200355632-001It seems that more couples are choosing to sleep in different beds, joining the likes of the Queen and Prince Philip - who also have separate bedrooms - and are finding their relationship has improved significantly as a result. The Daily Mail has published (January 19th) a selection of interviews conducted with loved-up duos who have made the decision to sleep apart, despite being happy together in their relationship. Snoring, teeth grinding and conflicting work schedules are just some of the reasons behind these couples making such a statement. Shelley Harrison, 35, and her partner of five years, Alex Olejnic, 39, feature in the article and support the idea of couples sleeping in separate beds if it suits their relationship - they too sleep in separate rooms, and have done so for the last two years. Shelley explained: "Sleeping apart is the best thing we ever did. I've never slept well with someone beside me - being alone in bed feels far more natural. When we shared a bed, Alex and I spent the night tossing and turning. That's frustrating when you have to get up early for work."
