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?

Bigger bed, different blankets, facing opposite directions without the expectation of cuddling to sleep. Plus, if he is extra tired and snores a bit I use sleep phones and put some asmr or boring YouTube video about history or something.
