Sounds a bit weird but yes this is what new research has suggested. According to Dr Neil Stanley, decent night's sleep is more important than cosying up with your partner. Research evidence suggests that sharing a bed is bad for sleep. One study found that if one partner moved in his or her sleep there was a 50% chance of it disturbing the other.
"If you want to live a happy and healthy life, diet and exercise are important but so is sleep," said Dr Stanley, speaking at the University of Surrey in Guildford.
Dr Stanley, who set up one of Britain's leading sleep laboratories at the University of Surrey, said poor sleep was linked to depression, heart disease, strokes, lung disorders, traffic and industrial accidents, and divorce. Yet sleep was largely ignored as an important aspect of health.He said the modern tradition of sleeping together began with the industrial revolution, when people moving to overcrowded towns and cities found themselves short of living space however before the Victorian era it was not uncommon for married couples to sleep apart.

That's a very interesting concept and it's realistic. Of course with another person in the room and in bed you are more likely to be disturbed, but who knows.. maybe some people sleep better with someone else rather than being alone.
ReplyDeleteYou have written a very good article. I totally agree with everything I read. It’s good to read an article about weight loss that is just common sense.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds crazy and weird too. Next day the report will come saying small kids should be separated from parents for healthier sleep.
ReplyDeleteIt's plausible that this could significantly improve sleep quality. It might be true for western cultures that couples used to sleep apart, but may not necessarily be true for other cultures.
ReplyDeleteIn any case, we can always try to adapt this method temporarily, say 30 days, and see if we can feel any improvement to our health and mood.

ReplyDeleteVery Nice topic,i just like your work !!! Excellent work .
ReplyDeleteI think there is some truth to the study but as previously mentioned some people do sleep better with another person in bed. Also, affection and touch is beneficial to health.
