People seem to think that it is better to sleep next to your partner because this means you are happy in your relationship. Does it mean that? It looks good, but how can it mean that? Being happy in a relationship is very personal and one factor, like sleep, is not the determiner of happiness.
If it makes you feel happy that Roger and Sally sleep in separate beds because you think you must be happier than them, because you sleep in the same bed as your husband, think again!
Slumber hours do not improve for most when another person is added to the mix. On average, people are woken up six times in the night by their partner from movement and sheet hogging and not to mention, the dreaded snoring!
Marriage counsellors have reported previously that morning people married to night people have higher divorce rates, so I guess separate beds, might solve this. But of course, there are some who love sleeping next to their partner, well at least in the first few years! The point of this article is not to upset those who love the closeness, it is just to point out that some partners are just not enjoyable to sleep next to and fact is fact.
If you partner is cheating on you, more than likely they are not sleeping in a separate bed and this is probably because to them, that might make their rendezvousing look obvious!
My point is sleeping in the same bed or not is totally personal and it could mean the marriage is strong and great and will last for decades to come or it could mean things are rocky – the bed situation is not the place to look for relationship success clarity!
