Here’s the truth: sleep is a system, not a character issue. So if your plan is “hope they choose better,” you’ll keep getting the same results. In this episode, we ask the questions you need to build a practical sleep system with mutual agreements. Using our Question Only Conversation approach will increase buy-in and cooperation that will help you both sleep well--like a baby (that doesn't wake up all night!).

And if you stick around to the end you'll get the 3-2-1 framework, a simple system to help you create a high performance sleep habit!!

Let's goooooooooooo................................to sleep! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
