'I sleep divorced my husband and our sex life has never been better'

Modern life is a whirlwind, and getting a good night's sleep can be a struggle. Shockingly, around 51% of UK adults aren't catching enough Zs, averaging less than 6.5 hours per night, which can have a negative impact on our health and wellbeing.

In a surprising new study, it appears that the secret to a long and happy marriage might not be in romantic trips or date nights, but something far more unexpected – sleeping separately.The survey, conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, polled 2,000 people (1,000 men and 1,000 women) and revealed a growing trend among couples ditching the traditional shared bed for a 'sleep divorce', reports the Mirror.

This is when a couple decides to permanently sleep in separate beds or rooms to enhance their sleep quality. Dr Sham Singh, a sleep expert at WINIT Clinic, explains, "Disruptions from snoring, restlessness or conflicting sleep schedules significantly impacts how rested you feel each morning.

Sleep deprivation tends to lead to irritability and can reduce intimacy." 'Poor sleep made me exhausted and miserable' Ruth Ramsay, 49, from Buckinghamshire, has taken a bold step in her marriage by opting for a "sleep divorce" from her husband.
