Cameron Diaz thinks people “should normalize separate bedrooms” for
couples. Turns out, the actress isn’t alone.

In a perfect world, Diaz said she’d have it this way: “I have my house,
you have yours. We have the family house in the middle. I will go and
sleep in my room. You go sleep in your room.”

What is sleep divorce?Whether it’s due to snoring, tossing and
turning or stealing the covers, a study published in July found that
over a third of Americans agree with Diaz when it comes to so-called
“sleep divorces.”The American Academy of Sleep Medicine survey
shows that more than one-third of people say they occasionally or
consistently sleep in another room to accommodate their partner.45% of men reported they occasionally or consistently sleep in a different room, compared with just 25% of women.“Although
the term ‘sleep divorce’ seems harsh, it really just means that people
are prioritizing sleep and moving into a separate room at night when
needed,” Dr. Seema Khosla, pulmonologist and spokesperson for the AASM,
said in a news release.
