As so many things do, it all started with a TikTok question: Where are married couples sleeping these days? Together? Separately? And, because it’s the internet, people had A LOT of thoughts. But it goes back to a basic question: your sleep affects you, especially as you age. So it’s only fair, really, that people sleep apart. Either way, it’s a thought-starter.

I think about this a LOT. And while this piece may be a few years old, it holds up. As someone who is guilty of bringing her phone into the bathroom allllllll the time, I find this deeply unsettling. And you might, too. Sorry not sorry for sharing.
