Yet for the millions of people who are sleeping with someone\u00a0else in their bed, this advice leaves out a huge elephant in the room \u2014 the other person sharing your sheets.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>As my guest today argues, a shared bed means shared sleep issues that need to be tackled with shared solutions. Her name is Dr. Wendy Troxel, she\u2019s a clinical psychologist, a sleep specialist, and the author of\u00a0<i>Sharing the Covers: Every Couple\u2019s\u00a0Guide to Better Sleep<\/i>. We begin our conversation by discussing how sleep not only affects people\u2019s relationships, but people\u2019s relationships affect their sleep, and how this bidirectional dynamic can become either a vicious\u00a0or virtuous\u00a0cycle, depending on the quality of sleep that a couple gets. We then talk about the various issues couples deal with in sharing a bed, from snoring to a mismatch in temperature preferences. We also get into the complications that come with bringing kids into the picture, and Wendy gives her take on the issue of family co-sleeping. From there we turn to solutions for shared sleep problems, and dig into the idea of sleeping in separate beds. Wendy unpacks the way the taboo around separate sleeping has waxed and waned throughout history, why it works for some couples, and the options for implementing it, from sleeping in separate bedrooms to a more moderate\u00a0approach called the \u201cScandinavian\u00a0Method.\u201d Wendy also gives advice to couples who want to continue to share the same bed, but struggle with the fact that one person is a morning bird and the other is a night owl.<\/div>\n<h2>Resources Related to the Podcast<\/h2>\n<h2>Connect With Wendy Troxel<\/h2>\n<div>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"aom-subscribe-single aom-hidden\">\n<div class=\"aom-subscribe-left\"> <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" class=\"aom-document\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/wp-content\/themes\/aom\/assets\/img\/document.svg\" alt=\"document\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"aom-first-line\">Never miss an update<\/p>\n<p class=\"aom-second-line\">Subscribe to the AoM Newsletter<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/articles\/could-sleeping-separately-improve-your-relationship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>in: Health, Health &amp; Fitness, Podcast Brett &amp; Kate McKay \u2022 August 30, 2021 When it comes to advice around getting better sleep, nearly all [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1530,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1529"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1529"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1529\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1530"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1529"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1529"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
