'My boyfriend and I have unusual sleeping habit – it keeps relationship alive'
When you hit the hay with your partner, what's your sleeping arrangement?
It's often assumed that if you're in a relationship, you and your significant other will share the same bed, despite any snoring or restless tossing and turning that might disrupt your sleep. After all, it's all part of being in love, isn't it?
However, some couples choose to do what suits them best rather than stick to societal expectations.
This can sometimes mean having entirely separate bedrooms in their shared home. One woman took to TikTok to showcase her unique sleeping setup with her partner.

TikTokers @kacieandchristian wrote over the nine-second clip: "Point of view: You and your boyfriend live together but have separate rooms".
She captioned the video saying that she would "10/10 recommend" the sleeping situation they'd adopted.
Kacie gave viewers a tour of her charming Hello Kitty-themed bedroom, featuring a large white dream catcher, a Hello Kitty plush cushion, and an array of pink accessories - all neatly arranged.
She then moved downstairs to Christian's room, which was noticeably more cluttered and somewhat messier than Kacie's. The colour scheme was much more subdued compared to his girlfriend's vibrant room, and the clothes rail was disorganised and overflowing with items.
The comments section saw a lively debate, with many questioning the impact on a couple's "love life" if they choose to sleep in separate rooms.
One commenter shared: "I support people who do this, but in my opinion, I could never do this. I need the comfort of my partner to sleep. Plus, we can still have space but sleep together in the same room".
Another user confessed: "Omg I do this and I thought that we were weird".
On the other hand, a woman defended the decision to sleep separately, saying: "Yesss, we have separate beds and it made sleeping so much better! His snoring is SO LOUD, I still need to put white noise on to drown it out, and he also flops around like a fish, so between those two, I got no sleep; I don't understand why people are so offended over this".
Someone else agreed, adding: "I feel like this is such a healthy thing to do,".
