Ever wanted to battle it out with your partner at night but they were too tired, and then the sound of them drifting off to sleep enraged you? Maybe you exchanged prickly words right before turning down the covers and wound up curled away from each other in fetal position, being careful not to touch. Rather than losing precious REM to talk things out, what you may need in these situations is a good night’s sleep. Think I’m dreaming? Then listen to today’s episode on how to shut your eyes—and mouth—for less processing and more peace.
