On June 15th, after a period of absence due to her ongoing cancer battle, the Princess of Wales made a graceful return to public life. She joined the Royal Family in celebrating the King’s official birthday. Catherine dazzled in an elegant white ensemble, drawing admiration for her poise and charm. Despite the joy of seeing her, many observers and online commenters expressed concern, voicing similar worries about her health.
Kate beamed with grace, waving to the crowds as she and her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, were greeted with cheers from the spectators along The Mall. They departed Buckingham Palace in a carriage procession, making their way to the Trooping the Colour ceremony.
Admirers lauded the Princess of Wales for her resilience and celebrated her remarkable presence. However, most opinions focused on her physique and her look divided opinions. Many noticed that she seemed ’’more regal by the minute’’. Someone even commented, ’’I’ve never seen anyone look that well after chemo!’’
That said, others thought that the Princess ’’looks miserable,’’ and one person even wrote, ’’One can see the sadness in her eyes and the eyes of her children…’’
We are thrilled to see the Princess of Wales once more and send her our best wishes for health and happiness. The past few months have surely been tough for her. On a brighter note, Prince William and Kate recently marked their 13th anniversary with joy, sharing a never-before-seen photo on Instagram. You can view it here.
Why Do Married Couples in Japan Sleep Separately
Smaller houses and apartments don’t stop many Japanese couples from sleeping in different beds or even rooms. This is not some kind of an intimate issue or problem with the relationship, but something that they believe is good for them.
We at Bright Side found out why married couples in Japan choose to sleep separately, and we really like their reasons.
They have different sleep schedules.
The first thing that makes Japanese couples decide to go to bed separately is different work schedules. Waking up your significant other just because you got home late from work or have to leave early won’t result in good quality rest for them. This is why spending the night in a different room makes sense. This will give them both an undisturbed and healthier sleep.
Babies sleep with their mothers.
Japanese mothers sleep with their children and this is considered very important, so the father needs to decide if he wants to share the same bed or go to a different room. Even science has proven that co-sleeping can help parents and children get a more restful sleep. It helps the child to maintain a stable temperature and heart rate (which is really critical in infancy) and at the same time, it decreases the chance of sudden infant death syndrome. Also, this contributes to the child having better self-esteem, becoming independent faster, and doing great in school.
For them, sleeping separately means peace.
While many couples who start to sleep alone think that divorce is at their door, the Japanese see it differently. They value their sleep a lot and they don’t want to be disturbed while sleeping. This means that they don’t need and don’t like to put up with snoring, restless sleep, kicking, etc. Even though some don’t have the opportunity to sleep in different rooms, they still wish they could get their beauty sleep.
Couples have a history of sleeping separately.
Futons are filled with cotton, which provides support and comfort. In the past, only single sized ones were used as beds. So, even if you wanted to cuddle up with your loved one, you would have ended up between the sheets, on the cold floor, and you wouldn’t feel comfortable. Today there are families that still use this type of bedding, especially because it doesn’t take up a lot of space and it is easy to store.
Do you sleep separately from your partner? Do you think this type of practice might be even better for your relationship?
