My teenage daughter and I are both night owls trying to change our sleep patterns for health reasons, but we keep enabling each other's late nights by having our best conversations after 11pm. We've realized that some of our most important learning about ourselves and each other happens in these tired, unguarded moments, and we don't know how to preserve that connection while also getting the rest we need.
More people experience this than they realize.
The timing of authentic connection is at odds with the requirements of restorative rest, forcing a choice between relational intimacy and individual wellbeing.
