If you want a long marriage, get some sleep

Serious tip coming your way: If you want your marriage to last, get some sleep.

A new study out of Florida State University found that married couples who get more sleep than the average American report higher relationship satisfaction, especially the day after they’ve had such a long sleep.

The study, titled "The Rested Relationship: Sleep Benefits in Marital Evaluations” and published in the Journal of Family Psychology, found that sleep affects how couples handle burdens and stresses in their relationships.

"The universality of our findings is important," FSU graduate student Heather Maranges said. "That is, we know all people need sleep. Regardless of the stage at which a couple is in their relationship or the cultural context in which they're embedded, each member of the couple can be adversely affected by not getting enough sleep."
