Research results show that when a man shares a bed with his partner, even if they do not have a close sexual relationship, their sleep patterns can be disrupted, which in turn can affect the man's performance on the mental agility test the next day.
However, women do not encounter this problem. Researchers say that although women sharing a bed with their partner can also disrupt their sleep patterns, when they truly fall asleep, they tend to enjoy better quality sleep. This means that their brain power has not decreased as a result.
Professor Gilhard Klosk of the University of Vienna, Austria, is the leader of the research project. During the research process, the scientific research team led by Professor Closco recruited 8 young couples who were not married and had no children. Professor Krosko asked the young partners involved in the study to sleep in separate beds for 10 nights and sleep together for 10 nights, and monitored their sleep patterns through monitors on their wrists and sleep diaries. And they were tested on their thinking or cognitive abilities the next day.
Research results show that even if both partners do not have a close sexual relationship, sleeping together in the same bed can still disrupt their sleep compared to sleeping in separate beds, but only men are affected by brain power as a result. This may be because lack of sleep causes men's stress hormone levels to rise, and their ability to complete simple cognitive tests the next day may also be reduced. Women, however, do not experience adverse reactions similar to those of men. Researchers have found that even if women sleep for the same amount of time as men, they are much more energetic the next day than men, leading them to conclude that women must sleep more soundly and have better sleep quality.
In addition, research has also found that sleeping together can also have an impact on dreaming. Generally, women remember more about their dreams after sleeping in separate beds; A new study by Austrian scientists found that sharing a bed with a loved one adversely affects a man's brain power the next day, while women do not.
