When it comes to sleep, both quantity and quality matter. Sadly, one-third of Americans are not getting the recommended minimum of 7 hours of sleep, and fewer are sleeping well. If you are one of these people, you may wish to sleep in your own bed. This may sound sacrilegious if you are married, but many couples have found they sleep longer and deeper when they sleep apart. After intimacy and retiring to separate bedrooms, couples find that they appreciate each other more once they reunite in the morning. If you need to improve your sleep, you may wish to give this a trial run for 30 days.
