Sharing a Bed With Your Partner Could Have Unexpected Sleep Benefits, Study Finds

Even in the depths of sleep, your brain is not completely shut off from those around you.

The sound of snoring, the tugging of blankets, and the bumping of limbs are all registering on some level, and yet far from interrupting your sleep, new research suggests sharing a bed could actually make you feel like you've had a better night of rest.

At least, that is, when you're sleeping with a spouse or partner; if someone regularly sleeps with their child, they generally report greater insomnia than those who sleep alone.

The findings are based on survey responses and sleep scores from more than 1,000 working-age adults in the US, and they suggest that whom we sleep next to can impact how good we feel when we wake up.

Compared to those who slept alone, participants who shared a bed with their partner reported less fatigue and an ability to fall asleep faster and sleep longer.

This group also had lower depression, anxiety, and stress scores than those who slept alone.
