Couples are splitting up—but only at bedtime. “Now, there’s more physical touch and closeness between us during the day because we’re not grumpy from trying to sleep together at night,” says a couple who are among the growing number of married couples opting for a “sleep divorce.” “Sex isn’t just in this one shared bedroom anymore,” the couple says, adding, “It can be in his room, my room or wherever we want it to be.”
A new survey conducted by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine found that one in three couples in the US have chosen to sleep separately from their spouses in effort to improve their sex lives. “Couples who have a sleep divorce can see it as an opportunity to create some playfulness around intimacy,” a sexpert said. “They can flirt more during the day, take turns visiting each other’s room [for sex] and really become intentional about making that physical connection a priority.”
