    What would you do if you had no place to sleep tonight? That’s the question Kameron faced every day for two years.

Kameron’s experience represents some of the struggles too many people face: housing insecurity, safety, and a lack of sleep. Our sleep expert Dr. Shelby Harris joins Kate Berlant to talk about how these sleep struggles play out as an alternative in our country, as more people than ever are forced to live in their vehicles.  Learn more and submit your own sleep questions at www.vox.com/areyousleeping And, let us know what you think of the show at www.vox.com/survey Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Filing For A Sleep Divorce? (Listener Question)

    Filing For A Sleep Divorce? (Listener Question)
    2022/05/13
    Sleep Divorce… it sounds serious. But for some, it’s the only way to stay in a relationship. Studies show that when one partner’s snoring or tossing and turning keeps the other person up, the relationship suffers. But breaking up the marital or couples bed can be seen as taboo, and scary. Because, after all, couples are supposed to sleep together and enjoy it, right? But what if sleeping separately is the key to a happy relationship? Before you run for the spare bedroom, listen in to our sleep expert.  Learn more and submit your own sleep questions at www.vox.com/areyousleeping And, let us know what you think of the show at www.vox.com/survey Learn more about your ad choices.

  • The Short Sleep Superpower

    The Short Sleep Superpower
    2022/04/29
    Jane Evans and Joanne Osmond are sisters with a superpower: they only need about four hours of sleep a night! The sisters each carry a rare genetic mutation that experts like Dr. Ying-Hui Fu say makes them “natural short-sleepers” – people who only need a few hours of sleep to live their best lives. They don't need caffeine to get through their day. They don’t experience jetlag. Many short-sleepers have no health issues. Dr Fu believes Jane and Joanne may hold the key for how to live better: through "optimal" sleep. The future of her research might just revolutionize all of our sleeping and waking lives.
