Dr. Neil Stanley, internationally recognized sleep expert with over 35 years of experience in sleep research, and co-author of A Sleep Divorce: How to Sleep Apart, Not Fall Apart, joins us for a thoughtful conversation about rethinking the way couples sleep. We unpack the stigma surrounding separate sleeping arrangements and explore why forcing ourselves to share a bed, despite major sleep disruptions, can take a toll on both our health and relationships. Dr. Stanley shares the science behind healthy sleep and how intentionally choosing different sleep spaces can actually strengthen connection. We also talk about creative ways to maintain emotional and physical intimacy, even when sleeping apart.
