Carson Daly Details Having First Panic Attack at TRL: 'I Thought I Was Going to Die'
View Story"The object is to stay together. That's what we'd like to do," Daly said. "And so reverse engineering that, it's like -- by any means necessary, for the two of us, [we want to] still be in a relationship when we're dying."
The TV personality said that he and Pinter "both secretly love" their unique sleeping arrangement, and have a "whatever it takes" attitude in their marriage.
"It's been good for us," Daly said of their "sleep divorce." "We don't do it all the time, but a couple of days during the week -- especially if I want to watch an Islanders hockey game kind of later at night -- I go into the guest room, she retires upstairs to read her book or watch a show."
He added that they tell one another, "Goodnight, I'll see you tomorrow," before going into their separate beds.
"It just takes a lot of attention out and it works," Daly told PEOPLE. "So I highly recommend sleep divorce."

The Voice host first opened up about his and his wife's "sleep divorce" back in 2019. At the time, Pinter was pregnant with their fourth child, Goldie.
"We're both pretty good-sized humans and it just wasn't really working when she was in her third trimester, and I also have sleep apnea, which is very sexy for the ladies out there, I'm sure," Daly said during an interview with PEOPLE in 2020. "She couldn't get comfortable, so we were like a commercial you would see, kicking each other and just not sleeping."
"We woke up and we just shook hands like, 'I love you, but it's time to sleep divorce. It'll be the best thing for all of us,'" he recalled.
Daly and Pinter met in 2005, and tied the knot in 2015. They share four kids: Jackson, 14, Etta, 11, London, 9, and Goldie, 2.
