SLEEP ON IT

            Sometimes it’s a good idea just to go to bed and get some sleep. Notice the qualifier, “sometimes,” because going to bed early every night can be a way to avoid your partner altogether and that’s not helpful. If that’s the case you need to talk about it. Here are some times when sleeping on it is a good idea: 1. You and your partner are having an argument that just seems to be getting worse the longer it goes on and you both have to work in the morning. You probably aren’t going to solve anything if you’ve been arguing for awhile. When you wake up both of you should have cooled off by several degrees so you can resume the discussion as level headed adults and not screaming children.
