Summary

We’re all tired… thankfully this week’s episode features sleep expert and clinical psychologist Dr. Wendy Troxel, who shares some real-world tips for better sleep. Jordana and Dr. Naomi tell us about their own experience with lack-of-sleep, and how their quality of sleep is impacted by sharing a bed with a partner. Dr. Troxel explains why some couples are turning to the concept of ‘sleep divorce’ and what her research has taught her about how couples can improve their co-sleeping. They respond to an email from a listener who is experiencing anxiety at the thought of all the sleep she’ll lose out on after her boyfriend moves in. What’s the secret to not letting sleep frustrations affect your relationship? Then Jordana and Naomi tackle this week’s Intentions email, presented by The Knot Vendor Marketplace, regarding an overbearing mother during the pre-wedding process. How do you keep the pressure of planning a wedding from ruining the experience altogether? They close things with some Triggered scenarios about splitting wedding gifts and a toilet mishap.
