Quality of sleep and relationship quality are linked, researchers say
Have a rough night's sleep? Then chances are you won't have sex tonight.
Your quality of sleep is linked to the quality of your relationship, according to a new University of Arizona study.

When women reported negative feelings about their relationship during the day, both the women and their partners slept poorly that night.
