The study, which was commissioned by bed maker Warren Evans, found that work and busy social lives are to blame for couples not going to bed together anymore. For example, of the 2,000 people who participated in the poll, 75% admitted they regularly say goodnight at a different time to their other half – with one in four said they almost always end up doing so.
Many turn in alone as their partner is at work or has different office hours, while others are maybe surfing the internet in another room. For some couples, they said their other half may be on a night out with friends, while others are in bed alone because their partner decided to stay up and watch a television show or sports game that they had recorded earlier.
While different bed times appear to be the norm for many couples, over a third of those polled admitted that they do argue with their other half about the issue – as their sleep pattern is often disturbed because of their partner's different sleeping pattern. For those sleeping in a smaller bed, respondents are 49% more likely to be woken by their partner four nights a week or more, compared to those sleeping in a king-sized bed or larger.
For three in 10 people, they added that they would often go as far as to spend the night in a different room to their other half just to they don't disturb them. This can also put pressure on the relationship, with many saying they missed the closeness of going to sleep with their partner.
Dave Gibson, sleep advisor, is quoted by the MailOnline as saying: "The evenings are often the only chance people get to relax and break from a hectic routine and so people want to make the most of it but this often leads to a later bedtime – meaning poorer sleep quantity and the problem of waking a partner who has already gone to bed.
"It's really important that couples have enough room to move comfortably in bed. Our modern lifestyle with longer work hours and our use of technology right up to bedtime means that many adults find it hard to switch off when getting into bed.
"Not only are we getting less than the recommended safe hours of sleep, but once asleep couples are often woken by their partners. This means that they are even less likely to get their required deeper REM sleep."
