About this episode
If you wake up wanting to smother your partner with a pillow because their snoring or unconscious acrobatic routine kept you awake all night, experts say you might want to consider a sleep divorce -- sleeping separately from your partner so you can get a better night's sleep. Guest host Piya Chattopadhyay talks to two people who've had sleep divorces -- and hears why it's actually helped their marriages. And we hear from a sleep expert about why sleeping apart can be good for your health. We'll hear from some of them about their experience, and speak to a sleep expert about what a sleep divorce is, what it means for your relationship (don't worry, it isn't all doom and gloom), and how to know if you might need one.
