 Why do you have trouble sleeping together? Is it the strangeness (or delight) of having someone in bed with you? Is it nervousness? Fidgetiness? Noise? Movement? Blanket-hogging?
If it's just the strangeness, that goes away over time. If it's your partner's habits, you'll either get used to them, or you'll decide -- like Martini's folks -- to sleep in separate beds. There's no law that decrees you have to sleep in the same bed as your Significant Other, so don't think you have to, if it's not working out after a few months.
Talk to your partner and see if he/she feels there's a problem, then take it from there.

Otherwise, they sleep in different beds. However, it still doesn't help that much more. My mom is an incurable snore, and my dad though quit smoking about 8 years ago, he still grunts here and there.

 I used to not be able to sleep with my guy, he figits, snores and sleep walks! At first it was really nice, neither of us wanted to go to sleep anyway, it was new and exciting and the butterflies kept us awake. But as time went on, he would fall asleep, while I was still awake, he would then snore and figit so much so that I could quite happily kill him! As time went on I got used to him doing all these things and didnt seem to notice them. From time to time I do hear him, but in the main I can swith it off now! There are a lot of couples that simply cant sleep in the same bed with thier partner, and its not unheard of to sleep in seperate beds, a couple of my friends do and they are otherwise blissfully happy. So i guess it depends on the couple and how happy they about not sharing a bed. But it could just be that with the two of you it will fade, in the end you will probably have to give into needing sleep! See how goes, or maybe go to bed at different times for a while and see what happens!
