Couples on vacation who really want some R&R may consider a novel way to travel: booking separate rooms. Dubbed "sleep divorce," USA Today reports that it's a growing travel fad, with 37% of couples in Hilton's 2025 Trends Report saying they don't sleep in the same bed on trips. While the idea may have been considered taboo in the past, people who just want a good night's sleep are using their vacations to make resting in ideal conditions a priority. At home, 35% of couples already opt to sleep separately, the Week reports, and for younger generations, it's much more normalized. A 2023 American Academy of Sleep Medicine survey found that 43% of millennial couples (versus 22% of boomers) sleep in separate rooms. So what does sleep divorce look like on a trip? In simplest terms, it could just mean getting a double, though that doesn't solve all problems, such as a partner snoring loudly. "Two full beds can give you some distance, but for couples who want a little more space, or are light sleepers, it's not always ideal," travel guide Stephanie Webb tells Sleepopolis.
