Doctor warns couples against sharing a bed saying you should always sleep alone

One expert has advised couples to avoid sleeping together in the same bed if they want to get a proper night’s sleep, and warned of the damaging effect that sharing a bed can have on a person’s health.

For example, if your partner ends up moving around too much in their sleep, or if they snore, they will most likely prevent you from entering the rapid eye movement or REM phase of sleep, which is the deepest stage of the cycle. This is according to Dr Karan Rajan.

Sleep is essential for a person’s overall health and wellbeing, which means that a lack of it can have a serious impact, physically and psychologically.
