While many people have the habit of hugging their loved ones to sleep at night, some avoid it. But do you know, sleeping with your partner at night gives you better sleep.
It also cures various diseases. A recent study has revealed such information. The study was conducted by the Northumbria University in London. The study revealed that sleeping alone at night can lead to different thoughts. Apart from this, a lot of time is lost in mobile usage. As a result, sleep is delayed. Even if you sleep again, the sleep is not deep due to various reasons.
On the other hand, everyone feels more secure when their partner is by their side. Even if you keep your head on your partner's chest and say a few words, mental fatigue is removed a lot. Researchers see that 5 types of hormones are released when you sleep hugging your partner at night. For example, oxytocin (this is the love hormone that makes you happy), serotonin (this hormone contributes to well-being and happiness).
Norepinephrine (it regulates sleep and balances stress), vasopressin (increases sleep quality and reduces cortisol) and prolactin (this hormone improves the immune system and deepens sleep).
Tim Gray, a psychologist, entrepreneur and world speaker at Biohacker Health Optimizing, who led this study, said, 'These hormones eliminate mental fatigue. As a result, the mind and mood are already good. Therefore, for natural reasons, sleep is better and the risk of various diseases is also reduced. According to the research data, if you sleep with your partner next to you, the risk of cardiovascular disease is also reduced. Apart from this, the hormone oxytocin also helps in controlling blood pressure.
Love your loved one more to get rid of headache, fatigue etc. in the busy day. Research shows that kissing is very effective in reducing the incidence of headaches.
"Sleeping with a partner reduces depression and anxiety," Gray notes. Which keeps mental health good. This practice may also help you live longer!'The University of Northern California study conducted on 59 women. The researchers regularly checked the participants' oxytocin levels and blood pressure.
Experts consider data on how often they hug their partner or how many nights they sleep with them.
What was the result? Experts found that those with the highest levels of oxytocin had the lowest blood pressure. In addition, contact with a loved one sends a signal to the adrenal glands to stop producing cortisol. This results in reduced stress and better sleep.
