Sleep divorce is a growing trend among couples where they choose to sleep in separate beds, rooms or have a different sleeping arrangement

There is a lot of stigma and shame associated with it as sleeping apart was traditionally stigmatized and linked with failing relationships

However, sleeping apart is becoming more popular every day, as couples embrace the notion that quality sleep is essential for overall well-being

Sleeping in separate beds typically happens because at least one person isn't getting quality sleep because of their partner

Some reasons could be- different sleep schedules, restless movements, disruptive habits, snoring, sleep apnea etc

Though it's an uncoventional idea, many couples say that it leads to significant improvements in their well-being and strengthens their bond

According to some doctors, that can be a boon to the quality of your sleep, especially for those who are being kept awake by their partner's issues

Though some say that it might affect intimacy and create emotional distance if partners don't find a way to compensate for this time to connect

So, it is important to act on what works best among partners in a relationship

Sleep divorce works as long as there is love, consent, and trust between partners
