A health expert has urged couples not to sleep next to each other in the same bed because it could impact their sleep quality. Dr Karan Rajan, a doctor who shares medical advice online, has issued a warning that sleeping in the same bed as your partner can interfere with your sleep and overall health.
The doctor said that if your partner snores or moves around too much while asleep, this will probably prevent you from entering REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, which is the deepest stage of a person's sleep cycle. It’s necessary for people to get a decent night’s sleep for good overall health and well-being.
It can have a serious physical and psychological effect if you're lacking from good sleep, reports the Mirror. In a TikTok video, Dr Rajan, who works as a surgeon and lecturer at the University of Sunderland, shared that everyone will have a different sleep cycle.
