When one partner's insomnia creates tension in the relationship

My husband has terrible insomnia and I'm a heavy sleeper, and he resents that I can just crash while he lies there for hours, and I resent being woken up when he tosses and turns or gets up to read. We're both sleep-deprived and cranky and it's affecting everything, but we don't know whose needs should come first.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A couple is caught between competing sleep needs, with one person's struggle with darkness becoming a source of mutual resentment.
