Getting a good night’s sleep is essential for overall well-being, but it can become more challenging when someone is sleeping beside you. From snoring to differing sleep patterns and positions, many couples have to navigate the challenges in achieving uninterrupted rest. However, sleeping next to someone you love can also promote deep REM sleep, the benefits include reduced anxiety, a sense of safety, better sleep quality, and the joy it brings to have someone to snuggle.
Despite the good vibes sleeping next to someone brings, there’s also the fact that your partner or yourself have different habits that can disrupt each other’s sleep patterns. The solution is creating a peaceful space within a space – being the shared bedroom – to make a positive difference and a more intimate connection to the dream state. One of the most prevalent issues couples face is noise, such as snoring or deep breathing, which can significantly disrupt one’s ability to fall or stay asleep. Noise cancelling ear plugs can block out the sound of snoring or other noises in the environment, providing a more serene atmosphere for the sleeper.
For those who are sensitive to light, an eye mask like SELFmask can be an effective tool. Light from TV’s, early morning sunrises, or even the glow of a phone screen can interrupt deep sleep cycles. By completely blocking out light, an eye mask helps signal to the brain that it’s time for rest, encouraging deeper, uninterrupted sleep. When sleeping with a partner who may have a different bedtime or wake-up time, the ability to block out external light becomes a crucial component in promoting restful sleep.
Consideration is key, take the time to wind down for sleep, discuss a bedtime routine that will be harmonious and work for both.
Additionally, wearing a soft and comfortable mask can help prevent disruptions caused by tossing and turning. Make sure you can achieve a mutual temperature by having bedding that works in conjunction with differing body temperatures.
It’s hard to avoid going to bed in a huff sometimes, if you have upset each other. Creating an intention to give yourself some time to sleep on it, often gives each other the opportunity to see things differently or from the other’s perspective. The out of sight, out of mind technique by using a Selfmask, lol.. provides the new light of day revelations to come through.
At the end of the day there’s nothing like snuggling up after a disagreement the morning after, knowing you have had the best sleep possible the night before with SELFmask.
