It would seem that such a seemingly trivial propensity to pull the blanket over himself during sleep is one of the main reasons for quarrels between lovers. 10% of couples can disintegrate due to the fact that one of the partners wakes up at night because of the cold.
With this, perhaps, at least once every adult came across. Suddenly you wake up at night from the feeling of cold and you realize that the blanket on yourself has been pulled by the one with whom you share the bed. As British sociologists have found out, in Foggy Albion the overtaken blanket is the second main reason for family quarrels after snoring.
Although the most reasonable way out of this situation would be to buy a second blanket, 10% of the survey participants said they would go on a break with their mates if they did not stop pulling the blanket on themselves regularly. In every tenth pair, it turns out, such conflicts happen twice a week and more often.
The survey, commissioned by the Premier Inn hotel chain, involved 2,000 people who are married or have a stable relationship with cohabitation. Half of the survey participants suffer from snoring spouses or partners, and 20% as a result of snoring lose two hours of sleep each night. This is the most popular reason for family quarrels.
Among other reasons besides snoring and pulling the blankets were called ...
- allowing children to sleep in their parents' beds,
- sleep on the "strange" half of the bed (if the partner moves there during sleep),
- touching the cold feet to warm skin,
- long not extinguishing at night lamp, with which the waking spouse or partner reads the book.
On average, due to inconvenience during sleep, 167 family quarrels break out between partners each year.
