Despite what Agony Aunt columns might preach, sleeping separately from your partner might actually bring you closer together, rather than push you apart.
Let’s face it, we’ve all been kept awake by our other half snoring from time to time, or been clocked in the head by a flailing limb on the odd occasion. There’s a lot to be said for the correlation between personal space and good rest!
So, if you’re worried about whether sleeping in separate beds might lead to divorce, fear not! We’re here to dispel the miserable myths and instead reveal some benefits of having a bedroom all to yourself.
Is sleeping in separate beds normal?
Of course it is! It was normal all the way through your childhood, teenage years and single adulthood, so why should it be weird now that you’ve fallen in love?

Sometimes social constructs start to feel a little Big Brother-esque and we think too much about what others think about our habits behind closed doors, when actually you should do what works best for you, when you want to.
