Sleep divorce is trendy: happily together, but with separate bedrooms

Are you happy together? Then you sleep apart. In America, it's hot and then it's just a matter of waiting until it blows over to our country: divorce sleeping, they call it. Sounds chic, but it mainly means that you both sleep in your own bedroom.

You are happily ever after married and you love your husband or wife. But yes, you need your sleep. Whether there are small children or not, you don't want to feel the tugging at the blankets at night. You are exhausted because the other snores so terribly. You love that other person intensely, but he or she tosses and turns so much in bed that you can't get a wink of sleep. And so you choose that sleep separation: no discussion, just a kiss goodnight and always going to sleep in your own bed and own room. Various studies show that many couples sleep apart due to snoring, different sleep habits, temperature preferences, or other factors that can disrupt a good night's sleep. For example, one person wants an ice-cold bedroom, while the other prefers to nap with the heating set to 22 degrees. Researchers estimate that somewhere between 10 and 25 percent of married or cohabiting couples sleep apart.

It's not so strange when you think about it: how you sleep determines how you function the whole day. For some couples, having separate bedrooms can have a positive impact on their relationship and overall well-being. It can lead to better sleep quality and more rest, which in turn can lead to a happier and healthier life. So it may seem like a big taboo or very unsociable, but sleeping is ultimately just sleeping. You can have a vibrant sex life without sleeping in the same bed. So do it without any guilt: if you're tired, you're just tired. Your love life only improves when you're well-rested. Your relationship is not unhealthy if you don't share a bedroom; just do what feels best for you. Sweet dreams, huh.
