Sometimes we just want to hug the New York Times for offering us those small, insightful glimpses into the lives of the eccentrically rich. Thanks to their thorough tutelage, we've already learned all about how rich people fight depression (they refurbish their kitchens!) what rich people do in the morning (they cause traffic jams in front of the 92nd Street Y!) and now, the newest trend for married couples with two different sleep schedules…customized apartments with master his and hers wings

Apparently the newest "big thing" in custom architecture is his/her master bedrooms, to accommodate husbands and wives with different sleep schedules, and—presumably—occasional "houseguests." Kidding! The article is quick to point out on at least four or five different occasions that the separate bedrooms have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the couples' sex lives.

More about this not-sex-related trend after the jump!

Anyhow, in the Times' defense, they've at least tried to make this particular trend accessible to the rest of the social stratosphere, by helpfully pointing out the bourgeoisie alternative to building his/her wings (sleeping in separate bedrooms) and even noting the increasing prevalence of lower-class remedies (better known as, "that's it—I'm sleeping on the couch tonight!"

And, as we said previously—and we cannot emphasize this point enough—the his/hers chambers are not an indication of a faltering sex life. More likely, according to the Times, it's the result of a hard-working Wall Street type marrying a celebutante, and the conflicting sleep schedules (i.e. early riser vs. late bloomer) that inevitably result.

That and and Wall Street type's predilection for diddling the maid really, really, ridiculously loud snoring.

In any event, it looks as though the Times may have omitted one important query in their widely publicized article "Questions Couples Should Ask (Or Wish They Had) Before Marrying." The question? "Your bedroom…or mine?"
