It could be the aro in me talking, but I don't really understand how people can get good sleep in the same room as one another, let alone the same bed. Having someone within the immediate vicinity, even an extremely liked and trusted person, seems like it would be a distraction at best and at worst cause anxiety over if I was making it harder for them to sleep

I sleep better next to someone I love and trust because of what I assume are primitive monkey brain reasons.

Woah, woah, woah! My great-great-great-great ^100^ ancestor was a monkey! Primitive is such an offensive word

Id say as someone who enjoys sleeping in the same bed (often with people who i am in a non-sexual relationship with and sometimes in a bed not designed for two people) it has kinda the same effect that cuddling with a person(sometimes it is just that) for a very long time so it just feels nice and has you rested in a completely different way. I do agree that the sleep quality often suffers a bit so i wouldn't likely want to sleep like that every night.

It is kinda how many mammals have evolved to sleep, ever seen cats sleep in a big ball in weird positions over eachother?
