Is your partner wrecking your sleep? Cuddling up to the one you love in bed can be nice, but according to Talker, a new survey found, 82% of Americans admit their partner’s sleeping habits consistently wake them up during the night. That’s why 36% of them look forward to nights when they or their partner isn’t home and they get the whole bed to themselves.

The poll of 2-thousand U.S. adults who live with a partner finds:

  • More than three-quarters (79%) share a bed with their significant other, while 10% sleep in different rooms, 9% sleep separately in the same room and 5% say it depends on the night.
  • These numbers vary a lot by generation, as only 2% of Gen Z sleeps in a different room than their partner, compared to 18% of baby boomers.
  • A snoring partner (52%) is the most common habit that disrupts people’s sleep, followed by scrolling through their phone in bed (33%), and getting up in the night to use the bathroom (33%).
  • People also have trouble sleeping when their partner hogs the covers (27%), tosses and turns (25%) or “starfishes” across the bed (21%).
  • Despite all of these annoyances, most couples say they’re not ready to consider a sleep divorce just yet.
  • But those that have say it’s working for them, as 42% of those who sleep apart from their partner believe it’s “rejuvenated” their relationship and 23% say it’s improved their sex life, too.
  • Overall, 70% of those who sleep in a separate bed than their partner believe their sleep quality has improved as a result.
  • But just because their significant other isn’t in the bed doesn’t mean people are sleeping alone, as 20% say their kids under six sometimes sleep in their bed and 38% share their bed with a dog or cat.
  • And 24% admit they’d rather sleep with their child and/or their pet than their partner.

South Carolina Is Home To Several Of The Nation's Top Rated Seafood Restaurants

Oh, seafood. When it is good- it’s good, when it’s bad though it’s bad. It can also be a little pricey. So if you are planning on indulging in some fresh delicious seafood you want to know that it’s going to be worth the money. And luckily for you, we know some spots. It’s no secret that South Carolina is home to some great seafood. Especially in the Charleston area which is known (and often recognized) for its culinary scene. So when Yelp published their top 100 seafood spots I knew we’d find at least a few restaurants mentioned. But what are the best top-rated South Carolina seafood restaurants? Keep reading to find out.

What I found after skimming the list is that the Palmetto State scored 6 restaurants on the list including one that made the top 5. And spoiler alert they aren’t all in Charleston or the surrounding area. This is good as it means great seafood delicacies are accessible no matter what part of the state you call home. And whether it’s raw oysters, fried seafood platters, crab cakes, lobster rolls, the Lowcountry classic shrimp and grits, or anything else you can find it in the state!

The Best South Carolina Seafood Restaurants

To create this list Yelp identified businesses in their seafood category that had an abundance of reviews praising the term “seafood”. From there restaurants were ranked using factors like the total rankings. Only 10 restaurants per state we able to be included in this list to ensure “geographical diversity”.

It’s now past daylight savings time, it’s warm, and what better way to celebrate that than some fresh seafood, a cold drink, and perhaps a patio? Your next spot to do just that is waiting. So give this list featuring the best of the best South Carolina top-rated seafood restaurants a look. You can view the full Yelp list here. Did your favorite make the list? Let us know!

    There’s a good chance you drive through Florence on your way from Charlotte to Myrtle Beach or the surrounding area. Next time, time your trip to be there around meal time and you can get your high-quality seafood before you reach the beach. Tubb’s began as a supplier for a pop-up seafood market in Florence and transitioned into a full-service restaurant the following year. The menu features “regionally styled seafood platters” reminiscent of those you’d find in Calabash, NC as well as dishes that reflect the Lowcountry cuisine of South Carolina.

    Orangeburg is home to the 2nd highest rated seafood in North Carolina. That’s where you’ll find Hutto Seafood Market & Kitchen. According to its website whether you are looking for “fried whole fish with head-on or off, fish fillets, shrimp, or steamed black mussels, green mussels, clams, blue crab, crawfish, crab legs, king crab legs”, or anything else they have it all. They even offer drive-thru take out which I fully support! View the menu here.

  • 4. 167 Raw Oyster Bar

    This isn’t the first recognition 167 Raw or its family of restaurants has received. So if we keep hearing about it it must be top-notch! 167 Raw Oyster Bar is located in historic downtown Charleston, SC. They are a New England-style oyster bar featuring only the freshest locally sourced seafood. It’s by far the priciest restaurant featured on this list from SC, and the inclusion of caviar on their menu confirms that. In addition to raw bar offerings, they also offer dishes like seafood tacos, scallops, po boys, and a fish of the day. View the full menu here.
