What Happens If You Sleep With… and How It Affects Your Health

Sleep is vital for body and mind, but “some nighttime habits can disrupt your rest without you even realizing it.”

Electronics such as phones or TVs interfere with deep sleep cycles, often leaving you “fatigued and less focused during the day.”

Sharing a bed with pets or using unwashed bedding increases exposure to “dust mites, hair, and bacteria,” which may cause irritation or allergies.

Wearing tight clothing or sleeping in awkward positions can hurt circulation, cause cramps, or leave you sore, lowering sleep quality.

Poor sleep affects mood and productivity. As the article notes, “lack of restful sleep can lead to irritability, affect concentration, and decrease daily productivity.”

Long-term, these habits may bring “chronic stress, high blood pressure, or a weakened immune system.”

Conclusion: What you sleep with matters. Small changes—like removing electronics, washing bedding, or choosing looser clothes—can help you “rest better, prevent discomfort, and maintain your overall well-being.”
