Modern life is a whirlwind, and getting a good night's sleep can be a struggle. Shockingly, around 51% of UK adults aren't catching enough Zs, averaging less than 6.5 hours per night, which can have a negative impact on our health and wellbeing.
In a surprising new study, it appears that the secret to a long and happy marriage might not be in romantic trips or date nights, but something far more unexpected ā sleeping separately. The survey, conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, polled 2,000 people (1,000 men and 1,000 women) and revealed a growing trend among couples ditching the traditional shared bed for a 'sleep divorce', reports the Mirror.

Dr Sham Singh, a sleep expert at WINIT Clinic, explains, "Disruptions from snoring, restlessness or conflicting sleep schedules significantly impacts how rested you feel each morning. Sleep deprivation tends to lead to irritability and can reduce intimacy."
'Poor sleep made me exhausted and miserable'Ruth Ramsay, 49, from Buckinghamshire, has taken a bold step in her marriage by opting for a "sleep divorce" from her husband. She explains: "In my mid-forties, my husband's snoring, restless leg syndrome and general thrashing around in his sleep all got too much and I was exhausted and miserable. I attributed some of it to being perimenopausal ā I thought my sleep was just naturally getting worse through ageing. Sometimes I'd take a sleeping pill in desperation to try to feel like I'd had a full night.
"We didn't think we had space to sleep separately, and as a very close and romantic couple, the concept felt wrong. But then my husband decided to sleep on the floor for a few nights due to a bad back. It was a revelation. I slept soundly every night and after a few days I had so much more energy.

"We discussed him staying on a mattress on the floor Monday to Friday so I could get a good sleep on work days, with him sleeping in the bed on the weekends.
"This became our new routine, but after one night trying to sleep with him next to me again, the novelty would wear off! " "We just about had space in our bedroom to squeeze a single bed next to our king-sized one, so he built a frame and invested in an orthopaedic single mattress that's great for his back. Now we have our own beds, six inches apart.
"We both sleep much better now. He can move around without disturbing me and I get to stretch out like a princess. We have more energy, a positive mindset and more libido. Far from ruining our marriage and sex life, sleeping apart has improved both.
