I have had a few friends and relatives who are senior citizens. I had noticed they sleep in separate beds or some sleep in different rooms. Why?

Elderly people in long term marriages tend to become friends with no sex attachment. So some of them take to sleeping separately. If you are elderly and retired and see each other constantly it might be good to have some sort of detachment.

Snoring will be top of the list. Arthritic hips cause pain at night and the sufferer will move a lot so often moves to another bed to not disturb the partner. This is done by mutual consent in the majority of cases. A good night's sleep is extremely important if we are not to be grumpy the next day.
You'll understand if either of these problems enters your life at some point in the future (or a multitude of others).

There can be a variety of reasons.
My husband and I sleep together, and sometimes I can't sleep because he hogs and he's hot (literally).
People snore.
Some seniors have incontinence issues.
Some people always had separate beds and never slept in one large one. My aunt and uncle had two twin beds pushed together to form a king. Maybe it was cheaper?

Other than snoring many times it's for comfort. I'm not elderly but I often sleep on different bed.
I like a firm mattress and hubby likes soft; plus some nights I read in bed.

My husband snores atrociously but is in blissful ignorance of the fact and even denies it. I also snore and know that I do. I even wake myself up and hear the tail end of a grunt. As soon as I'm disturbed either by myself or him I move to the spare room and stay there until morning. You'd be surprised just how many people, male and female, snore but it seems to always be the men who will never accept that they do so.
I did not have the luxury of a spare room until our last child left home at almost 40 years of age and had to suffer every night, sometimes going downstairs and trying to sleep on a 2 seater settee. Not recommended!!

I cried when my parents got separate bedrooms!
I was a teen, mom & dad were in their late 40s and 50s...turns out dad slept like a hurricane, mom slept like a corpse. Mom never had her own room growing up, so was giddy and delighted to get one these decades (& 3 kids) later.
They both had Twinkle Eyes when they said, "it's not a long walk down the hall".
The separate bedrooms bothered them no more than having the diamonds reset on the wedding ring, another tear jerker for me, I'm too sentimental.

We've been sleeping in separate beds long before we became seniors. I grind my teeth (well, used to before my dentures), she snores. I go to bed early and get up early, she goes to bed late and sleeps late. We both move around a lot in our sleep. Just made sense to have separate beds. We both get a better night's sleep.

Snoring and moving around in bed often make it hard for the other person to get a good night's sleep. Also, if one partner gets up to go to the bathroom several times a night, it wakes up the other. I you're a light sleeper, you will suffer and be tired all the next day. It's not worth it to sleep in the same room.

We don't and never will.
Different people have different ideas,I should imagine there are more still share a bed than not.
You don't miss much. I never knew how my elderly relatives had their sleeping arrangements
