Sleeping in separate beds is apparently also a good idea because of the triggers that help people drift off, including body temperature. Dozing off beside another person raises body heat, and this can therefore lead to a person getting insufficient rest at night. In a TikTok vid shared with his 4.8 million followers, Dr Karan said: "One of the triggers you need to be able to fall asleep, is the drop in core body temperature. Sharing a bed increases body heat so it'll take longer for you to fall asleep." The viral video has since been viewed more than 242,500 times, clocking up over 25,000 likes and counting.
