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 …
A 2016 article (yes, that long ago) title “Unless You’re Oprah, ‘Be Yourself’ Is Terrible Advice” made its way to my browser’s favourites bar and continues to draw me back for another read every few months.
