Episode description

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.
