Readers of my blog or book would be very familiar with the fact that a snoring spouse (and sorry guys, but it’s predominantly you) is the number one cause that disrupts a partner’s sleep. The most frustrating aspect of snoring is that it’s never intentional; it’s not a choice the snorer makes, and unfortunately… none […]
Sexy, separate sleeping…
Many thanks to Katelyn Swallow from Women’s Health and Fitness for writing such a balanced, interesting and informative article about separate sleeping. While I appreciate all publicity and discussion around the topic, most media tend to approach the topic as a curiosity; a ‘weird’ thing some couples do. Also, the predominant images in the media […]
Is 2017 your year for a Clean Sleep Revolution?
I know I’m leaving it a little late to be talking about new year’s resolutions, but I figure there may still be folk out there furiously planning their goals and change plans for 2017. So……. if you are still struggling to articulate a new and fabulous YOU for the 365s of 2017, I have a […]
A mighty dilemma….
In the last few months, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about relationships that stray from the path of ‘normal’. Specifically, what to do when the solution to keep a relationship on track strays from the Western culture norms we’ve grown up aspiring to. A question I keep coming back to is what draws […]
Practically fantastic…
For the contemporary and health conscious couple who have everything, I came across this great article in Builder – a building and design site. Titled “Who Needs Sleep? Everyone.” it provides a fantastic solution for anyone building a house and planning ahead for the high likelihood that as a couple in future, you may need […]
Misleading and Deceptive Conduct…
I often ponder the question ‘Why does marriage have to be forever? The thought of falling in love with a partner and spending a life time of blissful happiness is irresistible. It appeals to the romantic in us all and is held as a signal of success in most cultures. But statistics from across the […]
Talk to the hand…
I’m always struck by the interest society has in other people’s relationships. I understand that as social animals, we don’t lead isolated lives and like to connect with others. Taking an interest in others relationships is natural human behaviour and can be a positive experience. But there is a line to be crossed. And it’s […]
Just chatting about Apartners in Montreal…..
So when I was in Montreal a couple of weeks ago, I just happened to bump into Sharon Hyman, the fabulous film maker who is in pre-production for her next documentary Apartners. Well, truth be told, I didn’t just bump into Sharon. We arranged to catch up while I happened to be holidaying in Montreal […]
Arianna Has Spoken…
And…. I agree with her. Arianna Huffington (if you need the surname, because I think that if she isn’t already in the territory of single-name fame, she’s pretty darn close) has spoken about sleep. And by spoken, I mean written a book called ‘The Sleep Revolution‘. If you have been under a rock for the […]
Is being an Apartner something you should consider….?
I have flagged before the lovely Sharon Hyman, Canadian documentary maker, all round great chick, and massive advocate for doing relationships the way they work for YOU – not for the rest of the world’s judgmental glare and opinion. The sassy and spirited Ms Hyman! Sharon has written a great piece for Psychology Today and […]
