Health Benefits of Sleeping with a Partner
“Sleeping with a loved one comes with numerous benefits. Some of the main ones include decreased anxiety, improved insomnia, and increased relationship connection.”
- Dr. Nilong Vyas
You can try several strategies to improve your shared sleep experience, no matter the problem. Here are proven tips to help you and your partner sleep better tonight:
1. Establish guidelines.
“Differences in a partner’s sleep habits can be overcome if specific rules are followed, such as turning off the TV once it’s sleep time and not having distracting sounds in the bedroom.”
- Dr. Nilong Vyas
2. Resolve issues before bed.
“When partners are stressed after a fight, and still in the fight or flight mode, hormones in the body aren’t conducive to sleep. So try not to go to bed angry.”
- Dr. Nilong Vyas
3. What mattress minimizes movement when a partner gets in or out?
“Invest in a mattress that doesn’t move too much when one partner gets in and out of bed.”
- Dr. Nilong Vyas
4. Regulate the Temperature of Your Bed.
“You can also place a fan or portable air conditioning unit near the hotter sleeper or even use separate comforters so temperature shifts can be managed individually.”
- Dr. Nilong Vyas
5. Use Separate Comforters for Each Person.
“Trying this same strategy at home may be a game-changer if one of you is a sheet hog, which is how I manage this issue with my husband.”
- Dr. Nilong Vyas
