S6 E128 - END SLEEP DIVORCE with 2 Duvets (Scandinavian Trick)

Sharing a bed but hating every minute? 🤬 Blanket thieves and different temperature needs are a real nightmare for sleep quality. Dr. Daniel Baughn and Dr. Michelle Zetoony explain why a "Sleep Divorce" (sleeping in separate rooms) isn't the only option and how the Scandinavian Sleep Method can save your night's rest.

Temperature disruptions (especially during REM sleep) can skyrocket cortisol and crash your blood sugar. In this episode, we break down:

1) The exact definition of the Scandinavian Sleep Method.
2) How separate bedding fixes thermoregulation differences between partners.
3) Other key adjustments like split mattresses, clothing layers, and noise control.
4) How to stop resentment before it ruins your sleep and your partnership.

We also have a special announcement about our upcoming Sleep Takeout coloring book, coming May 2026!
