    We’re married and sleep in bunk beds in our NYC studio apartment — haters think it’s nuts, but we love it

    Casey Tayler likes being on top.

    The top of her and husband Andy’s queen-sized bunk beds, that is.

    “Baby, we will never go back — this is the life,” raved Tayler , 31, an NYC tastemaker, from her lofted lair in a trending TikTok testimonial. “We are roommates in a room together.”

    “This is peak marriage,” declared the innovative influencer, “millennial style.”

    And she’s urging fellow married folk not to sleep on her atypical bedding arrangements.

    Drifting off into dreamland while in the arms of an inamorato has been dubbed dèclassé in recent years, owing to the ever-buzzy “sleep divorce” trend.

    With the A-lister likes of Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden leading the unconventional charge , it’s a movement that sees lovebirds bidding a cheery goodbye to their martial mattresses for two separate sleep spaces instead — either individual beds or bedrooms.

    In fact, a recent survey by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine found that one in three couples across the US have grown accustomed to hitting the hay sans their sweetheart each night.

    “We know that poor sleep can worsen your mood, and those who are sleep deprived are more likely to argue with their partners,” Seema Khosla, a pulmonologist and spokesperson for the AASM, previously said in a statement .

    “Getting a good night’s sleep is important for both health and happiness,” added the expert. “So it’s no surprise that some couples choose to sleep apart for their overall well-being.”

    Tayler says bunking up with her hubby like two kids at camp has made married life a dream.

    “Sleeping is health and wealth,” said the content creator — who allocates a serious chunk of cyber spunk to spreading Taylor Swift fandom — in a video post.

    She recently snagged a $350 queen-size bunk bed from Amazon . The two-story sack grants her and Andy each enough room to snooze peacefully with their respective adult cats.

    “We are literally on different sleeping schedules,” Tayler continued explaining their incongruent routines. The sympathetic wife says Andy often works 16-hour overnight shifts and only catches a few Zs for a measly three to four hours a day.

    “Every single second of sleep is literally precious to this man,” said Tayler, a self-proclaimed “blanket stealer” with long, lanky limbs. “He does not want me to be anywhere near him.

    “He needs his space.”

    A native of Florida, Tayler also claimed that bedding down in bunk beds helps keep things cool at night.

    “We literally hate being hot,” she said. “There is nothing worse to Andy and I than being hot and sticky.

    “The last thing I wanna do is have another body weight on top of me while I’m sleeping.”

    Fawning fans of Tayler’s nonconformist setup hailed her a “genius,” agreeing, in the comments, that sleep divorces “saved” their marriages.

    Detractors, however, deemed the dreamlike deal a “nightmare.”

    “I could never,” spat a naysayer.

    “I’m toxic,” admitted another. “I’d just sleep on his bunk with him and the other would never be used.”

    “Not sleeping next to my husband is like a nightmare,” an equally unimpressed critic wrote. “Having a roommate-like relationship sounds like a nightmare.”

    But Tayler remained unalarmed by the sleep divorce shade.

    “We have lived in NYC studios for six years,” she responded. “We have completely different sleep styles and times of sleep!

    “We’re together all day every day we’re not working!” continued the trailblazer.

    “I have no time to miss him if I tried.”
