HOW you like to sleep can affect whether you’re boyfriend or girlfriend material, according to new research.

Three in five Americans would hesitate to enter a relationship with somebody who had an opposite “sleepuation”.

Whether it be preferring a hot room, a soft mattress or needing a window open, a survey found 62 per cent of people said they’d hesitate to date somebody who preferred to sleep in different room conditions than themselves.

The poll of 2,000 Americans, conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Slumber Cloud, took aim at the perfect “sleepuation” and found people divided.

For example, 42 per cent of respondents said they preferred to sleep in a warm room, while 44 per cent said they prefer a colder room. The rest had no preference.

Respondents were also split on whether or not having a window open is necessary to get a good night of sleep, with 43 per cent saying they like a window to be open, compared to 40 per cent wanting all windows closed.

The mattress was also a battle ground: 41 per cent preferred a softer mattress, whereas only 25 per cent preferred a firmer one.

Whether or not the TV needs to be on also had Americans split. Forty-two percent say they typically fall asleep with it on, with 58 per cent saying they typically sleep with it off.

The same goes for our comforters. About 30 per cent of respondents prefer to wrap up in a down comforter, compared to 40 per cent who opt for an alternative.

But just because we hesitate to commit to someone who sleeps differently than us, doesn’t mean it’s always a deal-breaker.

The survey also found that, of those in a relationship, the average respondent endures nearly a month’s worth of sleepless nights every year just to accommodate their partner’s differing sleeping needs.

When it comes to their bedding, Americans can be quite selective. Memory foam pillows were the top choice for resting a weary head, followed by shredded foam and down.

Memory foam was also the most popular type of mattress owned.

Three in four of the respondents said they also prefer their bedding to have cooling features, with 33 per cent saying their biggest concern when sleeping is waking up too hot.

“With foam mattresses being the most popular type owned and traditionally trapping in heat, it is no wonder that most are looking for cooling features in their bedding,” said Katie Mellott of Slumber Cloud.

“When looking for bedding evaluate the different cooling technologies that are right for you and your partner.

“Bedding made up of fabrics such as bamboo and eucalyptus use moisture-wicking technology that works to cool you down after you sweat, others are designed to proactively cool you down and stay in a comfortable temperature range from the moment you get into bed.”

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97!

NewsColony JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97! Jane Fryer is pictured above with Jack Hearn. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute’ There is a startling moment in Jack Hearn’s extremely spick and span kitchen, when I’m standing between his trophy table and the wall and he’s telling me how he could finish me off with his huge, bearlike paws. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute.’ We have already had a lively discussion about whether he should, or should not, throw me over one of his surprisingly wide shoulders on to his beautifully vacuumed living room floor. ‘I could throw you, of course I could! But I won’t,’ he says.  ‘It’s not fair — you don’t know...
