Tossing and turning in bed alone in the dead of night?

As night falls and the world falls silent, many people find themselves tossing and turning in bed, especially when their partner isn't around.

This is not only a desire for security and habits, but also a deeper reflection of our pursuit of an intimate lifestyle.

Let’s dive into the challenges of sleeping alone and find solutions to help improve the quality of sleep for those who are used to sleeping with a partner.

From maintaining daily intimacy rituals to creating an environment that promotes a restful night's sleep, here's how we can get a good night's sleep even when our partner is missing.

Moderate exercise can make the body and mind calmer

Regular exercise can relieve stress, lift your mood, and promote better sleep.

These include stretching, yoga, meditation, warm showers, aromatherapy or breathing techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation, 4-7-8 breathing or diaphragmatic breathing.

An item, a habitual taste

If you need to feel your partner's presence in some way, keep a picture of them or an object with their scent next to you.

Maybe it's a shirt they've worn recently, or a pillow that's sprayed with cologne or perfume.

If you're worried about the room feeling too quiet without the sound of your partner's breathing, a fan or using white noise can be really helpful for simulating the sound of breathing.

Some couples sleep separately because of their different sleeping habits or at least start the night that way even if they want to sleep together.

If you're a morning person but your partner is a night owl, maybe they could give you a hug in time before you fall asleep and then quietly leave the room to do whatever they want until they're ready for bed.

Some couples have a habit of calling to say good night before going to bed, but for some this can do more harm than good if it increases feelings of longing and loneliness rather than comfort.

Pay attention to what works for you.
