Oh my god this is the most relatable post I have ever read. I have had insomnia my whole life and now that things are heating up (pun intended!!!) it’s getting worse. Why does so much of the advice have to be so very stupid?!?! I’m nearly positive if men had this problem there would be an effective treatment by now….meanwhile I will just keep spending the hours between 2-4am reading shitty thrillers on my phone’s kindle app and trying to convince myself that this is a bonus 🤣

Big smiles reading this one Jess! Reading about the bed situation unfold to your analogy of I-26 had me busting laughing! More comedy please!

Oh! The funny I needed today!! I am dying of laughter - hostage tape?? 😂 If only we could all sleep like we did in the 90s... I remember those blissful nights of long, uninterrupted sleep. Maybe those show back up again on the other side of perimenopause. ✨

Like the Jeffersons, you're moving on up! You've elevated your sleep status without curbing your enthusiasm. Loved the humor article - simply divine and laugh out loud funny. I can relate to your ups and downs 🤣.

Yeah, I know, right?! I'm a dont-touch-me kind of sleeper. Thankfully, Gus isn't a sleep cuddler either. 22 years this Oct of co-sleeping.

Ha !! This is a hilariously accurate assessment of the gradual state of things. Fellas, a quick tip....start with the mouth tape...it also works in the daytime when you think you have great advise for your peeimenopausal wife. As an 80's kid...I never thought our love would turn into a Zul and the Keymaster situation , but it sure keeps things spicy. Humph..humph...humph....
