And that’s not the only thing: couples on holiday in places like Paris – where you might expect intimate time together to be a priority – are also switching to twin rooms; in a recently discovered phenomenon known as “sleep divorce”. I have an idea: people are choosing to prioritise their wellbeing, over the somewhat sanctimonious belief that to be truly happy together, you have to share a bed; and so sacrifice a solid night’s sleep – with all the painful ramifications that come with that. Science seems to back up the idea that our ability to regulate our emotions is reduced after a bad night’s sleep; and we now know that having as little as six hours sleep a night can lead to a 200 per cent increased risk of suffering a stroke or fatal heart attack. On the flip side: getting a good night’s sleep can help mediate your blood pressure – which is why missing out on a restful night can also negatively impact your cardiovascular system.
