During the session, the hosts discuss the concept of a 'sleep divorce', where romantic partners decide to sleep separately for better sleep quality. The conversation dives into assessing how embracing a sleep divorce can affect a couple's relationship - interpreting it as a form of rejection versus finding value in individual sleep preferences. The hosts also explore how mindfulness of one's needs and experiences can lead to better sleep habit changes. A tool they introduce is the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Flip Chart, which visually presents the process of change. Issues like fear, loneliness, resentment, and communication were analyzed in the context of considering a sleep divorce. The podcast concludes by mentioning the idea of sleep pods as a possible solution for shared sleeping spaces.
