Snoring, spatial issues and sleep patterns are just a few of the reasons couples choose to sleep apart
From the curator: It's becoming far more acceptable to have separate beds these days. What would be better than that is for people with sleep apnea and snoring problems to actually treat their issues so they could be healthy and happy. Sleeping in the other room doesn't really fix the actual problem (and no, the suffering spouse is not the actual problem).

Want a good night's sleep? Let your PET share your bed: Researchers find animals can keep us 'safe and secure' at night

From the Curator: Let's do more studies. As a former sleep technologist, the majority of patients I saw who slept with pets at home slept better without them in the lab and reported as much in their follow ups. Granted, my observation is anecdotal, and I understand that some people with extreme anxiety do need a pet to relax at night, but I'm not yet convinced that pets are a sleep saver.
