Does bed size actually matter...or is it just about who steals the duvet?
Orthopaedic Surgeon drjude_ gives us the low down on how to get a better night’s sleep when you’re sharing your bed.
“Research shows couples who share a bed often have better sleep outcomes - less insomnia, less fatigue, more total sleep time, and even increased deep and REM sleep. I call it “sleep alignment.” When you feel safe and connected, your nervous system settles.
But here’s the catch.
If your partner tosses, turns, snores, or gets up frequently, those tiny movements can cause micro-arousals - brief disruptions you may not remember, but that fragment your sleep architecture and chip away at REM. You wake up groggy without knowing why.
As an orthopaedic surgeon, I see both sides:
❤ The relationship benefit
😴 The recovery cost
For many couples, the solution isn’t separate bedrooms - it’s more space and bet...
