Poor sleep can put you in a bad mood, and people who are don’t get enough sleep are also more likely to argue with their partner according to Khosla. “There may be some resentment toward the person causing the sleep disruption which can negatively impact relationships," she said. The organization surveyed 2,005 adults. By generation, more millennials practice the occasional sleep divorce than other age groups -- at 43%. Meanwhile, 33% in Generation X said they do it; 28% of people in Generation Z; and 22% of Baby Boomers.
"There are benefits for some partners to sleep separately," Erin Flynn-Evans, a consultant to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine,."Studies demonstrate that when one bed partner has a sleep disorder it can negatively affect the other sleeper. For example, bed partners tend to wake up at the same time when one has insomnia.
