Sharing a bed with someone could temporarily reduce your brain power - at least if you are a man - Austrian scientists suggest.
When men spend the night with a bed mate their sleep is disturbed, whether they make love or not, and this impairs their mental ability the next day.
The lack of sleep also increases a man's stress hormone levels.
According to the New Scientist study, women who share a bed fare better because they sleep more deeply.

Although the men reported they had slept better with a partner, they fared worse in the tests, with their results suggesting they actually had more disturbed sleep.It's not you, Baby. It's me. Really. And no, that dress does not make you look fat.

Bill ‘Bubba’ Clinton can attest to that ... being married to Hildabeast in itself would be enough ... he went to the next level ... many times.

I would prefer separate bedrooms. Sleep is sleep, and it is sacred to me, and it has nothing to do with marital relations. I don’t think they make a bed big enough for two people.
