Why Many Japanese Couples Prefer Separate Beds
In Japan, it’s surprisingly common for married couples—especially in busy urban areas—to sleep apart. Surveys reveal that anywhere from 26% to 40% of couples choose separate beds or even separate bedrooms.
The reason isn’t distance or conflict—it’s quality sleep. By avoiding disruptions like snoring, tossing, or mismatched sleep schedules, couples enjoy more restful nights and better health.
Far from being viewed as a sign of marital strain, this practice is seen as a cultural norm that prioritizes well-being. Interestingly, some experts believe this habit may even contribute to Japan’s low divorce rate—just 1.8 per 1,000 people.
In Japan, sleeping separately isn’t about separation—it’s about sustaining harmony.
