Relationships
Solving Sleep Problems
Our feelings about bedtime are linked to our early relationships in childhood. Be it children refusing to go to bed, exhausted parents at their wits end, pets who won't get off the bed, snoring partners and ringing smart phones, our relationships with the people we love (and the technology we have come to rely on) impact what we crave the most: a good night's sleep. Our relationship expert, Dr. Nyiri Grigorian, offers insight into the emotions that surround sleep and bedtime for adults and children and provides practical advice on how to deal with these emotions and their effect on our relationships.
"Pick up the laundry." "Turn off the light." "Hang up the bath towels." Does this ranting sound like anyone you know? Bedtime is not necessarily the right time to be asking these questions. Note: you cannot brag if you've become a nagging hag.
