While back-to-back sleeping is usually normal, consider these nuances:
Sudden change: If your partner used to cuddle and now consistently turns away with tension, it could signal stress, conflict, or emotional withdrawal.
Rigid distance: If they move to the far edge of the bed or avoid all contact—even during the day—it may be worth a gentle conversation.
Other signs: Combine sleep changes with mood shifts, reduced communication, or intimacy decline.
🔍 Key question: Is this part of a pattern—or just how they sleep?
