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.
