summary

This article from The New York Times discusses the potential benefits and drawbacks of couples sharing a bed for sleep. It explores the concept of 'sleep divorce,' where couples choose to sleep in separate beds or even bedrooms to improve their sleep quality. The article explains that while sharing a bed can create a sense of intimacy and closeness, it can also lead to disturbances and sleep disruptions. It cites studies that suggest couples may experience better sleep when sleeping alone, as they have less chance of being disturbed by their partner's movements or sleep issues. The article acknowledges that the decision to share a bed or not is highly personal and depends on individual preferences and circumstances.
