Sleep divorce: Do separate beds make for happier couples? Here's what science says

Hindustan Times  

According to the recent Hilton 2025 Trends report, a growing number of couples are embracing 'sleep divorce' while on vacation, opting for separate beds to prioritise rest and personal space. Millennial couples sleeping apart to stay together An American Academy of Sleep Medicine study from 2023 found 35 percent of 2,005 adults surveyed sleep in another room ‘on occasion’ or consistently to accommodate a bed partner – almost half of millennials do so. “Research indicates that up to 30 percent of an individual’s sleep quality is influenced by their partner’s sleep,” a public education brief released by the Sleep Research Society said. Interestingly, in one 2017 study, researchers with the Ohio State University College of Medicine found that when both partners got less than seven hours of sleep the previous two nights, the couple was more likely to behave more negatively when discussing a marital issue.
