The Sleep Solution, Why Your Sleep's Broken, How to Fix It

In the late 1990's, Dr. James Maas coined the phrase "power nap" and since that time, there have been many trendy sleep terms. In this episode, we discuss three popular sleep concepts and the stories/science behind them.  In this episode we will:

• define the term orthosomnia and learn more about the concept's origins
• understand how orthosomnia applies to the greater concept of sleep monitoring
• explore what a sleep divorce entails and the difficulties with the term
• dissect the reasons why couples may choose to sleep apart, and how this can ultimately fail to address serious underlying medical conditions
• touch upon relationship power imbalances that make sleep apart not an option for some individuals
• understand the origins of revenge bedtime procrastination
• differentiate "in-bed" procrastination from "going to bed" procrastination
• work towards ways to minimize the factors that exacerbate bedtime procrastination
