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.
