You might think sleeping in seperate beds is the beginning of the end for a couple... Not so, says millennial Sophie Haslett.
It began one Sunday night when I had a presentation at work the following day and my boyfriend wanted to set his alarm for the ungodly hour of 3 AM to watch live English Premier League Football. “Why don’t you sleep in the spare room, so you don’t wake me up?” I asked sweetly, tentatively, in case he thought I was being cruel. But, after finally moving into our own place, for the first time, we had two bedrooms at our disposal. Why not make the most of it?
Confused, but unhurt, he did. Or does, I should say, ‘cos these days, several nights a week, one of us will turn down the hall. “What?” you say. “You live together, you’re 27 years old and you sleep on separate beds? Isn’t that for couples in their seventies, partners with bad snoring problems or solely reserved for after an epic argument?”
I mean, it could well be for others, but for us, you can talk about killing emotional connections all you want— sometimes there is no better feeling than slipping between the sheets solo. I can read for as long as I want, I can sleep unhindered by someone else wriggling next to me, snoring is a non-issue and I wake up refreshed the next day.
