If your partner keeps coming up with excuses as to why you can’t cuddle at night, then get ready to win the debate because a new study says cuddling at night can help you sleep better!
According to a recent study, cuddling, snuggling or spooning with your partner can actually help you sleep longer and more deeply than if you were to both sleep separately in the same bed.
The researchers monitored 12 couples whose sleeping patterns were tracked in a lab using instruments that could measure how deep their sleep cycles were. The couples who shared a bed were more likely to move around during the course of the night, but they were also able to get more high-quality sleep.
Researchers concluded that these couples were able to synchronize their sleep patterns when sleeping together and made them less groggy when they were woken up.
Now the study didn’t include snorers, so you’re on your own if you date someone who snores!
