If you and your partner are looking to improve your relationship, one simple thing you can do is go to bed at the same time. Going to bed within 5 minutes of each other will do the trick. That's right, even if you're not speaking or touching, just climbing into bed together has a halo effect that can make you feel more in sync.
This was backed up by research from the University of Pittsburgh, which looked into the sleep habits of couples. They found that those who went to bed at the same time felt more satisfied with their relationships. This is likely because it gives couples a sense of common ground, as they can relax and talk about things other than work, kids, and money.
So if you're looking for an easy way to improve your relationship, just make sure you hit the sack at the same time as your partner. Sweet dreams!
