💤 The evolution of sleep over time
We haven't always slept in the same way. If history tells us anything, it's how people used to live and what their customs were, both in terms of hygiene and rest. As David K. Randall explains in his book: Dreamland: Adventures in the Strange Science of Sleep; Before the industrial revolution, families slept in the same room.
In times when houses were inhabited by many members of the same family, they slept together. This was especially true in families that did not have great luxuries and whose homes were small. The children all slept in one room and the parents in another.
In the 19th century, for reasons of hygiene and health, sleeping in single beds was recommended. Doctors recommended this measure to avoid breathing on top of each other and thus prevent possible contagion and epidemics such as influenza, etc. In addition, having your own space to rest promoted better sleep.
🛌 Sleep alone or with someone?
Everyone has their own way of sleeping. Some prefer to sleep alone, others with company, wrapped up in sheets, uncovered, with extra blankets, hugging their pillow, etc. We all have our quirks when it comes to sleeping, but is it better to sleep alone or with company?
At Colchón Morfeo, we believe that no one option is better than another, but rather that this decision depends entirely on each individual and what is best for their health and sleep quality. Avoid compromising your quality of life and relationships in the process 😉 Because a happy person sleeps and lives better.
Below we show you the pros and cons of each option:
1. Sleep alone
Not everything is wonderful when you sleep with someone else; there are certain drawbacks, such as:
- Lack of space
- Lighter sleep due to movements
- Collisions while you sleep with the other person
- Noises and snoring while sleeping
- Fights over the sheet
Often, couples or people who share a bed do not agree on mattress preferences such as firmness, features, materials, etc. This causes uncertainty when choosing the best mattress for rest, as each person has a different perception of comfort when sleeping. In addition, some people prefer to sleep with the heating or air conditioning on, with the TV on, with more or less cover in bed, with the light on... This can cause major problems in the long run, such as insomnia or sleep disorders.
➡Advantages of sleeping alone
When we sleep alone, we have the entire bed to ourselves. When sleeping alone, there is no one to disturb your rest with sudden movements, snoring, or annoying noises. And even though the bed is colder, you can position yourself however you want when sleeping. Sleeping in separate beds or even different rooms can be a good option if there are sleep health issues caused by sleeping with a partner.
It is important to remember that when it comes to sleep, the most important thing is to get good quality sleep. To do this, bedtime should be a pleasant experience, not torture. For those who differ in terms of comfort and sleeping preferences, sleeping in separate beds could be a good solution for their health. It should also be noted that the market has changed significantly and bed sizes now offer a larger sleeping surface.
2. Sleeping with someone else
Some people believe that sleeping with a partner is an obligation imposed by social standards. However, sleeping with a partner is a choice made by two people who sleep better this way.
➡Cons of sleeping with someone else
When two people sleep together, there are a number of drawbacks that can sometimes affect the quality of sleep:
- Spontaneous movements on both sides
- Fights over sheets or bedding
- Snoring and people who talk in their sleep.
- Muscle pain due to the posture adopted

Despite snoring, kicking, and other inconveniences, scientists claim that sleeping with a partner is better for your health. Research led by Dr. Wendy Troxel refutes previous studies that claimed sleeping with a partner was bad for your health.
Despite snoring, kicking, and other inconveniences, scientists claim that sleeping with a partner is better for your health. Research led by Dr. Wendy Troxel refutes previous studies that claimed sleeping with a partner was bad for your health.
The study was conducted with women who slept alone and with partners. It found that women who lived with a partner took less time to fall asleep and woke up less frequently during the night. In addition, they slept much better without stress or negative interactions with their partners before bedtime.
What can be deduced from this research is that sleeping with a partner has psychological benefits, which compensate for a certain loss in sleep quality.The security provided by sleeping with a partner is what benefits rest and sleep health by lowering cortisol (stress hormone) levels. In addition, sleeping with a partner stimulates the secretion of oxytocin.
