So she asked people on the internet if they agree

We should respect our partner’s sleep, but even couples who live on different schedules can still develop a joint routine

Share icon Image credits: SHVETS production/Pexels (not the actual photo) Building your life around unusual hours isn’t that unusual. For example, a 2017–2018 survey from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that around 16% of American workers had work shifts outside a regular daytime schedule. However, we have to respect our partner’s rest. Not getting enough sleep drains us in a wide variety of ways. Science has linked inadequate slumber with several health problems, including weight gain and a weakened immune system. One analysis even linked insomnia to an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Sleep deprivation also makes us feel more impatient and prone to mood swings. It harms intellectual performance, academic achievement, creative pursuits, and productivity at work. While the idea of having a routine in your relationship can sound boring, clinical psychologist Sabrina Romanoff, PsyD, who specializes in relationships, says it provides grounding, consistency, and stability. So if two people are lacking a sense of structure in one area, establishing it elsewhere can strengthen their bond and create a sense of security. According to Romanoff, some of the simple yet effective ways to establish it are:

taking a morning walk together;having dinner together;brushing your teeth together;watching TV together;planning a date night once a week;trying out new things together;traveling together.

The story has received a lot of reactions

Eventually, the woman behind the post made an update and said they’d talked everything out
