You might not be falling out of love. You might just be exhausted.
When you can’t sleep, everything gets louder. The resentment. The anxiety. The dishwasher fight that suddenly feels like proof your entire relationship is broken.
I’ve seen this happen again and again: people blame their partner, their marriage, or themselves—when the real saboteur is sleep deprivation.
In this episode, I’m talking with marriage and family therapist and sleep expert Chrissy Lawler about what exhaustion is really doing to your mood, your parenting, and the people you love most.
Listen to learn:
Why exhaustion makes every conflict feel more serious
How poor sleep quietly drains connection and intimacy
The counterintuitive reason to get out of bed when you can’t sleep
How caffeine, alcohol, and nighttime habits sabotage your rest
Why sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is go to bed angry
Simple, evidence-based ways to start sleeping better tonight
Before you decide your relationship is broken, check your sleep. A full night of rest might change the entire conversation.
