TL;DR Summary

Actress Cameron Diaz has expressed her support for "sleep divorce," the practice of sleeping separately from one's partner to avoid sleep troubles. Diaz believes that separate bedrooms should be normalized, allowing couples to have their own space for a good night's sleep while still having a shared bedroom for intimacy. A survey from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine found that over a third of Americans occasionally or consistently sleep in another room from their partner. Experts suggest that there can be potential benefits to sleep divorce, especially when one partner has a sleep disorder or when differing sleep preferences negatively impact both partners' sleep. However, if there are no sleep problems, sleeping in the same bed is considered better for the release of oxytocin and other bonding hormones.
