Separate bedrooms?

Post by lferrel » Sun Sep 10, 2006 3:28 pm

I was just reading the thread from the lady whose husband wanted her to sleep in the other room. I was wondering what a poll would show regarding the number of spouses that either move out of the bedroom or ask that the xpap user do so.

Ugh, I think that would be the worst thing -- having my husband sleeping in another room. Then again, we just got married a year ago July. Maybe in a few more years that might not be so bad. (Just kidding.)

Thats funny! I guess the years could change one's perspective on this as to whether it is a problem or not.

I remember one sleep technician telling me that xpap tends to re-unite spouses in the same bedroom often because it eliminates the snoring problem that led to the separation.

Actually, I was trying to start the poll feature, but I guess I do not know how to do that yet.

I think there's the option for a poll at the bottom of a new topic... You enter your regular message. Then scroll down and enter the question for the poll. Click the Add Options to add the radio buttons or whatever for the answers that people will choose from.

Poll procedure

Hi Kimberly,

Thanks. I will have to try it again sometime. I am still a little confused as to where you put the question, how to structure the choices, how to get the radio buttons to show, etc.

When you click to click to add a new topic, fill out the Subject line as usual and then enter a brief explanation in the message area.

Scroll down to the text box next to Poll Question and enter your basic question (like "What do you do?).

Tab down to the next box labeled Poll Option and enter the first selection like "Sleep in separate bedroom by choice" and click the Add Option button to the right. The window will update and give you another Poll Option text field where you can enter another choice like "Have been asked to sleep in another room" click the Add Option to the left. The window will update to add that option and you can continue with as many other choices you want like "Sleep in same room, partner complains" and "Sleep in same room, no problems."

Below that you can enter the number of days that you want the poll to collect day for or leave blank for it to continue forever.

Then click the Submit or Preview button like you normally would to post a message.

And then sit back and wait for everyone to tell you, you left out a option or otherwise messed it up. Jim
