Married Sleeping Separately is changing home design in America!
Posted on September 26th, 2008 by Al Lorenz
The National Association of Home Builders predicts that 60% of all custom, upscale homes will be built with two “owner suites” by 2015! Sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, snoring and other sleep difficulties seem to be driving much of the trend. Here is one of those statistics that pops up that makes me think wow, I didn’t know that!
The trend is pretty clear, with only 12% of married couples sleeping alone in 2001 as compared to 23% in 2005 from surveys conducted by the National Sleep Foundation. These are the types of lifestyle trends that impact home design so expect to see more homes with multiple “master suites” in the future, whether custom homes or not.
