After getting married, most couples share a bed. It could be considered a red flag in a marriage relationship if they share solitary rooms. This is because it is dependent on the culture and customs in the whole society. Some British doctors disagree and argue that couples should sleep apart. They can then adopt a “sleep divorce” (sleep separation), which is better for each of them.
The British National Health Service doctor Karan Raj is a well-known internet celebrity. He uses short videos to share common medical knowledge and treatments, which is very popular with netizens.
Raj stated in a short film that even though it is assumed that couples will sleep together, two people sharing a bed in the same room can have a negative impact on their quality of sleep. He recommended that couples consider a “sleep divorce” approach.
In the short film, he stated clearly: “You should always rest alone.” It will hinder you from getting deep, restful sleep.
He explained that not everyone’s sleeping cycles (Sleep Cycle) are the exact same. This can lead to one or two long-term sleepless nights.
He also said that sharing a bed with another person will raise body temperature. This will make it harder for them to fall asleep.
He stated that “the key to falling asleep is the reduction in your core body temperature.” It takes more time to fall asleep if you sleep in the same bed as someone else.
Some netizens responded to Raj’s comments and said, “Excuse us, can we normalize that?” Although I love my husband, I don’t like sleeping with him. He believes it is awful for me to think this way. “
Another netizen stated: “My husband is my own bedroom. We finally get the best sleep after 31 years of marriage.
