Cameron Diaz is telling couples to try unconventional ‘sleep divorce’ trend

Cameron Diaz said a 'sleep divorce' it totally 'fine' with her.

Cameron Diaz has called on couples to ‘normalise’ having a ‘sleep divorce’.

Diaz is set to make her return to the big screen following a ten year hiatus, coming out of retirement to star in Netflix’s movie Back In Action, which will be out in November.

In 2017, she decided to take a step back from the limelight to focus on her philanthropic pursuits and her family, after having two children with her husband, Good Charlotte frontman, Benji Madden.

But it seems as though she's back, and she’s giving us all some much-needed relationship advice.

The inevitable duvet wars, going to bed at different times, waking up an hour earlier than you need to because of your other half’s alarm - there’s many complications that come with sleeping in the same bed as your partner.

And if you’re married, then it seems like you’ve pretty much signed up to this happening for the rest of your life.

Well it seems as though Diaz has a solution for those bedroom obstacles, and that is in the form of a ‘sleep divorce’.

Whilst it sounds a bit brutal, some couples have claimed that it has actually changed their relationship for the better.

A sleep divorce is basically when couples choose to have individual sleeping arrangements - so that consists of different beds, sleep times, or in some cases, even completely separate rooms.

According to research conducted last year by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), a whopping 29 percent of US residents are opting to sleep separately from their partners.

And the Charlie’s Angels star has since urged people in relationships to give the revolutionary sleeping arrangements a try.

“We should normalise separate bedrooms,” she said during an appearance on Molly Sims' Lipstick on the Rim podcast last year.

“To me, I would literally, I have my house, you have yours. We have the family house in the middle. I will go and sleep in my room.

“You go sleep in your room. I'm fine.”

Whilst she might have a point, there are currently no studies to suggest that having a ‘sleep divorce’ is any better for your quality of sleep.

The romantic in me still quite likes the idea of sleeping in the same bed as your partner, but if it stops duvet hogging, maybe it's worth it!
