What Is A Sleep Divorce? | Matthew Walker

Sleep is one of the most important aspects of our life, health and longevity and yet it is increasingly neglected in twenty-first-century society, with devastating consequences: every major disease in the developed world - Alzheimer's, cancer, obesity, diabetes - has very strong causal links to deficient sleep.

In this book, the first of its kind written by a scientific expert, Professor Matthew Walker explores twenty years of cutting-edge research to solve the mystery of why sleep matters. Looking at creatures from across the animal kingdom as well as major human studies, Why We Sleep delves into everything from what really happens during REM sleep to how caffeine and alcohol affect sleep and why our sleep patterns change across a lifetime, transforming our appreciation of the extraordinary phenomenon that safeguards our existence.

I like to sleep with a fan on, I take awhile to fall asleep, and I toss and turn. As a bonus, I'm wide awake from 3-5am then go back to sleep.
My boyfriend needs silence and no movement to sleep and he will wake up at the drop of a hat.
People thought it was a bad sign we decided to sleep in separate rooms but we feel so much better. And we still share the space, we just sleep apart.

I am the lightest sleeper. AND a sleepwalker with REM sleep disorder. Having my own room to not feel guily about ruining someone else's sleep gives me 50XP rest points. Trying to be still while you sleep... Omg no.

And there are also some people who DO sleep together but really should not, hhmmm?
