Definitely some truth in this article. I can confidently say that when my partner feels "happy" about me, she does tend to sleep a bit closer.

We sleep in a king-size bed – and don't take up no more than half the space – so it's really noticeable when she literally sleeps "on the other side" of the bed. Although it's normal for us to get in bed & embrace each other as we fall asleep, we'll usually end up apart in the morning from some tossing & turning & tug-of-war with the sheets.
