Do You Have a “Couple” of Sleep Problems?

February 4, 2010 – 7:40 pm

Did you know that by a couple’s 20th wedding anniversary, they’ll have spent roughly six to seven years together in bed?

For the other 77 percent of couples that do sleep together, the National Sleep Foundation survey indicates that one partner loses an average of 49 minutes of sleep per night due to some disruptive behavior, such as snoring, tossing and turning, watching TV, or preferring a hot or cold room. So before resorting to separate beds or bedrooms, identify and attempt to resolve those disruptive conflicts that might develop.
