Separate Beds for a Better Night’s Sleep?

The Sleep Council says that one in four of us regularly retreats to a spare room or sofa for a refreshing night’s sleep, and the National Association of Home Builders predicts that by 2015 more than 60 per cent of custom-built houses will have dual master bedrooms. This is the right approach, say an increasing number of psychologists and sleep experts.

That, according to an article from the TimesOnline. The article goes on to point to a host of sleep disruptors such as snoring, wrestling for the covers, kicking during dreams, and incompatible sleep schedules, among others. The article also includes a “case study” of a couple with sleep compatibility challenges, with advice from an expert.

If you’re experiencing sleep-related challenges with your bed partner, the question is: Are you secure enough in your relationship to consider sleeping apart?
