A Third Of Adults Look Forward To Doing THIS When Their Partner Isn’t Home
Is your partner wrecking your sleep? Cuddling up to the one you love in bed can be nice, but according to Talker, a new survey found, 82% of Americans admit their partner’s sleeping habits consistently wake them up during the night. That’s why 36% of them look forward to nights when they or their partner isn’t home and they get the whole bed to themselves.
The poll of 2-thousand U.S. adults who live with a partner finds:
- More than three-quarters (79%) share a bed with their significant other, while 10% sleep in different rooms, 9% sleep separately in the same room and 5% say it depends on the night.
- These numbers vary a lot by generation, as only 2% of Gen Z sleeps in a different room than their partner, compared to 18% of baby boomers.
- A snoring partner (52%) is the most common habit that disrupts people’s sleep, followed by scrolling through their phone in bed (33%), and getting up in the night to use the bathroom (33%).
- People also have trouble sleeping when their partner hogs the covers (27%), tosses and turns (25%) or “starfishes” across the bed (21%).
- Despite all of these annoyances, most couples say they’re not ready to consider a sleep divorce just yet.
- But those that have say it’s working for them, as 42% of those who sleep apart from their partner believe it’s “rejuvenated” their relationship and 23% say it’s improved their sex life, too.
- Overall, 70% of those who sleep in a separate bed than their partner believe their sleep quality has improved as a result.
- But just because their significant other isn’t in the bed doesn’t mean people are sleeping alone, as 20% say their kids under six sometimes sleep in their bed and 38% share their bed with a dog or cat.
- And 24% admit they’d rather sleep with their child and/or their pet than their partner.
