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.
Couples have a history of sleeping separately.
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?

While Bella may not possess the same level of fame as her parents, she is an integral and beloved part of the Cruise-Kidman family. She continues to forge her own path with grace and independence, following her own passions and maintaining a low-key profile.
Before we dive into the beautiful bond between Tom Cruise and Bella, let’s take a moment to revisit the love story that brought them into this world. Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were Hollywood’s golden couple when they tied the knot in 1990. They first met on the set of the movie “Days of Thunder,” where Tom recognized Nicole’s immense talent and convinced the producers to cast her as his love interest.
Two years into their marriage, they joyfully adopted their daughter, Isabella Jane, followed by their son, Connor Antony, three years later. Tom Cruise was already a massive star, and their love story seemed like a match made in heaven for this A-list couple.
But Tom Cruise filed for divorce eleven years into their marriage, claiming irreconcilable differences. Their path to parenthood was not without heartache, as Nicole experienced an ectopic pregnancy soon after their wedding, which forced them to consider other options for starting a family.
Today, Connor Cruise and Isabella Cruise are prosperous adults who have mostly avoided the spotlight. Isabella, also known as Bella, has chosen to work as a hairdresser and artist. She and her British husband, Max Parker, currently reside in London. Even though Bella likes to live a low-key life, she occasionally posts glimpses of her creative pursuits on her Instagram page, which has amassed a substantial fan base of more than 50,000.
In 2020, Bella surprised her followers by sharing a rare selfie, wearing a black hat and playfully captioning it with the words, “All that glitters is gold… oh wait, it’s just another Instagram filter.” Another selfie featured Bella in the kitchen with her hand on her head, accompanied by the words, “the procrastination station.” These posts reflect her down-to-earth and relatable nature, endearing her to her fans.
It’s important to note that Bella embraces the beliefs of the Church of Scientology, just like her father and brother. In an interview with Who magazine, she expressed that her children have made their own decision to be Scientologists, highlighting their autonomy and individuality. Nicole Kidman, Bella’s mother, has also shown her love and respect for her children’s beliefs.
Speculation arose that Nicole and Tom’s different beliefs may have contributed to their divorce in 2001. Following the split, Bella and Connor chose to live with their father, although Nicole has expressed her desire for them to live with her and her husband, Keith Urban. However, she acknowledges and respects her children’s autonomy and decision.
Contrary to expectations, Bella has opted not to follow in her famous father’s footsteps and pursue an acting career. Instead, she has charted her own path, developing a passion for fashion akin to her stepmother, Katie Holmes. This led her to move to London to study at the Sassoon Academy, a prestigious cosmetology school, and she now works as a talented hairdresser.
Recently, Bella delighted her fans with another rarely seen selfie, showcasing her new hairstyle and striking new look. Some of her followers even noticed similarities between her and her father, such as the distinctive “dents in her nose” and “smile lines.” It’s fascinating to see the connection between father and daughter manifest in physical traits.
Bella and her brother, Connor, bring a breath of fresh air to the world of Hollywood children. They have remained grounded and down-to-earth, choosing to lead their lives outside of the spotlight. If you have friends or family who haven’t seen a recent picture of Bella, please share this heartwarming article with them.;
