A recent study done in England showed that 30 to 40 percent of couples sleep apart. Americans are lagging behind the Brits a bit — a 2005 study showed nearly 25 percent of \u00a0American couples sleep in different bedrooms.<\/p>\n

The experts say the trend will grow. The National Association of Homebuilders predicts by next year 60 percent of custom homes will have separate master suites.<\/p>\n

Here are three famous couples who decided — for better or for worse — to sleep apart:<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip<\/h2>\n

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip…was there ever a more stately sounding couple? The royal pair\u00a0spend their nights royally separated, as is the custom of royal modesty and the upper-crust society of England.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Kevin Jonas and Daniella Deleasa<\/h2>\n

That’s right; he of the Jonas brothers boy band sleeps in a separate bedroom from his wife. Bride Daniella says the separation is due to\u00a0Kevin’s snoring, a popular reason for couples who’d rather not share a bedroom. Just ask our next couple…<\/p>\n

\"Kevin<\/a><\/p>\n

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes<\/h2>\n

The long-defunct\u00a0couple practiced the custom of sleeping apart. The actor of too-many-movies-to-count fame is\u00a0a serial snorer. Holmes confined Cruise to a “snoratorium”, a specially designed bedroom where Tom could snore to his heart’s content.<\/p>\n

A Deeper Look at Couples Sleeping Behavior<\/h2>\n

We’ve certainly made light of the aforementioned couples — royal and roiling — because, well, it’s fun to take light-hearted jabs at celebrities.<\/p>\n

However, we’ve discovered these couples point us to a larger question: Do their habits mirror the overall tendencies of the less well-known sleeper?<\/p>\n

According to the National Sleep Foundation’s 2011 poll\u00a0exploring\u00a0bedroom habits, the co-sleeping picture isn’t as bleak as you think. Nine out of 10 people who were either married, partnered or living with someone slept within cuddle-distance of their significant other.<\/p>\n

But spouses and partners apparently aren’t our only co-sleepers: 10 percent of cohabiting people slept with their child(ren) and\/or with their pet(s) while only\u00a0six percent slept alone.<\/p>\n

And regardless of what celebrities are\u00a0up to,\u00a0the overwhelming majority of us apparently prefers to snuggle up: Among all people surveyed – not just those with significant others – seven out of 10 slept with someone else while one in five people indicated they slept alone.<\/p>\n

This past year the National Sleep Foundation published an international poll in which they surveyed sleepers from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Japan and Mexico.<\/p>\n

They found that the Japanese were four times more like than Germans to sleep alone. In fact, the survey discovered, 28% of respondents from Japan said they slept alone.<\/p>\n

Of the six countries surveyed, Americans were the least likely to sleep with their children.<\/p>\n
