We’re newly married and sleep in separate bedrooms — and it doesn’t sacrifice our intimacy
Kelsey and Chad Thompson, a newly married couple in suburban Atlanta, sleep in separate primary bedrooms. They say the arrangement improves their sleep quality, health, and intimacy. Their practice reflects a growing trend of couples opting for separate sleeping spaces, often called a “sleep divorce.”
- ▪The Thompsons have lived in a home with two full primary suites, each with its own ensuite bathroom, since they married last September.
- ▪A 2023 survey by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine found that 35% of Americans sleep apart from their partner, with 43% of millennials reporting a “sleep divorce.”
- ▪Harvard Health has published guidance noting that many couples experience better sleep and reduced tension when sleeping separately.
- ▪Both partners cite personal reasons—Chad’s light‑sleep sensitivity and Kelsey’s recovery from alcoholism—as drivers for the separate‑room setup.
