Sleep is as important to one's health as food, drink, and air.
According to scientists, sleeping next to someone can actually improve your health.
Despite the snores, blanket hogging, unintentional kicking, and a slew of other nocturnal disturbances, a slew of studies have found that sharing a bed with another person provides long-term benefits.
According to studies, sleeping next to someone you love has a number of health benefits: "Sleep is that golden chain that binds health and our bodies together." – Thomas Dekker
1.It aids in falling asleep more quickly.
Is this a scenario you've encountered before? You're lying in bed by yourself, and your mind begins to wander.
Your brain becomes active once more, and you start to overthink things.
Tuning out makes it more difficult to sleep and increases agitation.
However, when you share a bed with someone you care about, you have a tendency to unwind because sleeping with someone you care about provides you a sense of security.
You fall asleep in minutes when your body is relaxed.
2. It makes you feel less stressed.
Cortisol levels reduce when you share a bed with someone you love, according to expert Andrea Petersen of the Wall Street Journal.
It also produces Oxycontin, popularly known as the love hormone, which reduces anxiety.
When you have low stress levels, you are less likely to get heart disease, cancer, and other significant chronic illnesses.
3. It helps to minimize inflammation in the body.
While stress levels decrease when you sleep with a loved one, the level of cytokines in your body also decreases, according to Petersen.
Inflammation and discomfort are caused by cytokines in the body.
As a result, having another warm person in bed relieves you of these physical issues.

4. It aids in the reduction of blood pressure.
Researchers from the University of North California conducted a sleep and intimacy study with 59 women who kept a journal of their spouses' hugs and cuddling.
The researchers discovered that those with the greatest amounts of Oxycontin also had the lowest blood pressure after evaluating their Oxycontin levels and testing their blood pressure.

The experiment's ramifications were discussed by Dr. David Hamilton, author of "Why Kindness Is Good for You."
5. It aids in the creation of perfect sleeping circumstances.
As you sleep, your body temperature begins to drop.
When your body starts to feel cold, the warmth of the person sleeping next to you can keep you as warm as a bug.
According to Natalie Dautovich of the National Sleep Foundation, sharing a blanket in bed can get very hot.
Isn't it lovely to have the most optimal sleeping conditions, with the perfect balance of warm and cold?

7. It boosts your immune system's performance.
When you share a bed with your partner, it can occasionally lead to lovemaking, which can help your immune system.
According to Wilkes University researchers, couples who have frequent bedtime intimacy have a better chance of avoiding the flu or common colds because they create more anti-bodies that make their bodies healthier.
8. It slows down the aging process.
In his book "Secrets of the Super Young," Scottish parapsychologist David Weeks claims that sharing a bed with someone you love and getting regular quality cuddle time and love can make you seem 10 years younger.
Furthermore, when you have lower stress levels, your body appears to be younger.
9. You and your lover become in harmony.
Couples with well-tuned body clocks go to bed at the same time (and most likely wake up at the same time).
They take on the role of social timekeepers for each other.
This synchrony, according to a study published in the Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, can indicate how happy couples are in their relationship.
10. Physical closeness while sleeping strengthens your bond.
A study conducted by the University of Hertfordshire looked at the effects of physical contact during sleep in 1,000 couples.
They discovered that couples who had a sleeping gap of 2.5 cm between them, implying that they were snuggling or lying in bed close and tight, had a healthy relationship.
At least 86.5 percent of couples in the survey presumably slept in this position.
