One in four couples don’t sleep in the same bed and that number may actually be even higher, since people aren't always forthcoming with this taboo information. But really, is falling asleep next to your partner just because that's how it is "supposed" to be truly that beneficial to your well-being, relationship, and mental health?
Maybe the issue isn’t even snoring - maybe it's the size of the mattress, the temperature of the bedroom, the fact that one of you has an incessant desire for noise while the other craves silence, or possibly all of the above. And most of us have just learned to succumb to the routine - roll with the punches, wake up tired, and smile about it all because you're with the one you love. If you've been in a long-term relationship, you've probably been there. You whisper your partner's name until they wake up, poke them in the shoulder until they roll over, or eventually, if you’re lucky, fall asleep to the rhythmic gurgles that echo through your queen size bed.
Right then, when your eyes become heavy and your breathing more relaxed, the snoring from the other side of the bed begins, as suddenly as a light switch being flicked.
You're up later than your partner thinking about work then, you’re too hot, too cold, you toss and turn, and eventually, start to scroll through your phone. It is often a challenge to get enough sleep - and being in a relationship can make getting a little shut-eye even more complicated.
