Women Sleep Worse Next To Their Mates

No, this article isn’t exactly about insomnia, but I trust you’ll see the link. A recent study by the University of Vienna and published in the journal Sleep and Biological Rhythms found that women sleep less soundly when they share a bed with a romantic partner, such as their husband. It seems that women’s sleep was more fragmented - they woke up more - during the night when sleeping with a partner than when sleeping alone. Women tend to be more sensitive to their partner’s movement and noises (such as snoring) and this disrupts sleep. This appears to be another reason over 60% of women report sleep problems. Conversely, men slept better next to their mates than alone. Though the researchers stop short of recommending separate beds, they do encourage couples facing this issue to throughly explore all possible remedies to improve women’s sleep.
