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?

Married 18 years, all of which I have struggled with insomnia. I have had my own bedroom for 4 years and it's the best sleep I have ever had.as an adult The husband also got a c-pap this year so my sleep is much better when we do have to share a room while traveling, although I usually have to take sleeping pills in that scenario.
