Scenario

When roommates' different approaches to insomnia create conflict

My roommate and I are both dealing with insomnia but we're handling it in ways that make each other worse — I do yoga and meditation which they think is too 'woo-woo,' they take melatonin and sleep aids which I think are band-aids, and we end up keeping each other awake with our different coping strategies. We both want to sleep better but we're kind of sabotaging each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
