Sharing a bed with someone could temporarily reduce your brain power, at least if you are a man, according to Austrian scientists.
When men spend the night with a bed mate their sleep is disturbed and this impairs their mental ability the next day. The lack of sleep also increases a man's stress hormone levels.
According to the New Scientist study, women sharing a bed fare better because they sleep more deeply.
So men should sleep alone?

I have always thought that one of the greatest drawbacks to marriage must be sharing a bed; I'm not talking about sex, but sleeping all night every night with another human being. I need my own space with no other person snoring, scratching, tossing and farting in it - and free to do all those myself if I am so minded.
