corner as it has grown to huge proportions due to messy discarded clothes, magazines and anything that should have been put away but I was too lazy to.

    Not sure I have any particularly strong feelings about that room compared to any other in the house. My whole home is important to me - but no one room more so than the others. I do not always sleep in my own bedroom either as the girls have their own ones too and it is random as to whether I am sleeping with them - them with me - alone - or whatever - depending on whether we are thinking sex or cuddles or "Oh god I just want to be alone panned out across the whole bed and shut out the world until morning".

    But I try to maintain a good feeling about my home over all and I like returning to it - regardless of which room.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,562 ✭✭✭✭Sunnyisland


    I have a lovely bedroom ,very relaxing , massive views of the mountains and sea,(in portugal) and for the most part lovely sunny wether it's a delight.

    It's nice and large.
    Walls and ceilings are white, floor is tiled and cream.
    There's no tv - I'd hate a tv in the bedroom.


    There's two large Velux Windows with blackout blinds and the room faces South.
    Sometimes I love to wake up on a weekend morning and open up both blinds - the suns streams in and bounces off the walls - it's a nice way to wake up.

    As for night time - is there any better feeling than getting into a warm bed with a hot woman?

    I love my bedroom.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,201 ✭✭✭✭_Kaiser_


    Usually when I head in I feel a slight chill as it never heats fully but I'm usually too tired to care so just get under the covers as soon as and try to get to sleep (the mattress is very hard though which doesn't help) .. ah the joys of rental accommodation!

    Still, I'm moving next week so I'll have a new bedroom to look forward to :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    I think 'why do I bother with the bed in here, I hate sleeping in the bed'
    I sleep on the floor :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,739 ✭✭✭✭kylith


    I love my bedroom. We did some renovations last year so it's massive and I almost have it decorated just how I want it. When I walk into it I feel happy and relaxed knowing that I have a big, soft, warm bed to snuggle into. I try keep it tidy, and I hate leaving it in the mornings.

    I miss the days when it was just mine :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,226 ✭✭✭boobar


    Needs a new bed...

    Junk everywhere...could do with a clear out.

    Certainly not a haven of tranquillity

    Yeah I often recommend having your own room in a relationship - if someone thinks to ask me that is. I do not go around preaching it - but when it comes up I recommend it.

    Me and the girlfriends have our own rooms in the house. And that gives us the option to spend the night alone or close the door on the rest of the house when we feel the need. And one should not underestimate how important that can be sometimes.

    Where we sleep on any one night is pretty fluid and random. Depends who goes to bed - when (same time as - or before or after anyone else) - what mood they were in that day - what they might have on the next day. And so forth. If one of them had a 5 or 6 am start for example Id leave them be and go to me own room. If if they went to bed together hours before me - I likely wouldnt go in and wake them up with my fumblings in the dark.

    And I get the same. If I simply crash around 8pm and cant do anything I can hit the sack without fear that people coming into the room at midnight will wake me up.

    Having your own space can be very valuable in life. Even the most outgoing social and active people need to sometimes shut the door on the world and say "No more - not today".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    If I'm out for the night and the OH is asleep then I feel like a ninja as I tip toe round to my side ( a feat for a 16stone, 6'3 adonis like myself!!) only to scupper it at the last second by missing the bed and falling onto my arse.

    One thing it's missing though is something hanging on the wall (renting so not allowed) and a chair, would love to just chill out in one from time to time.
    We're buying this year so those two are on the list!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,812 ✭✭✭✭sbsquarepants


    I feel fine. But it could be improved by the addition of a naked nymphomaniac or 2 I suppose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,488 ✭✭✭✭Ush1


    Good as we had it totally redone including insulated slabs on two walls so it's nice and warm. Built in wardrobes with led down lights, thick new carpet and super king size bed.

    I think this is a fantastic idea! I always had my own room growing up and it is really weird to have to share one now! Especially since my OH is a girl and therefore comes with all the usual girl paraphenalia. The place is feckin well falling down with clothes and perfume and tampons and shoes. Tripping up over flat irons, hairdryers, makeup, boots, jackets, teddy bears from childhood. The list is f*cking endless.... :(

    And aside from the space aspect, there's the physical considerations of sharing a bed. So many people who turn during the night have to make it a big production. Practically sit upright and then phlump back down, bouncing the mattress as they go, hogging the duvet, snoring, farting and....my utter grievance - turning over and pulling the duvet with them a little so that it raises up two inches on my side and lets a draft in at my backside. Just.....die.....:mad:

    Plus imagine the excitement of nipping next door for a quickie :P

    Yeah - I am very minimalist in my bedroom. You would walk into it and think I was either a monk or a neatness freak or both. It is really bare minimum stuff with only a few nods here and there in the direction of luxury or excess. My reading chair is probably the most expensive thing in the room :) Its a joy.

    It is very common in mainland Europe to have double beds that are actually made up of separate mattresses on one bed. Which minimises the effect of movement of the other party. But they are close enough that the gap between them does not in any way impact on - any relations you might have encompassing the entire bed :)

    I have not gone that far - but the beds in our house do not have one duvet cover but two - or three. So people rolling around in the night doesnt really pull anything off the others in the bed. Rather there is 2 or three duvets going on - and then a single optional all covering thin cover blanket over the whole affair.

    The madness of sharing a bed has multiple ways to alleviate the pain in other words :) More often than not by far there is someone in a bed with me - I prefer it to sleeping alone and so on. But I like that option being there when I need it. Which sometimes we do.

    I don't feel anything significant. Whether I'm at my family home bedroom or my actual home bedroom, I can never truly unwind or relax because with the former my room may be searched and with the latter I have a roommate.

    I can't wait until I can afford a nice apartment with a slick interior where I can be completely alone, and have the privacy I need to recharge.

    Just strange because my sibling or parents wouldn't search my room or have any reason to. Wouldn't worry me if they did either!
