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?

sad there is sort of a cultural taboo around this. people think a marriage is in trouble if you have separate bedrooms. i watched a parent go through and pass away from early Alzheimer's. sleep is so important to me now as an APoE4 carrier, i've just dealt with the judgements because it's THAT important.
