"Sleep Divorce: A Third of Americans Choose Separate Beds to Save Their Marriage"

Approximately one-third of American couples are opting for a "sleep divorce" by sleeping in separate rooms to prioritize their sleep and prevent relationship resentment caused by sleep disturbances. A recent survey from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine revealed that couples are using various strategies such as earplugs, eye masks, and adjusting bedtimes to accommodate each other's sleep needs. However, more than one-third of respondents chose to sleep separately to ensure a good night's sleep. Poor sleep can worsen mood and lead to arguments, making separate sleeping arrangements a viable solution for overall well-being and happiness. The trend of sleep divorce is gaining popularity on platforms like TikTok, with many individuals sharing their positive experiences and advocating for normalizing the practice.
