Curling up with a significant other may sound like a cozy proposition, but between snoring, different sleep schedules and phantom kicks in the middle of the night, many Americans find themselves craving alone time in bed, according to a new study.

More than half (52 percent) of people think it’s healthy for couples to sleep in separate beds - and 62 percent of people prefer it, according to a survey of 1,016 Americans by mattress company Leesa.

Among couples that don’t live together, 26 percent said they sleep alone when staying the night with their significant other, while 74 percent said they bed down with their partner.

Men and women are both more likely to report that their sleep suffers when they share a bed with their partner

Despite that, 68 percent of women and nearly 59 percent of men say their sleep quality is worse when their significant other is in bed.

Just 17 percent of women and 18 percent of men said a partner improved their sleep quality.

On average, couples said they would ideally like to sleep alone 12 days a month – but 31 percent of people are afraid to raise the issue with their partner.

Among women, the top reason for seeking out a night alone was snoring, with 43 percent identifying that as their bedtime gripe – a complaint among just 20 percent of men.

Men are most likely to sleep alone because of differing temperature preferences, with 33.4 percent saying that issue left them craving a night to themselves. Nearly 39 percent of women cited that complaint.

Other top complaints were different sleep schedules (cited by 36 percent of women and 32 percent of men); being easily disturbed (37 percent of women and 28 percent of men); not having enough space (28 percent of women and nearly 29 percent of men); and needing to move around a lot during the night (28 percent of women and 30 percent of men).

Men are most likely to want to sleep alone based on differing preferences for how warm or cool the room is when it's time to go to bed

Among respondents who often craved sleeping alone 22 percent weren’t feeling good about their relationship, while 78 percent were satisfied.

Meanwhile, 93.5 percent of people who were happy in their relationship reported that they rarely sought a night of solo sleep, compared to just 6.5 percent of people in unhappy relationships.

The survey also found a correlation between wanting to sleep alone and being in a relationship for a long time.

Among people in a relationship for less than a year, 19.5 percent wanted to sleep alone. At the other end of the spectrum, 53.5 percent of people who have been together for 21-30 years said they craved alone time in bed.
