You might think this is a cheap attempt at an attention-grabbing headline….. and maybe I’m a little guilty of that. But it’s also true. However, before we go any further I do need to clarify that I am not talking about a traditional, end-it-all, our-marriage-is-over, divorce. I’m talking about a sleep divorce. (I’ve written before […]
Feeling like you’re alone…..
If you visit my site regularly, or have just stumbled on it while searching the web to see if there’s just a chance that someone else in the world might happen to want to sleep separately from their partner, I thought I would bring a page to your attention. The reason I do this is […]
Is it time to be a ‘Hot Dog Princess’ when it comes to sleep?
An article in 2016 about a young girl’s inspired choice of princess outfit for her ballet class captured my imagination back then, and still does to this day. Ainsley Turner from North Carolina, responded to her Holly Spring’s dance school’s Princess Week, by choosing a head-to-toe Hot Dog costume. Ainsley’s outfit choice turned her into […]

Joining Stephanie and me was my good friend Bev Short and between us, we talk about how important sleep is to health – especially […]
Sleeping Separately….. an intelligent Trump card
You would need to be living under a rock at the moment to miss the news that Donald and Melania Trump don’t share a bedroom. I can’t tell you the sheer volume of Google Alerts I’ve been inundated with since US Weekly broke the earth-shattering news. My responses cycled between mild interesting, to ‘meh….’, to […]
Who said Millennials weren’t switched on and sensible…..
A recent article in the Style section the Sunday Times (UK) features two millenials talking about their separate sleeping. What’s so interesting about that I hear you ask???? What makes it interesting is that separate sleeping is mostly considered the domain of older people (I won’t give a specific age, lest I offend). “My grandparents […]
The bigger picture…
I recently had a chat with Bev Short, Vitality Coach and Menopause Specialist from New Zealand, on her YouTube channel. Bev’s focus is to work with women over 40 around the world to transform their health, energy, menopause symptoms and happiness. One of Bev’s key messages for her clients is to get good sleep. Unsurprisingly […]
Snoring: A cause for combat… or concern?
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 […]
Practically fantastic…

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 […]
