Usare il telefono prima di dormire può influire negativamente sulle relazioni romantiche.
In the intricate dance of relationships, small actions can often have significant consequences. According to Negin Motlagharani, a therapist, the overuse of technology can lead to missing cues for connection and emotional-deepening conversations. This is because technology can distract us from our partners and hinder the opportunity to build a stronger bond.
Another therapist, Anita Chlipala, lists a partner's use of electronics as a top complaint she hears from clients. If one partner stays up late engrossed in their phone, it might be a reason they are becoming a stranger to their partner. This is not just about the lost time for connection, but also about the feelings of frustration and resentment that can build up over time.
But what about sleep? Getting good sleep is an underrated tool for maintaining a healthy relationship. Chronic lack of sleep can slowly deteriorate a relationship over time. Lack of sleep may lead to increased irritability and potential emotional management struggles. Insufficient sleep (less than 6 hours) can increase anxiety, moodiness, and irritation the next day. Disagreements can turn into heated arguments when both parties are tired.
However, there is a silver lining. Prioritizing a nightly activity that ends the day on a positive note with your partner can help the health of a relationship. Watching shows you can connect on with your partner can help build a physical and emotional connection. The night-owl partner can engage in "pillow talk" with their partner before they fall asleep.
Setting limits on scroll time can help create a better wind-down ritual with your partner. It is better to go to bed angry and delegate serious conversations for a later date. Being okay with a partner needing a separate bedtime ritual is important for a better wind-down routine. If a partner stays up late due to personal time, honoring their need can strengthen the connection.
For therapists, couples' nightly use of TVs and phones before bedtime is an overlooked relationship killer. But they also offer solutions. The therapist mentioned for improving evening routines with a partner is not explicitly named, but the key advice includes strategies to restore restful sleep by addressing relationship issues such as betrayal, forgiveness, and clarity about the future of the relationship. Important tips emphasize finding personal clarity and managing emotions rather than focusing solely on forgiveness to improve couple's evening routines and sleep quality.
In conclusion, while technology can pose a threat to relationships, it is not insurmountable. By being mindful of our use of technology, especially before bedtime, and prioritizing sleep and quality time with our partners, we can build a better nightly ritual that helps us relax and still feel connected.
