Save your marriage: Let your partner sleep.

When a person needs sleep, a person needs sleep. We cannot expect to make the best decisions when we lack sleep. It is not good that it is estimated 1 in 3 adults suffer from sleep deprivation, right?

Sleep deprivation is a condition that you don’t get enough sleep. And this affects the life quality of a person.

Why is sleep important?



First, when we marry a person, we (assume) that we love, care, and we want to spend the rest of our lives with this person. However, if we affect their sleep quality, over the time the daily balance will turn towards the negative side. Sleep deprivation can affect your memory, and if you don’t let your partner sleep, you cannot expect your partner to remember the love that existed in the first place. And if your partner could have the choice of 8 hours of sleep or being with you who disturbs their sleep, guess what your partner will choose?


Second, you can be the asshole who says, “how my partner has changed over the years, and now my partner it is not the sweet candy like s/he was before”. Well, well, let me tell you, sleep deprivation affects the mood.  Can you be all sweet and good vibes when you don’t get enough sleep and have to deal daily with the person who is the reason why you can’t get a decent night’s rest? Neither can Mother Teresa, my friend…


Third, it is useless to say how your partner is always tired or always sick if you don’t let them sleep properly.  Guess what’s affecting their immune system other than germs? It’s also you. Causing sleep deprivation. Lack of sleep weakens the immunity, and now you have to deal with your partner never getting better. Yep, it is your fault.

Next, do you know that diabetes doesn’t have cure and can cause severe and irreversible body damages? And why are we talking about diabetes now? Because sleep deprivation affects your insulin, increasing your risk of having diabetes. It is a lot easier to just let your partner have a good night’s sleep than dealing with diabetes, don’t you think?









At some point in married life, we complaint about how sexual life decrease over the time. Well, here is some news for you. Sleep deprivation can directly affect the libido. If a person who suffers from sleep deprivation can choose between a nice time sleeping or spending some adult time with you, you may not like the choice your partner will make. Loving a person is not just saying “I love you and bla bla bla…” all the time, it is taking care of them too. In this case, making sure your partner it is getting quality sleeping time will be directly beneficial for you.


Over the years you start to think if your partner is really there listening to you or if they are just shaking their head wishing that you can just shut up and be quiet forever. So, sleep deprivation can result in trouble concentrating, thinking and keeping your mind sharp. The last time that you checked, your partner should have been a person by your side, not a zombie who wished to crawl back to their grave to sleep.

If someone doesn’t have their mind sharp as possible, what could be an obvious result of that? Exactly, an accident can happen. If you’re lucky, it can be just your partner throwing away the spoon and washing the disposable container, which can make you laugh and make fun of them, but it could also be something more severe, like, a car accident, or cutting their fingers off while they are cooking. We want your spouse in one piece undamaged. Do your part to make this happen.







You can even think why do we need sleep for so much time when we can use this time to do something productive, right, you workaholic? Here is the answer. When we suffer from sleep deprivation, the increasing chance of having health problems grows like the weeds in your lawn. Your blood pressure can increase, you have more chances for heart disease, fatigue, and even affect the fertility. Are you making plans to grow the family? Well, let your partner sleep first.


Some day you just awake (how nice you are the only one who sleeps nicely in this house, you dick) and look at your partner and ask “what happened to the beauty that was by my side before?” So, instead of you being even more trashy and doing some body shaming of your partner, remember that sleep deprivation can make the weight change happen. Instead of being a terrible human who doesn’t allow people to sleep nicely by your side, how about looking for solutions for both of you to have a nice sleep night?
