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?
Salma Hayek Looks HOT in New Bikini Photos, and We Can’t Believe She’s 57
ưSalma Hayek recently treated her followers to a collection of fresh bikini snapshots, sharing her stunning looks and her family’s response to the photos. Fans in the comments couldn’t help but shower her with praise for her confidence and beauty.
Salma recently shared some new photos where she’s wearing a cool dark blue bikini adorned with patterns, along with some stylish gold necklaces. In the pictures, she’s posing on a ladder attached to a boat, and it looks like someone from her family is spraying water at her. Salma jokingly captioned the photos, “When your family won’t let you take a bikini pic in peace.”
Salma is quite comfortable sharing her beach experiences on social media. In fact, she calls it liberating. She mentioned, “I had to lose a lot of weight and exercise to get into the bikini towards the end of last year. I’m glad I took a lot of pictures, I have no shame on it because it was the first week of the vacation.”
Salma’s recent photos sparked immediate interest from the public, drawing thousands of comments. One admirer remarked, “I thought these photos were from 20 years ago! Looking amazing as always.” Another chimed in, “…you are looking absolutely incredible in that bikini 👙 so inspirational.”
She let out the secret behind her fit body.
Salma revealed that she doesn’t exercise much because she has super long workdays, often stretching to 16 or even 20 hours. Instead of hitting the gym, her trainer showed her how to keep her muscles engaged throughout the day. Salma explained, “She taught me how to hold my body in a way where the muscles are activated all day long.”
Salma Hayek, who’s now widely celebrated as an icon, faced challenges earlier in her career. Surprisingly, she was restricted from showcasing her comedic talents because she was considered “too hot.”
