I saw some articles somewhere that some people, despite living together in a relationship, sleep in different beds or even rooms.

I honestly can't imagine sleeping in the same bed as someone, personally. For a bunch of various reasons...

1) I need to be very cold to sleep and don't want to be disrupted by someone else's warmth

2) I'd be woken up when the other person shifts around, and vice versa

3) What if my partner snores, has sleep apnea, mutters in their sleep?

4) What if we just have different circadian rhythms? I like to be up at 6am, which means bedding at 10pm. But my partner(s) have historically been night owls.

Agreed. I've been keeping a 3:30am-9:30pm schedule for a couple years now and I don't see it working if I had to share a bed, or even a house with a partner. I suppose people have to make certain adjustments if the relationship is worth to them, and most people end up doing so.
More common than you think.
My parents were like that when I was little.

Then again, they split when I was 6...
