It makes you feel safe

You know how kids like to sleep next to their parents because they are afraid of the dark? That's because they feel safe with them. Sleeping next to someone makes you feel safe, so it reduces the chances of having nightmares. Hugging someone during sleep improves our quality of sleep. If you sleep next to your partner you will feel calm and peaceful--much more than when you sleep alone.

It makes you happier

Need a little happiness in your life? Then sleep next to the person you love! If you’re sharing the bed with someone you like on a nightly basis, it makes you happier as it releases dopamine (responsible for feeling pleasure) and serotonin (known as “happy chemical”) in the body, which improves your mood and makes you laugh.

According to the article in Women’s Health Magazine, touching someone releases dopamine and serotonin, and once serotonin is produced, it can be converted into melatonin by the body. Melatonin is a hormone that influences the sleep/wake cycle. You will fall asleep faster, and wake up happier.

It relieves you of stress

It is very difficult to have quality sleep if you are stressed every day, especially if you sleep alone. If you want to relieve stress, consider sleeping next to someone. When you are sleeping next to someone you care about, your body releases oxytocin that calms you and helps you manage stress.

The person you love will be there for you to hug you, help you solve a problem, make you laugh, or just hug you to sleep. This can lower your blood pressure and lower levels of the cortisol known as the stress hormone. If you combine sleeping next to someone with aromatic oils, warm shower, and massage, you will not be stressed when you wake up.

It makes your relationship healthy

There is nothing better than waking up next to the person you love. This is not surprising, considering that sleeping next to a partner makes people happier and more loved. People who are in a relationship and sleep separately from their partner, tend to feel lonely and depressed than those who sleep next to their partners even when they fought bed.

As reported by University of Hertfordshire survey, 86 percent of couples that slept together were happy in their relationships, whilst only 66 percent of couples who slept with a distance of more than 30 inches between them could say the same. One of the most popular sleeping positions for the couples was “spooning”. The survey showed that the closer the couples spent the night, the strong their relationship. Therefore, it seems that those who cuddle and sleep together are happier in their relationships.

It improves your sleep quality

Sleeping next to someone you love will improve your sleep quality. And it’s a lot better than watching TV and sleeping alone. First, the light from your television is reducing the melatonin levels in your body, so you can’t fall asleep fast. Second, when you sleep alone, your brain starts to overthink things, even if your eyes are closed.

So, according to research by Andrea Petersen in The Wall Street Journal, you actually fall asleep faster when you sleep with someone else. If you cuddle and talk before sleep, you will feel relaxed, happier so you will probably sleep better.

It lowers your blood pressure

For people with cardiovascular problems, sleeping next to someone can be great for improving their health. Sleeping next to someone in bed can lower your blood pressure. In agreement with the research done by the University of North Carolina, which recruited 59 women ages 20–49 who had been living with a spouse or monogamous partner for at least six months, those who said they got more cuddles with their partners generally had higher oxytocin levels.

Researchers checked their oxytocin levels and blood pressure regularly. Those with the highest level of oxytocin had the lowest blood pressure. So, if you've had a stressful day, sleep next to your partner.

It improves your immune system

When we catch a cold, we usually spend time in bed sleeping and resting. Sleeping helps us recover and fight the cold. But sharing blanket with your partner can improve your immune system.

As reported by scientists from Wilkes University in Pennsylvania, sexually active partners are more resistant to common colds and the flu because they produce more antibodies. But even cuddling will provide you with oxytocin and will boost your T-regulatory cells – key ingredients for keeping your immune system strong. So, fall asleep hugging your partner and you will be healthier.
