Majority Of Americans Say Sleep Compatibility With A Partner Is Important

We all know how important a good night’s sleep is for our health, but for a lot of people, their partner gets in the way of them getting the necessary shut eye they want, and need. 

 Conducted by OnePoll in partnership with Natrol  

  • 78% of people in relationships say sleep compatability with a partner is very important.
  • 77% say they are affected when their partner doesn’t get a good night’s sleep.
  • 40% of Americans have actually ended a relationship because of a partner’s poor sleeping habits. 

One major issue when it comes to sleeping with a partner is snoring, and there is only so much of it a person can deal with.

  • 47% of people admit they snore more than their partner, while 25% say their partner snores more.
  • The average person will only put up with one and a half hours of their partner’s snoring before either making them sleep on the couch, or leaving themselves.
  • 70% are likely to ask their partner to move, while 67% would move themselves.
  • 56% of people who sleep with their partner every night say they’d rather sleep alone due to their partner’s sleep habits. 

But snoring isn’t the only issue. Among the other sleeping issues:

  • 45% of folks say their partner takes up more of the bed than them, while 32% say they take up more space.
  • 36% say their partner steals the covers more than they do, although 35% say they steal them more so it’s about even.
  • 57% of people identify as light sleepers.
  • 49% have a pet that sleeps with them frequently.
