Should Couples Actually Sleep Apart? Sharing a bed isn’t just about whether you sleep together; it’s how you sleep together.   Spooning might feel cozy, but it can lead to overheating. Back-to-back can reduce disturbances but might make you feel less connected. And then there’s the classic “one person takes over the entire bed” situation.   The position you and your partner default to can quietly affect sleep quality, temperature, and even how often you wake up during the night.   Some positions strike the right balance between comfort and connection. Others… not so much. See the Best Sleep Positions for Couples Sleep Quiz Who actually needs more sleep: men or women?   A. Men need more sleep than women B. Women need more sleep than men C. They need the same amount D. It depends only on age   Sleep patterns, hormones, and even how often you wake up during the night can differ more than most people realize.
