About this episode
Sleeping next to your partner can be comforting, but it also means dealing with snoring, night sweats, or fighting for space on a too-small mattress. For some couples, the trade-off isn’t worth it. A recent study by Apinio for the Emma mattress brand found that one in three couples continue to love each other but choose to sleep in separate bedrooms. According to Nuffield Health’s 2023 Healthier Nation Index, only 36% of UK adults rated their sleep as 'good', with the average person getting just 5.91 hours per night - well below the recommended 7.5 to 8.5 hours.
