Couples Should Sleep Separately

Khaberni - Separate bedrooms are usually seen as a troubling indicator for relationships, but sleep experts and marriage therapists point out that the issue is not in separate beds, but in chronic sleep deprivation.
According to experts, this is more harmful to the couple than the abandonment of traditions and norms.

Experts note that in this case, a logical question arises in many people's minds: Does sleeping alone lead to a lack of intimacy? Their answer is not necessarily. Moreover, many couples need to sleep separately two or three times a week only to regain energy and reduce stress without losing intimacy.

Psychologists confirm that sleeping separately does not necessarily mean emotional distancing. Because partners can hug and talk before going to sleep, then each can go to their own bed to sleep. This approach helps maintain both sleep quality and the relationship.

But how can this topic be raised with a partner without hurting their feelings? Experts advise having a candid and calm conversation without making accusations. For example, one might say: "It's important to me that we maintain closeness, but without a good night's sleep, I feel discomfort the next day."

According to experts, it is important to clarify that sleeping separately does not mean coldness and distancing, but rather mutual care and the desire to maintain harmony between the couple.
