Occupation and pay has an effect on our quality of sleep, according to The Great British Bedtime Report from the UK's Sleep Council.
The research for the report was conducted using an online poll in January of this year. More than 5,000 UK adults completed the survey, which asked them questions about their bedtime habits, occupation and household income.
According to the report, couples who have a household income of less than around $54,400 (£35,000) a year are less likely to sleep together.
The survey showed that of those who earn below the $54,400 threshold, 77% of couples say they sleep together every night, compared with 82% of those earning over $54,400 per annum.
Jessica Alexander of The Sleep Council, adds:
"The most startling statistics were how household income, or lack of it, is clearly taking its toll on relationships [...] Among those earning less than £25k [around $39,000], 12% said they never sleep with their spouse or partner. Among those not working at all the figure is 13%."
Alexander goes on to say: "[It appears around $54,400] would be a clear dividing line in terms of the number of couples who share the same bed, and once you get to the over the £55,000 [$85,000] income bracket, the percentage of couples sleeping together rises further to up to 86%." The Sleep Council is a consumer education body funded by the trade association for British bed manufacturers.
