Would you sleep better, and maybe even like your partner more, if you stopped sleeping next to them?
This week, Nikki and Damaris are talking about “sleep divorce,” the increasingly popular practice of couples sleeping separately. Nikki even puts it to the test for a week, while Damaris tries to get past the fact that the name alone makes the whole thing sound mildly catastrophic.
They get into the practical reasons separate sleeping can make sense, from snoring and wildly different schedules to blanket stealing and the simple desire for a good night’s sleep. But the conversation quickly turns into something bigger: why can having a little space of your own feel so good when you’ve been coupled up for years?
Nikki and Damaris talk about the intimacy you might lose when you stop sharing a bed, the surprising freedom of occasionally doing exactly what you want without checking in, and why marriage doesn’t necessarily have to follow all the rules we inherited about what being “together” is supposed to look like.
Maybe wanting a room, a night, or even just a comforter to yourself isn’t a sign that your marriage is in trouble. Maybe you just really, really want your own blanket.
