Couples who sleep in separate rooms see no lack of intimacy, only quality sleep
Michael Solender and his wife have been together for 42 years. They slept in the same bed for the first 10, taking to separate rooms after that.
“For us to maintain separate rooms for sleep just makes for a healthier relationship and a better relationship,” said Solender, 66. “There’s no shame attached to that. There’s no stigma.” Studies indicate that people who consistently experience poor sleep are more likely to experience conflict with their partners, said Khosla, who is the medical director of the North Dakota Center for Sleep, in Fargo.
Key to making separate sleep spaces work is talking about it beforehand, as Solender did with his wife. Tracey Daniels and her husband have been sleeping apart for about four years. Initially, there was no big talk. She just headed to the guest room. Dr. Phyllis Zee, chief of sleep medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and director of a sleep clinic at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, said sleep separation is common in her practice.
