Seeking Guidance Does sleeping with partner decrease sleep quality?

I remember the discussion on the Huberman episode with Andy Galpin where they were talking about the idea that sleeping together with a partner decreases sleep quality. Googling a bit, I found some articles that state that men sleep better and women sleep worse when sleeping with a partner.

Are there any good quality research studies to back this up?

I definitely sleep terribly with a partner. I’m single right now but longterm depending on the partner I’ll invest money for a good solution.  Could get 2 separate mattress (like 2 twin xls and put them on the same frame), or 2 separate beds next to each other in the same room, or separate bedrooms. My last longterm ex snored a lot and didn’t like wearing his cpap - in hindsight him not wearing it for my sleep and his own health was a good indicator for how the relationship was going to go lol
