Sleep Divorce? Why I Moved Into My Own Bedroom

from How It's Really Going at 50 with Shana Recker · host Shana Recker

  Yup. I said it. I’m officially sleeping in a different room than my husband—and I’ve never felt better. In this unfiltered episode, I share why we made the decision, how it’s improved everything from my hormones to our relationship, and why you might want to rethink the “you must share a bed” rule too. If you’re exhausted, moody, snappy, and one more night of snoring might send you over the edge… this one’s for you. ✅ What You’ll Hear in This Episode How one head cold turned into the best sleep decision ever Why I hate the term “sleep divorce” (and what we call it instead) How perimenopause made me hypersensitive to sound, temperature, and breathing noises What happened when I asked my husband for my own room How we stay connected and intimate without sleeping in the same bed The sleep + mood connection you’re probably underestimating Why this isn’t “giving up on marriage”—it’s actually saving our sanity Note: This episode was recorded earlier for a previous project I’ve since closed.
