Couples Bed Apart to get Some Sleep

The best relationships are probably ones where there is at least two to three miles between sleeping arrangements.

Perhaps this is proven by a poll showing three quarters of those in a relationship have resorted to getting some kip in a room away from their partner, with as many as a third doing it at least once a month.

Loud snoring is the most common reason for breaking up couples during the night. Secondly, conflicting sleep schedules also caused sleep annoyances, followed by 17 per cent of parents co-sleeping with children removing their partner from the bed in order to do so.

Hillarys.co.uk, carried out the survey, polling more than 2000 people for the results.

Two thirds of couples believe it’s helped their relationship survive the sleep arguments with separate bedrooms.

But it’s not the solution for everyone. A 37 per cent said that the separate room sleeping actually caused arguments, with 59 per cent believing it wasn’t a healthy thing to do on a regular basis.
