Less resentment
The sleep deprivation that came from sharing a bed also came with a lot of resentment. I can’t count the number of nights when my partner accidentally kicked me, or closed the bathroom door too loudly, and woke me up, and then I couldn’t fall back asleep for hours. I’d spend the next day tired and angry with him. I would perform poorly at work. I’d need to nap, which robbed me of time I wanted to spend on something else. And I blamed my partner entirely. Some people fear that sleeping separately kills the love. You know what really kills the love? Sleeping together, sleeping poorly because of it, and then resenting each other.
