Carson Dalyand his wifeSiri Dalyhave jumped on the popular “sleep divorce” trend.
The couple — who areexpecting their fourth child together— have been sleeping in separate bedrooms since September, Carson revealed on Thursday’s episode of theTodayshow.
They’re just two of the many couples across the country sleeping separately to keep their love alive.
In the case of Carson, 46, and Siri, 38,his sleep apneaandher pregnancyled to their decision.
“I got sleep-divorced in September. We cited irreconcilable sleeping,” Carson teased on the NBC morning show. “I have sleep apnea, my wife’s pregnant, and during a home renovation, we downgraded to a queen-size bed. We just felt like we’re better off sleeping in different beds.”
Carson also wears a CPAP machine, which can keep Siri awake.
“That’s like sleeping next to Darth Vader. Really attractive, huh?” Daly said. “Most women would want to sleep in another bedroom. … I don’t snore anymore, but the noise of the machine keeps her up.”

Dr. Mehmet Oz ofThe Dr. Oz Showwas onTodayto discuss the benefits of the growing trend. According to the health expert, sleeping at least seven hours a night has been shown to lower the risk for conditions like heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, arthritis and obesity.
“Sleep is important, that’s an important part of this,” Carson said. “You’re going to be a better person if you are rested, which can help your relationship.”
Siri and Carson are already parents to daughtersLondon Rose, 5, andEtta Jones, 7, as well as sonJackson James, 10.
Back in September,Carson first mentioned the he and Siri had fallen into sleep divorce.
“We don’t want to sleep apart, but we have now and I think secretly, we’re like, ‘This is kind of cool,’ because you get command of the whole room,” he said.
