The Art of Couple Sleep - How Sharing a Bed Can Boost Your Mood and Wellbeing

Sleep is more than just rest. It's a vital part of our overall health and wellbeing. At Putnams, we understand the importance of quality sleep, and we're here to guide you through its many benefits, particularly those gained by sleeping together as a couple.

Our UK-made, comfort-enhancing pillows play a crucial role in this journey, providing the support you need for a good night's sleep.

As we grow older often times couples think that separate sleeping arrangements can be the answer to a good night's rest. 

Luckily, drastic measures are not always called for, especially when sleep professionals like ourselves are onside to guide you through these choppy waters!  

The Power of Two: Exploring the Health Benefits

Strengthened Emotional Bond

Sleeping together can strengthen your emotional bond. It's a time of intimacy, comfort, and security, where you can communicate without words.

This quiet connection can help deepen your relationship, fostering a sense of trust and mutual understanding. In this ever more disconnected world feeling of loneliness  

Improved Sleep Quality

Studies show that couples who share a bed often synchronize their sleep patterns, particularly during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage, which is associated with dreaming, learning, and memory consolidation.

This synchronization can lead to improved sleep quality over time. The synchronization also enhances the sense of comradery as you face whatever the world has to throw at you the next day. 

Lower Stress Levels

Physical contact, like cuddling or holding hands, boosts the production of oxytocin, sometimes referred to as the "love hormone."

This hormone has been linked to lower stress levels and blood pressure, promoting better heart health.

So the benefits of being together when possible just keep stacking up! 

Enhanced Mood

Sharing a bed can also boost your mood. The comfort of having your partner close by can lead to feelings of happiness and contentment, setting a positive tone for the day ahead.
