Is sleeping in separate bedrooms the secret to a happy marriage?

Funny hosts Dave and Reese dive into the growing trend of sleep divorce, where couples choose better sleep over the tradition of sharing a bed. Along the way, they explore snoring, menopause, middle-of-the-night bathroom trips, sleep routines, and the seemingly impossible search for the perfect pillow.

They also share stories about sleeping in strange places, getting older, and why a good night's sleep feels a lot different in your 50s than it did in your 20s.

For Dave and Reese, the verdict is simple: they'd rather keep sharing a bed and fight the pillow instead.

If you're navigating midlife marriage, changing sleep habits, or just wondering why your arm falls asleep before the rest of you does, this episode is for you.
