Love means enjoying the smell of your significant other’s B.O.
According to a new study out of the University of British Columbia in Canada, if you’re in a long-distance relationship or your significant other is away, you can sleep better… by smelling their shirt.
The researchers had people wear a shirt for 24 hours, WITHOUT deodorant, perfume, or cologne.
Then they had those people’s significant others sleep with those shirts over their pillow, and also had some people sleep with unscented shirts.
They found that the people who got to smell their partner through the night had better sleep quality, they felt more well-rested, and got more than an extra hour of sleep per week. The researchers say that sleeping with your significant other’s T-shirt provides the same benefits as taking a sleep aid like melatonin supplements.
