Why it is a must for people in a relationship to sleep together
Sleep is among the most important necessities of human life and more often than not, it’s taken for granted.
Experts continue to argue about how many hours of sleep we need to have.
But a latest report shows that couples or people in relationships enjoy better sleep.
First of all, it’s what they call the “Cuddle Chemical’.
As a chemical compound produced in the brain, oxytocin prompts feelings of empathy, trust, relaxation and reduced anxiety.
When we make physical contact with another human being, levels of oxytocin rise
Thus when you jump into bed and spoon with your bae, the chemical is released and you feel calm and protected.
Secondly, it’s the element of proximity.
According to one study from the University of Utah, an increase in reported sleep issues when people are temporarily separated from their bed partner due to business-related travel, for an example.
Meanwhile, another multi-year study conducted by the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine found that women in stable, long-term relationships slept better than single women or women who had a change in their sleeping arrangement.
