Couples Sleeping In Separate Rooms Becomes Trendy
What few years would happen because of sleeping disorders today seems to be trendy or so to speak. In a recent article of New York Times titled: married but sleeping alone BRUCE FEILER goes into more details with famous celebrities sleeping alone and some of the causes that makes couples to sleep in separate rooms.
When once the reasons of sleeping in a separate room from your partner were: heavy and disturbing snoring or just simply being mad with your partner today the causes seem to extend in the technological field, jumping from TV, Radio to iPhone and partner following Twitter or checking his Facebook before going to bed and perhaps keeping on till late night. The light of the partners laptop or iPhone during night indeed can be disturbing, as the light and voice of TV or Radio.
Healthy Living, a division of Yahoo Inc. talks about this same matter in an article titled more couples sleeping apart: is this healthy? and I can honestly see where the question comes from. With our busy work schedule we have less and less time to spend with our partner, the perfect moment are those nights were we can cuddle with our partner under the sheets, talk about our stressful (or pleasant) day at work. It is the perfect time to communicate with our partner and not become complete strangers. So really, is it healthy for your relationship to sleep in separate rooms? Do you really feel the need to get disconnected from your partner even in those few hours before bed time?
I guess the real reasons for sleeping in separate rooms from your partner are now becoming just excuses, excuses that make someone to feel “trendy”, the latest survey made from the National Sleep Foundation in 2005 reported that 1 out of 4 couples sleep in separate rooms, and similar results were shown for studies in England and Japan, all technologically well developed countries.
If being trendy means that I have to sleep in a separate room from my partner, then I will make sure not to get married at all and get a dog instead, even tho that would not be fair even to an animal to use him just for my selfish needs of not being alone in this world.
