Why teens are trying therapy via Fortnite and should you get a sleep divorce?

Jenny Adams' book examines the phenomenon commonly called 'sleep divorce' and offers practical advice for couples who choose to sleep separately to protect sleep quality and relationship health. Drawing on interviews with nearly 100 couples and co-authorship with sleep expert Dr. Neil Stanley, the book addresses common concerns, stigma, logistics and strategies for negotiating separate sleeping arrangements. It differentiates decisions made for sleep health from those reflecting relationship breakdown and provides guidance for trials, communication and managing practicalities like travel and space. The authors also discuss when separate sleeping might indicate underlying sleep disorders and encourage medical assessment where appropriate. Overall, the book reframes sleeping apart as a valid, sometimes temporary, strategy for improving wellbeing rather than evidence of relationship failure.
