"In fact, they even joke about having separate bedrooms to their friends – Katie says Tom snores, and this way she can get her beauty sleep!"

"Of course they spend time together alone at night like most married couples; after all, they conceived Suri!"

Apparently, the couple have had the same setup since the very beginning of their relationship, when Holmes moved into their first home – Cruise's rented Beverly Hills estate – in the spring of 2005 after a whirlwind courtship.

The source added: "At first, it was because Katie was Catholic and single, and they were only dating. It was the proper thing to do."

She continued: "Now that they are married, they don't feel the need to alter the arrangement. Tom has his master bedroom, and Katie has hers."

Another source claimed: "When Katie moved into the house, it was made clear that Tom occupied the north wing of the second floor and that she would occupy a cluster of suites on the south wing of the same floor.

"Katie wanted to make herself feel at home, and she insisted on remodeling her area, which consisted of a study, parlor and large bedroom suite.

"Over the course of several months, Katie created a larger space to have as her own. In the end, she designed the room of her dreams, a very feminine room painted in pastel colors, with a small carousel and filled with many stuffed animals."

Cruise bought their new home, a $35 million Beverly Hills mansion in May. Built in 1937 the 1.3 acre property boasts seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms.

Sources say it is being remodelled according to Katie's tastes - and the sleeping arrangements are most likely to stay just as they are.

A friend added: "It's a perfect fit, and Katie is fine with it."

A spokesman for the couple was not available for comment.
