Small houses and apartments do not stop many Japanese couples from sleeping in different beds or even in different rooms. This is not some kind of intimate issue or relationship problem, but something they believe is best for them.
They have different sleep schedules
The first thing that makes Japanese couples decide to sleep in bed separately are the different work schedules. If you wake up your partner when you come home late from work or when you get up early in the morning, according to them it results in a poor quality of his rest. This is why spending the night in another room makes sense. It will give them a restless and healthy sleep.
Children sleep with their mothers
Japanese mothers sleep with their children and this is considered very important, so the father has to decide if he wants to share the same bed or go to another room. Even science has proven that it can help parents and children get a more restful sleep. Helps the baby maintain a stable temperature and normal heartbeat and at the same time, reduces the chance of sudden infant death syndrome. Also, according to the Japanese, this contributes to the child having better self-esteem, becoming independent faster and doing well in school.
For them, sleeping apart means peace
While many couples who start sleeping just think divorce is on their doorstep, the Japanese see it differently. They value their sleep a lot and do not want to worry about it. This means that they do not see it as a problem at all, but as in order to have a healthier relationship. Even though some do not have the opportunity to sleep in different rooms, they still want to make their own beauty sleep.
