We also asked respondents if they would consider sleeping in the spare bedroom if these pet peeve’s keep reoccurring, and 43.69% of brits said they would! Eating food in bed is sometimes considered a luxury, and often a romantic experience between a couple, but it could actually be cause of relationships breaking down and a reason for a broken sleep.

Carl Walsh, resident sleep expert and owner of Bed Guru says that “The bedroom should be a harmonious and calming place, and if there are clothes on the floor or crumbs in the bed, you will feel distracted, which can cause your mind to feel overwhelmed, and it could impact your sleep.

This could lead to a strained relationship with your partner, as sleep deprivation can be a number one cause of mood swings, and mood swings can often make you irritated with the people closest to you.”
