Many still believe that separate bedrooms are a direct path to the destruction of relationships, and sleeping side by side, on the contrary, brings them together. If this were so, marriages in which spouses strictly observe this rule would not break up. From the fact that you do not share a bed with a partner every night, your union can only benefit.
1. Complete sleep
If you have been sleeping embracing for many years, then you have probably forgotten what it is like when you are completely relaxed in a dream and nothing bothers you. Studies show that partners who sleep together wake each other up to six times a night. The reasons are very different: snoring, movement, pulling the blanket. Even if you manage to fall asleep immediately, the normal rhythm of sleep is already disturbed. This negatively affects health, which in turn affects relationships.
2. Sex only by mutual desire
When partners sleep together, one of them feels entitled to initiate intimacy. Separate sleep avoids disappointment due to the fact that you are forced to refuse or agree, just so as not to offend your loved one.
3. Feeling your own sexuality
If you sleep apart at least from time to time, this allows you to maintain interest in each other and the novelty of an intimate life. In addition, quality sleep has a positive effect on your body: it helps you avoid overeating, gives you energy for physical activity, which helps you feel healthier, more attractive and sexy.
4. The value of intimacy
Agree, we really appreciate only what we lose. Even a brief “separation” makes it possible to enjoy physical intimacy: touches, hugs, kisses that you and your partner give to each other.
5. Fewer fights
Frequent awakenings make us more irritable, and we break down on the closest person. If we suffer from the fact that his snoring or restless sleep does not allow us to get enough sleep, but at the same time we firmly believe that we should sleep together, this turns the common bed into a trap.
When we get enough sleep, this allows us to be more careful with our partner, avoid quarrels and hurtful words, which we later regret.
6. Meeting with yourself
Most of the time, we don’t have much time during the day to be alone with ourselves. Co-sleeping robs us of the personal space that is so necessary to comprehend and reflect on the experiences of the day.
The decision to sleep separately does not mean that from now on you will no longer share a bed until morning. You can only be separated from time to time. And, believe me, if this is not a demonstrative gesture, your relationship will not suffer from this.
