Not considering a “sleep divorce”

Sharing a bed is often seen as non-negotiable, yet for some couples it becomes a source of strain. Conflicting sleep schedules, snoring, or restlessness can lead to poor sleep—fueling irritability and resentment.
Experts often recommend a “sleep divorce,” or sleeping separately, as a healthy solution for couples struggling at night. Despite its name, this doesn’t signal marital failure—it’s a practical way to ensure both partners get the rest they need to thrive together during the day.
