Couples Choose Separate Rooms for Better Vacation Snoozes

USAMon Nov 04 2024
Ever thought about sleeping solo on vacation? You're not alone! A growing trend, called "sleep divorce, " has many couples booking separate rooms to get some quality shut-eye. Surprisingly, 37% of couples in a Hilton report said they don't share a bed while traveling. At home, about a third of couples already sleep apart, with younger folks like millennials doing it even more. Why the shift? People want a good night's rest without disturbances like snoring. Stephanie Webb, a travel guide, says that while two beds can help, they might not be enough for light sleepers or those who want more space. Villas or suites with multiple rooms are better for this. For couples unsure about this setup, trying it on vacation can be a test run. Marriage therapist Fatemeh Farahan suggests creating romantic bedtime and morning rituals to stay connected. Other sleep trends include using hotel spas for better rest and the Scottish hurkle-durkling—staying in bed all day!
