Episode 96: Things That Go Bump (Or Bang) In the Night

Do you and your partner go to bed at the same time? In the same
bed? In the same ROOM?   It’s easy to get stuck in the
stereotypes of what a couple “should” be doing, and what it means
if you and your partner have unconventional sleep habits. After
polling our Instagram audience, we found that many of you are
worried that “different” is spelled t-r-o-u-b-l-e, so in this grab
bag episode, we address a collection of sleep-related topics that
we hope will put your minds at ease. We’ll tell you all about the
choices we’ve made about bed times, bed arrangements, to cuddle or
not to cuddle, and what to do with the dogs when it’s time for
lights out.   Now, we couldn’t talk about sleep habits without
talking about the ever-popular subject of sex dreams, so don’t miss
out on the hilarious revelations of what really gets our
subconscious motors running and how we feel about not always
co-starring in each other’s fantasies.   (Heads up: At the
very end of the episode, we define sexsomnia, how it can be a
game-changer, and how it can bring up tricky issues around
consent.)   Links & Resources: YouTube Video:  What
