Good Lifestyle

Sleeping together can pose difficulties for many couples. If some like to keep a strict routine, others regularly change their side of the bed, voluntarily or not. Surprisingly, this harmless habit can have a significant impact on the quality of sleep and even on the relationship. Let's explore together how to manage these small details to preserve the serenity of your bedroom.

Phone or tablet in bed: good or bad idea?

Bringing electronic devices like a phone or tablet to bed is a tempting but harmful habit. These devices emit blue light, even in night mode, which interferes with the production of melatonin, the hormone regulating sleep. Result: disturbed sleep and an increase in stress linked to work and various distractions. To preserve the quality of your nights, invest in a traditional awakening and leave your smartphone out of reach, in silent mode.

Eat in bed: a pleasure to avoid?

Although the idea of ​​breakfast in bed may seem romantic, eating in bed is not the best practice to guarantee restful sleep. Beyond the discomfort caused by crumbs or spots, your bed should remain mainly associated with sleep and privacy. Eating late can disrupt digestion and therefore alter the quality of sleep. Prefer to keep your meals away from the room so that your body clearly associates the bed with relaxation and rest.

Share the duvet or everyone?

For some couples, sharing a duvet is synonymous with comfort and privacy. But it can quickly become a source of conflicts if one of the partners constantly draws the coverage or if the temperature needs differ strongly. Having two separate duvets or blankets can be an excellent solution to sleep better together, each of them can regulate their own body temperature without disturbing the other. Adopting this habit can considerably improve the quality of sleep and avoid many nocturnal inconvenience.

Sleeping separately, is it really acceptable?

Sleeping separately is not necessarily a sign of crisis in a couple. Each partner with specific sleep needs, sleeping in separate rooms can be beneficial for some. This avoids sleep interruptions caused by snoring, different times or any other disruptive factor. Sleeping separately, keeping moments of intimacy at other times of the day, can strengthen a relationship by allowing everyone to recover better and to be more rested and happy.

Who should take care of the baby at night?

When a baby joins the home, the nights can become complicated. Generally, this task often goes to the parent who is breastfeeding or sleeping more slightly. However, it is essential that the other partner also contributes, in particular by taking care of more domestic tasks or baby care during the day. Alternating regularly can help balance responsibilities and prevent fatigue from weighing too much on one person.

And change the side of the bed then?

Changing or keeping the same side of the bed is a very personal decision that you alone can take but which has no scientifically proven impact on the quality of your sleep.

On the other hand, choose to sleep with or without a common duvet, or even decide whether or not to take your phone to bed: all these choices influence your night and daily well-being. By establishing clear and comfortable habits for everyone, you guarantee that your room remains an optimal rest place, thus preserving your relationship as much as your sleep.
