Bed manufacturer Sealy (in the UK) has released the findings of a recent study into British sleep habits. While one could be a little cynical about a bed manufacturer espousing the benefits of couples sleeping separately, the stats of 36% of couples sleeping separately (even sometimes) does confirm the broad trends I discovered while […]
Sage Advice?
An article today in the UK’s Daily Mail starts with some vague references to vague studies about how couples who sleep together live longer, and follows that with ‘a recent study’ which found women who sleep with a partner have lower levels of cortisol and are therefore less stressed than single women who sleep alone.

To sleep, or not to sleep? That IS the question….
(I feel the need to share that this is the first post I have attempted from not only my iPad, but from a remote location. Hoi An, Vietnam, nonetheless, as I enjoy three weeks away with my lovely husband.) Even though I am placing a good deal of confidence in my skills of posting from […]

Case in point – over the last week there have been multiple articles questioning if Jessica Simpson and new husband Eric Johnson are already ‘sleeping in separate beds’ (inhale great gasp of […]
I’m on the NBC Today show in the US of A……
O. M. G. Hot on the heels of Baz Luhrmann’s ‘outing’ as a separate sleeper, my book featured on the NBC Today show in the USA. Just waiting for the live interview invite now!
The million dollar question…
Why do we sleep? It’s actually a tough question that ‘science’ has yet to provide a definitive answer for. An article in the Huffington Post is claiming to have the answers. And based on the reasonable comprehensive research I undertook when writing ‘Sleeping Apart not Falling Apart’, the connections are logical. It makes sense doesn’t […]
Strictly sleeping….
Strictly sleeping….. The Queen and Prince Phillip….. Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter…. Kanye and Kim Kardashian…. Me and my husband….. We’re all sleeping separately. And now it turns out the uber cool Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin are doing it too. Who else wants to join this CHIC and SENSIBLE club? (I do love […]
Listen to the good Doctors…..
Quite a good discussion about the merits of my favourite subject….
