Sleep Divorce: If you are troubled by your partner's snoring or their strange sleeping habits, then you can take a 'sleep divorce' from them. If you are thinking that by taking a sleep divorce you will have to separate from your partner, then this is not the case at all, because this divorce does not break the relationship, but makes it stronger. A woman named Neha told that her married life is going on track. There is no discord, no fight, yet Neha does not sleep with her husband at night and sleeps in a separate room. One day a friend who came to Neha's house was surprised and asked the reason for this, because she thought that maybe she had a fight with her husband, but Neha laughingly told that there was no fight between us, we have just taken a 'sleep divorce'. Neha's friend was hearing these words for the first time. What is sleep divorce, let's know?
What is sleep divorce?
The word divorce conjures up a picture of separation between two people, but there is no such thing as 'sleep divorce'. Sleeping separately simply means that your sleep needs do not match your partner's. There is nothing strange about this in relationships and it is normal. Neha sleeps in a separate room from her husband just so that she can sleep peacefully at night. This concept of sleeping in a separate bed or separate room away from the husband is called 'sleep divorce'.
Sumit, a resident of Bhopal, is an IT professional. He was unable to sleep at night due to his wife's continuous snoring, due to which his health was deteriorating. In this regard, he contacted a psychiatrist and requested him to give him medicine to sleep peacefully at night, but the psychiatrist advised him to take a sleep divorce. Sumit talked to his wife and started sleeping in a separate room. Today he has overcome this problem.
It is difficult to say when the term sleep divorce was used for the first time, but this term has been read in newspapers and magazines since 2013. This term has also emerged rapidly in many recent research related to good sleep and health. Many experts associate good health with good sleep. They believe that sleep divorce not only strengthens relationships but also improves health.
Why the need to sleep separately?
Relationship experts have been of the opinion that sleeping together strengthens the marriage of husband and wife, then what is the need to sleep separately? Actually, despite having a normal relationship with the spouse, sometimes it is comfortable to sleep on separate beds. The fatigue of the whole day's work comes down on the bed. At this time we want peace. We want to sleep in our favorite posture, like by folding the legs, spreading them, changing sides and spreading on the bed, but this can cause trouble to the partner, due to which we are not able to sleep properly. Due to this either you are unable to sleep or you are not able to sleep deeply. This causes health and mental problems, so the need to sleep separately may be felt.
Why do women sleep less?
In today's time, the responsibility of both home and outside has fallen on the shoulders of the woman. She wakes up early in the morning and finishes the household chores. Preparing the children for school, cooking lunch for the husband and getting ready for her office is usually considered a part of her work. Then even after returning from office, she remains busy with work till late night. The result of this is that she is able to sleep for fewer hours. At the same time, her sleep gets disturbed due to the partner sleeping according to his choice, snoring or moving hands and legs while sleeping on the bed, due to which she is not able to sleep well.
this concept is old
The term sleep divorce may be new to us, but the concept of sleeping separately is not new to us. However, in joint families, after a certain age, the beds of the husband and wife are seen to be placed separately even if they are in the same room, which can have different reasons. Also, in our social system in old times, the bed of the men of the house, especially the elderly, was placed outside and the bed of women and children was placed in the inner courtyard or room. This system can still be seen in villages. In cities too, many working couples prefer to sleep separately, so that they can sleep peacefully. Sometimes a small house and having children are also the reason for this.
It is important to get enough sleep
Incomplete sleep can spoil the whole day. Incomplete sleep means - being tired and irritable throughout the day, not being able to concentrate on work, completing work reluctantly, increasing the possibility of mistakes and taking more time to complete the work. Thus our efficiency decreases. Due to fatigue and laziness, work is not completed on time. On the other hand, a full night's sleep keeps us fresh throughout the day, increases our efficiency, improves memory, helps in concentrating and also keeps away from depression. Doctors have always said that good sleep is very important for good health.
