The research, which was carried out by Ryerson University in Toronto, found that between 30% and 40% of couples sleep apart at night, but the separation could actually be beneficial towards their relationship, rather than cause harm.
Using brain scans, researchers discovered that couples who sleep together do not reach the deeper stages of sleep.
Speaking to CBC, Colleen Carney, the author of the study, explained: "People will say they sleep better [together], but when we actually monitor their brains... they're continuously being woken up by movement or sound. It creates a lot of problems."
Dr Carney added that rather than continuing to wake a partner up during the night, couples should consider separate sleeping arrangements for a better night's rest – and ultimately, a happier relationship. She also dismissed the idea that couples who do not share a bed have an 'unromantic' relationship.
She added: "People can have very good and satisfying relationships sleeping apart. Some people might be headed to divorce and then they actually sleep apart and find this new way to connect."
