Nightly forays: What are your suggestions about nighttime activity?

I’m sleeping on the couch now so we both sleep better. We are moving into an independent living apt ( where he can move to memory care) but it won’t be ready until Fall 2026. Our spare bedroom is downstairs so not safe. The couch is right outside our bedroom door.
Do I sleep in the couch for the next year or buy a split mattress?
With his progression, I’m afraid he will need memory care sooner than later.
We both are sleeping better with me on the couch.

My husband isn't happy about it, but I sleep so much better now that we sleep separately. It makes a huge difference in how I feel all day. Honestly, I can't imagine sleeping with anyone who has dementia or any other disruptive sleep condition. It's just good sense to let each person have the best rest possible.
