Do you and DH go to bed and wake up at the same time: We go to bed at the same time-technically. Usually I fall asleep first-if I'm tired before he is, I fall asleep on the couch and then he wakes me up when he's ready for bed. I wake up when J's alarm goes off-but I wake up for about 5 minutes before I get up and start my day.
Do you have certain side of the bed: Yes for our room if you're standing at the foot of the bed, I sleep on the left side. But if we're sleeping at a hotel or something, I sleep on the side furthest from the door.
Once you're asleep, do you and DH cuddle or stick to your own sides: Sometimes I'll put my arm around him or vice versa but generally we stick to our own sides. However, J does set his alarm for 20 minutes earlier than he needs to get up and we'll cuddle for those 20 minutes.

How many times do you wake up in the middle of the night: Totally depends. Most nights I wake up at least once
If you didn't set an alarm, what time would you get up each day: Well, during the school year, I set my alarm for 5-5:30 so on the weekends I'd naturally wake up around 7 or 7:30, which was "sleeping in"... now that summer has begun, I'm already sleeping later....
Do you and DH go to bed and wake up at the same time: N/A - but I used to go to bed and get up earlier...
Do you have certain side of the bed: I still sleep towards one side and yes, I more or less used to have "my" side of the bed...
Once you're asleep, do you and DH cuddle or stick to your own sides: Again, N/A, but we would cuddle together until we were both asleep and usually would just sleep on our own, sometimes touching, sometimes not... it seems so long ago..........
How many times do you wake up in the middle of the night: Usually none, sometimes I will wake up once or twice though if DH emails me and I happen to hear it, I turn off all sounds on my phone except his contact alert but I'm usually a pretty sound sleeper, or if I have a weird dream.
If you didn't set an alarm, what time would you get up each day: I usually don't set an alarm, the perks of 2 years of unemployment, I get up anywhere between 8:30 and 10.
Do you and DH go to bed and wake up at the same time: When DH is home we go to bed at the same time, but he wakes up for work at 6am and I keep sleeping. Now obviously there is an 8 hour time difference between us, so as I'm going to bed, he's waking up and going to work.
Do you have certain side of the bed: Yes, when lying in bed I have to bed on the right, except in my old bed at my mom's house for some reason I like the left side better in that bed.
Once you're asleep, do you and DH cuddle or stick to your own sides: Again, when DH is home we usually cuddle for a little while while trying to fall asleep and then part and go to our own sides. Now the only thing I cuddle while asleep is DH's sweatshirt, which is in our bed and I sleep with it every night until he comes home.
