SLEEP WE NEED IT

COUPLES IN GOOD RELATIONSHIPS SLEEP BETTER


Are you happy at home sleeping well?

Research has shown that relationship satisfaction and sleep quality might be linked.

The study took 29 heterosexual couples who didn’t have children. (What if you have children?)

Each partner completed sleep diaries for seven days and also recorded interactions with their partner six times a day.

Among men, a good night’s sleep was linked with positive ratings of relationship quality the next day, the researches found among women, negative daytime interactions with their partner resulted in poor sleep quality that night for both them and their partner.

When the research team looked at all the data on a day-by-day basis, there seems to be a vicious cycle in which affects next day relationship functioning affects the subsequent night’s sleep.

In this cycle, conflict with one’s partner during the day leads to worse sleep that night, which leads to more conflict the following day.

These results are from a small sample group, so don’t get too crazy.

The woman’s perceptions of the relationship seems particularly important as it impacts both her own and her partners subjective sleep quality that night.



Now here is a real kick in the butt, when the researchers were documenting their findings, they found out that it was best to resolve disputes before going to bed, adding the difficult should be postponed until both parties had had a good night sleep.

These findings were presented in Seattle, Washington in a small meeting with all the Professional Sleep Societies.
