Once considered as a clear sign of a failing marriage, celebrity couples now swear by it and attribute it to be the one thing that helps keep the marriage afloat.
Some couples call it the magic charm to a long-lasting marriage.
In a recent interview, actress Bette Midler who celebrated her 40th wedding anniversary with her husband Martin Von Haselberg, revealed that it’s their sleeping habits that have helped them stay married for so long.
The Hocus Pocus star said that she and husband have slept in separate bedrooms since the start of their relationship.
A 'sleep divorce' many claim helps make romance stronger, by allowing better rest and helping couples cherish their time with each other more.
The biggest example is that of the British royal family which have separate private chambers. Many members of the Royal Family have traditionally slept in separate rooms; with King Charles and Queen Camilla believed to retire to their own rooms late in the evening, as the late Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip once did.
In one interview, in 2020, Gwyneth Paltrow revealed that she and husband Brad Falchuk have separate bedrooms. She said, “It certainly helps with preserving mystery and also preserving the idea that this person has their own life.”
