Kaley Cuoco is opening up about her non-conventional sleeping arrangements with fiancé, Tom Pelphrey.
The 40-year-old Big Bang Theory star got candid about sleeping apart from her fiancé after struggling with their opposite schedules. During an appearance on the Armchair Expert podcast on Monday, Feb. 9, Cuoco said that the couple's numerous rescue dogs, along with their 2-year-old daughter Matilda, made it difficult for Pelphrey to get his rest.
"He was like, 'I can't do this anymore.' And I'm like, 'I understand.' So he started sleeping in the guest room," Cuoco shared, calling the move a "game changer."
She went on to explain that the Ozark actor is a "night owl" and tends to go to bed very late, while she is the opposite.
"He writes at night. He reads, It's his quiet time," Cuoco said of her fiancé. "So he's up late and wakes up late on a non-working day. We established this from day one. I go to bed early, and I wake up early. We're totally on different sleeping schedules."

Prior to their decision to sleep separately, Cuoco said she was always "tiptoeing around" in the mornings to avoid waking Pelphrey. She added that the idea to sleep separately was originally floated by Pelphrey and her initial reaction wasn't positive.
"We do couples therapy, and we love it," Cuoco said. ""So he brings us up. At first, I'm like, 'What will people think?' And he's like, 'I never see you at night.' I don't see him. It's not our sexy time. We don't cuddle. Yeah. We don't see each other at night. He goes, 'Why do you care?' And I sat there and I went, 'God, I don't care.' And he goes, 'Let's try it.' "

Going on to note that Pelphrey didn't "move" out of their bedroom but rather simply sleeps in the guest room, Cuoco said that her man "sleeps great" without the many distractions and disruptions.
Cuoco called the sleeping arrangement the, "best decision we ever made," adding, "It works great for us. We're, like, so much happier."
Cuoco and Pelphrey first met in 2022 after being set up by her manager. Cuoco joked of their instant attraction, "We got pregnant like an hour later."
