Healthy Relationship Signs: People often find peace in their partner's arms. Let us explain why this happens and how it affects you.

Why do you sleep with your partner?

Why Do You Feel Sleepy Around Your Partner: If you often feel sleepy or lethargic around your partner, don't mistake it for boredom or distance. It's actually a sign of emotional security. Research has shown a strong connection between our emotional state and sleep. Studies have shown that people who feel secure in their relationships have better sleep quality.

Why do you fall asleep next to your partner?

Has it ever happened to you that you start to doze off just by sitting next to your partner, and wonder if you're getting bored with them? If so, you're not alone, especially if your partner is truly a "green flag." It may sound strange, but there's a whole science behind it. Being in a safe and comfortable environment with a loved one relaxes our hormones and nervous system.

Your health improves

A study from Cambridge University found that people with secure attachments not only sleep better but also have better overall health. The human body is always in alert mode in case of danger. However, when we are with someone with whom we feel safe, this alert system automatically calms down. This is why the body goes into relaxed mode when we feel emotionally secure with our partner.

During this time, levels of oxytocin, the "love hormone," increase in the body. This hormone reduces stress-inducing cortisol and promotes deep sleep. It also strengthens trust, bonding, and emotional connections. Feeling loved and reassured activates the body's parasympathetic nervous system, known as "rest and digest" mode. This normalizes heart rate and blood pressure, preparing the body for restful sleep.

Sleep comes from a calm mind

When we're alone, thoughts like "What if I can't do something?" keep swirling in our mind, which gives rise to anxiety. Meanwhile, the presence of an understanding and supportive partner reduces these unnecessary worries. The mind calms down, and sleep comes naturally. This sweet feeling not only reflects the depth of a relationship but also has a profound impact on our health. Trust and peace improve heart health, reduce stress hormones, and strengthen immunity. This not only improves sleep but also reduces anxiety, improves brain function, and increases emotional strength in everyday life.
