Casey Tayler loves to be on top.
It was the top layer of her and her husband, Andy’s, queen-sized bunk bed.
“Baby, we’re never going back — that’s life,” New York fashionista Taylor, 31, raved from her loft lair in a popular TikTok post. “We were roommates living in the same room.”
“This is peak marriage, millennial style,” the innovative influencer declared.
She urged married people not to sleep About her atypical bedding arrangement.
In recent years, due to the rise of the “sleep divorce” trend, falling asleep in the arms of a lover has been dubbed as “losing social status.”
Led by A-listers like Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden, the movement is breaking free from the constraints of tradition and has couples saying goodbye to their husband-and-wife mattresses in favor of two separate sleeping spaces — separate beds or bedrooms.
In fact, a recent survey by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine found that one-third of couples in the United States have become accustomed to sleeping without their loved ones each night.
“We know that sleep deprivation can worsen mood, and people who are sleep deprived are more likely to argue with their partners,” pulmonologist Seema Khosla, a spokesperson for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), said in a previous statement.
“Getting a good night’s sleep is important for both health and well-being,” the expert adds. “So it’s no surprise that some couples are choosing to sleep in separate bedrooms for their overall health.”
Taylor said living with her husband is like two kids at summer camp, making married life a dream.
“Sleep is health and wealth,” the content creator, who has spent a lot of his online energy spreading love for Taylor Swift, said in a video post.
She recently bought a $350 queen-size bunk bed on Amazon that’s large enough for her and Andy to sleep peacefully with their respective adult cats.
“We do sleep differently,” Taylor continued, explaining their inconsistent schedules. The sympathetic wife said Andy often worked 16-hour night shifts and only got three to four hours of sleep a night.
“Every second of sleep is precious to this man,” said Taylor, a lanky-limbed “blanket thief.” “He doesn’t want me near him.
“He needs his space.”
Taylor, a Florida native, also claims that sleeping in bunk beds helps keep him cool at night.
“We really hate heat,” she said. “For Andy and I, there’s nothing worse than being hot and muggy.”
“The last thing I want to do is have another person’s weight on me while I sleep.”
Fans who were appreciative of Taylor’s non-conformist personality praised her as a “genius” and said in the comments that the sleeper divorce “saved” their marriage.
However, critics call this dream deal a “nightmare.”
“I could never do that,” one naysayer shouted.
“I’m toxic,” admitted another. “I will only sleep with him in his bunk, the other bed will never be used.”
“Not being able to sleep next to my husband sounds like a nightmare,” wrote one equally unimpressed reviewer. “A roommate-like relationship sounds like a nightmare.”
But Taylor remains unfazed by the shadow of divorce.
“We lived in a studio apartment in New York for six years,” she replied. “Our sleeping patterns and hours were completely different!”
“Besides work, we spend every day together!” the Trail Blazer added.
“Even if I tried to miss him, I just didn’t have the time.”
