If sleeping close to your partner you’re happy

A study by Richard Wiseman, psychologist, University of Hertfordshire, UK, found that partners who slept less than an inch apart are more likely to be happy in their relationship.

It is possible to tell how happy a couple are together by measuring the distance between them as they sleep, scientists said.

The study involved asking over 1000 people to describe their preferred sleeping position and to rate the quality of their relationship.

‘One of the important differences involved touching, with 94% of couples who spent the night in contact with one another were happy with their relationship, compared to just 68% of those who didn’t,’ said Richard Wiseman.

Will advising partners to sleep closer help them to be happy in their relationship is not known, but those who are happy are sleeping close.
