Why do we share a bed with our partners??

Yeah, why??? No Images? [Click here]( SLEEP STUFF If so many of us don't sleep well when we're in bed with our partners, why are we all still doing it? Most of us know one set of parents or grandparents (why is it always older couples?) who sleep in separate rooms. We want to believe they don't love each other as much as we love our partners because their relationship isn't tested by the sound of snoring every night. Ha! We are so superior! But here's the real question: Do they have the right idea? Most people sleep with their partners but don't actually like it Mattress company [Leesa]( surveyed more than a thousand people in partnerships and found [62 percent of couples prefer sleeping alone](, though only 26 percent actually do. And for most people, sharing a bed means their sleep quality is worse: OK so why do we still do it? There's a general expectation that sharing a bed is what couples do. But it's also convenient—separate beds mean you need more space, which costs more money. The study found older couples are far more likely to sleep apart than younger couples (knew it). We're thinkin' they have the right idea. If you're consistently getting bad sleep, that will probably do enough damage to your mental health to hurt your relationship. So, yeah. Separate beds might be the best thing for ya. Try this When you and your partner have totally different eating habits, it can be tough to know how to find a middle ground. Focus on foods you both love instead of the ones you don't and be open with each other about wanting to eat out less/change your diet/whatever. Your relationship (and your body) will be healthier as a result. [Greatist]( THAT'S TRENDY ClassPass is getting in on wellness tourism Coming soon is a ClassPass feature called [Getaways]( that lets you use your credits to book not a vacation but a "wellness experience" through the app. It sounds like it's essentially going to be a ClassPass-sponsored fitness retreat involving workouts, beauty treatments, and healthy food. It sounds so dumb, and we can't wait to try it An OOO day that involves a bougie workout and a spa sounds fantastic to us, but TBD on whether there's an advantage to booking through the ClassPass platform instead of setting one up yourself. (Getaways won't officially launch until the end of August, so we're not sure yet where they'll be or how much they'll cost.) More than anything else, ClassPass's move shows that wellness tourism is definitely the ~thing to do. Cool, we guess.

But in practice, I'm really not that good at working out alone. So basically, fitness apps have never worked for me. But [Gixo]( is a workout app that prioritizes community and real-time trainers Each class is streamed live, and there's a real coach monitoring everyone's progress. They're there to answer questions, guide you through the workout, and pump you with motivation. At the end of the day, nothing beats the real-life community of working out with others, but this app is easily the next best thing. I feel slightly less alone doing grapevines in my living room or running down the street with a coach and a team in my earbuds, and for me, that works. Maybe it will for you too? -- Sarah Ellis, editorial intern [GET 20% OFF GIXO | $15.99]( Every editorial product is independently selected by our editors.

[The Atlantic]( SPONSORED Don't waste your money on a couch that doesn't move with you A nice couch is an investment. (Don’t you want your butt to be comfy?) But if you’re reinvesting in a new sofa every time you move—because it’s too big, or too small, or worst case, the chaise is on the wrong side and it doesn’t feng shui in your new space—then maybe it wasn’t the best investment in the first place. [Burrow]( makes modular couches that are as adaptable as you are As your living room gets bigger, your Burrow sofa can grow too—add a section to the armchair to make it a loveseat, then add another to make it a three-seat sofa. You can add a chaise, then switch its placement each time you redecorate, or flip the cushions for different style vibes. Since Burrow couches are stain resistant, pet-friendly, and extremely durable, you can be sure it'll be around (and be comfortable) for the long run. If that all sounds perfect, use code [GREATIST for $75 off]( your Burrow couch. Shipping is free (as always), and your first 30 days are risk-free—if you don't like it, you can return it.
