Martin Seeley, CEO and sleep expert and MattressNextDay said: “I have often heard couples consider sleep divorce for better sleep quality. While this decision might at first seem unconventional, it can indeed have benefits. Sleeping apart can significantly improve sleep quality for partners facing issues like snoring, different sleep schedules, or disruptive sleep habits. 

Quality sleep is crucial for overall health and well-being.

Always be careful when approaching this conversation. But to get a better night’s sleep creating a relaxing bedtime routine together, respecting each other’s space, and initiating a trial period can all help separate sleep arrangements run smoothly. 

Every relationship is unique, and what works for one couple might not work for another. Therefore, finding a balance that prioritizes both partners’ sleep quality and emotional connection is key. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure that both partners experience restful sleep while maintaining a healthy and thriving relationship.”
