Boyfriend's Reaction Seeing Separate Beds in Hotel Goes Viral: 'So Funny'

A video of a man's reaction to having two beds in a hotel room he's sharing with his girlfriend has gone viral on TikTok. The clip was posted by @ylilnoon and has received 1.6 million views since it was first shared on April 21. A message overlaid on the video reads: "When there are 2 beds after travelling together for 4 weeks." The footage shows a man entering what appears to be a hotel room, which has two separate beds. He is seen jumping up and down with his arms in the air, mouthing "yes" to the camera. The video later shows a woman frowning while pointing a mobile phone at a mirror before the clip ends.

While the man's reaction to the separate beds might have been disappointing for the woman, sleeping separately can have its benefits. In a January 2023 survey of 1,250 adults in the U.S. who shared a bed with at least one other person in the previous year, 1.4 percent of respondents who had a "sleep divorce" (slept separately from their partner) maintained it in the past year.

Those who continued the sleep divorce got an average of 37 minutes more sleep each night than when they shared a bed, according to the survey, which was conducted by the Sleep Doctor, the parent company of SleepFoundation.org. The survey also found that 25.7 percent of couples who slept separately ended up sharing a bed again. Those who recoupled slept 10 minutes more now than when they slept separately. Just over a third (34.9 percent) of those who recoupled at bedtime said they did so because they missed each other, the survey found.

'I Need My Personal Space'

Several users on TikTok could relate to the boyfriend's reaction in the clip, while others were simply amused. Miriam wrote: "Seeing this as an Orthodox Jew is so funny lol. I've never shared a bed with my husband." Eighty Eight said: "Sleeping in the same bed is torture," while @stuffffff02 wrote: "Meeee fr [for real], i love my bf but i NEED my personal space." Brenden said: "I get this. I love sleeping w/ my girl in our king bed at home, but when traveling you usually only get tiny beds and it's so uncomfortable to share so I never get good sleeps." Tylah wrote: "Hahaha my boyf would be the same. Like no, I must be touching at all times." Others were perplexed by the man's response, such as @bobby_miles who said: Makes no sense why would u be happy huh." "My bf [boyfriend] would be so mad if I was jumping for joy about this. I love my clingy pookie," said @miamx03. User 444 said: "My bf would be sad asf what kinda bf u guys have." Newsweek has contacted the original poster for comment via TikTok and email.
