Why Do Married Couples in Japan Sleep Separately

Smaller houses and apartments don’t stop many Japanese couples from sleeping in different beds or even rooms. This is not some kind of an intimate issue or problem with the relationship, but something that they believe is good for them.

We at Bright Side found out why married couples in Japan choose to sleep separately, and we really like their reasons.

They have different sleep schedules.

The first thing that makes Japanese couples decide to go to bed separately is different work schedules. Waking up your significant other just because you got home late from work or have to leave early won’t result in good quality rest for them. This is why spending the night in a different room makes sense. This will give them both an undisturbed and healthier sleep.

Babies sleep with their mothers.

Japanese mothers sleep with their children and this is considered very important, so the father needs to decide if he wants to share the same bed or go to a different room. Even science has proven that co-sleeping can help parents and children get a more restful sleep. It helps the child to maintain a stable temperature and heart rate (which is really critical in infancy) and at the same time, it decreases the chance of sudden infant death syndrome. Also, this contributes to the child having better self-esteem, becoming independent faster, and doing great in school.

For them, sleeping separately means peace.

While many couples who start to sleep alone think that divorce is at their door, the Japanese see it differently. They value their sleep a lot and they don’t want to be disturbed while sleeping. This means that they don’t need and don’t like to put up with snoring, restless sleep, kicking, etc. Even though some don’t have the opportunity to sleep in different rooms, they still wish they could get their beauty sleep.

Couples have a history of sleeping separately.

Futons are filled with cotton, which provides support and comfort. In the past, only single sized ones were used as beds. So, even if you wanted to cuddle up with your loved one, you would have ended up between the sheets, on the cold floor, and you wouldn’t feel comfortable. Today there are families that still use this type of bedding, especially because it doesn’t take up a lot of space and it is easy to store.

Do you sleep separately from your partner? Do you think this type of practice might be even better for your relationship?

JENNIFER ANISTON PRAISED FOR SHOWING OFF ‘GORGEOUS’ GREY HAIR: ‘REFRESHING’

The Friends star was praised by fans after showcasing her natural hair colour on Instagram for the first time, with many branding it “refreshing”.

Just call it “The One With the Grey Hair.”

Jennifer Aniston is earning praise on Instagram for embracing her natural silver strands in a post announcing the latest launch from her haircare brand, LolaVie.

The 54-year-old’s new Intensive Repair Treatment is meant to be used once a week after shampooing to “reduce breakage and repair the look of existing damage while protecting from future damage,” per the product description.

“Sleep in it, an hour, whatever you want,” the Murder Mystery star recommended in an Instagram Reel.

Fans expressed their excitement over the launch in the comments section — and applauded Aniston for not hiding her own grey roots.

“Well done for allowing grey to come through – refreshing,” one wrote.

“So nice to see. And she’s obviously still gorgeous,” someone replied.

“I hope she stays natural – it’s much more attractive,” a third enthused.

Aniston has been famous for her luscious locks since her Friends days, having made “The Rachel” — her character’s signature shoulder-length, layered ‘do — a national sensation in the ’90s.

But these days, the Morning Show star doesn’t shy away from showing off her natural hair.

In November, Jen struck a post-shower pose on Instagram before styling her damp waves with a little help from LolaVie.

Aniston announced the launch of LolaVie in 2021. Now, the popular celebrity beauty brand even counts fellow Brad Pitt ex Gwyneth Paltrow as a fan.
