Blog:Separate beds
Dr Neil Stanley, a sleep expert at the University of Surrey, said: “It’s not surprising that people are disturbed by sleeping together.
“Historically, we have never been meant to sleep in the same bed as each other. It is a bizarre thing to do.
“Sleep is the most selfish thing you can do and it’s vital for good physical and mental health.
“Sharing the bed space with someone who is making noises and who you have to fight with for the duvet is not sensible.
“If you are happy sleeping together that’s great, but if not there is no shame in separate beds.”
He said there was a suggestion that women are pre-programmed to cope better with broken sleep.
