The surprising benefits of going to bed angry at your partner

Clinical psychologists Dr. Samantha Rodman Whiten in Maryland and Dr. Sabrina Romanoff in New York explain the effects of going to bed angry with a partner.
They explain that when people are tired, their emotional restraint diminishes, causing them to act rashly and express thoughts they might later wish they hadn’t shared during conflicts.
Experts recommend pausing conflicts and sleeping on them, followed by timely, calm discussions when both partners are rested to improve resolution.
Romanoff explained that sleep diminishes the brain's response to adverse or perceived adverse triggers, supports emotional processing, and enhances your capacity to think clearly and solve problems effectively.
They conclude that handling arguments with care and maintaining bedtime rituals reinforces relationships, while treating conflicts as opportunities supports growth over resentment.
