Why Do Married Couples in Japan Sleep Separately

Smaller houses and apartments don’t stop many Japanese couples from sleeping in different beds or even rooms. This is not some kind of an intimate issue or problem with the relationship, but something that they believe is good for them.

We at Bright Side found out why married couples in Japan choose to sleep separately, and we really like their reasons.

They have different sleep schedules.

The first thing that makes Japanese couples decide to go to bed separately is different work schedules. Waking up your significant other just because you got home late from work or have to leave early won’t result in good quality rest for them. This is why spending the night in a different room makes sense. This will give them both an undisturbed and healthier sleep.

Babies sleep with their mothers.

Japanese mothers sleep with their children and this is considered very important, so the father needs to decide if he wants to share the same bed or go to a different room. Even science has proven that co-sleeping can help parents and children get a more restful sleep. It helps the child to maintain a stable temperature and heart rate (which is really critical in infancy) and at the same time, it decreases the chance of sudden infant death syndrome. Also, this contributes to the child having better self-esteem, becoming independent faster, and doing great in school.

For them, sleeping separately means peace.

While many couples who start to sleep alone think that divorce is at their door, the Japanese see it differently. They value their sleep a lot and they don’t want to be disturbed while sleeping. This means that they don’t need and don’t like to put up with snoring, restless sleep, kicking, etc. Even though some don’t have the opportunity to sleep in different rooms, they still wish they could get their beauty sleep.

Futons are filled with cotton, which provides support and comfort. In the past, only single sized ones were used as beds. So, even if you wanted to cuddle up with your loved one, you would have ended up between the sheets, on the cold floor, and you wouldn’t feel comfortable. Today there are families that still use this type of bedding, especially because it doesn’t take up a lot of space and it is easy to store.

Do you sleep separately from your partner? Do you think this type of practice might be even better for your relationship?

“Not Natural”, Jane Fonda Rocks Bold Red Lipstick On the Red Carpet, But All Eyes Are on Her Face-Lifting

Jane Fonda wowed at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, showing off her new longer hair and bold red lipstick. Fans loved her stunning look, though some couldn’t help but point out the signs of her recent face-lift.

Fonda wowed in an elegant black ensemble adorned with silver floral decorations gracing the torso.
Atop her chic suit, she donned a captivating tan and black animal motif long coat, which she effortlessly wrapped around her shoulders.

The silver-haired actress sported her signature waved hairstyle with a side parting, and she complemented the dark attire with vibrant red lipstick.

Most people were amazed by Jane Fonda’s beauty and flooded the comments with praise for her radiant look. “Jane Fonda always knows how to steal the show with her elegant and timeless style. She truly is a classic beauty who never fails to impress on the red carpet”, someone wrote.

Others chimed in with comments like “She’s remarkable” or “Looking fresh and clean,” praising her appearance.

However, some noticed changes in her face, prompting theories about possible surgery. One person wrote, “If I had her money, I could look like that too. It’s not natural. But it looks great,” while another commented, “Amazing what a good plastic surgeon can do…” Another user remarked, “It doesn’t look like her at all.”

Despite what some people have said about Jane expressing regret in the past about getting a facelift.
