Two's a Crowd in a Bed
Tell me there's not a show in here somewhere ... turns out, couples aren't sleeping together anymore. It's getting more and more common for couples to sleep in separate bedrooms. Maybe one person snores, or she likes to read before getting some shut eye, or he likes to take the laptop to bed and pound on the keyboard for hours (or maybe he just needs the droning sound of a fan to help him sleep, and she doesn't like the noise or the breeze... hypothetically, I mean). The numbers back this up ... the National Association of Home Builders predicts that 60% of custom houses will have dual master bedrooms by 2015. His and hers bedrooms, basically. And men, listen up: a new study shows that sharing a bed with someone can actually make men dumber. (See, honey, it's not my fault that I never remember to take out the trash). That research also showed that women sleep more deeply when they share a bed. Though everyone agreed they get the best sleep when they're alone. Is that true? And if it is, is it worth losing a little sleep to curl up in the same bed at night?
