And the second is the distribution of disturbance along the base of the bed, which is I'm tossing and turning. And you therefore may not even remember that I woke you up.

And yeah, and you roll over, you're back into shallow sleep. And then the other person has rolled over. And now that was just at the time. And they're adjusting themselves just at the time that you fell back asleep after you were the one who caused it. And now you're awake again. So firstly, there's the non-conscious physicality of top and bottom sort of surfaces being moved around.

It's just that it's probably at a rate of about three to one ratio, men getting sleep apnea. It's about the opposite for insomnia. Far more women have insomnia than men. It's not to say that men don't have insomnia. The high neuroticism? Yeah.

Okay. Did you see on Reddit quite a while ago that famous couple sleep study they did where they ended up with the two-way solution? Yeah. What do you make of that? Because I've had a number of friends. I have one friend who I'm not going to name. I have two friends. One friend who a year ago... Actually, it was done on the show. It was George.

So George fully committed to this, having read that study on Reddit. And he had the classic... Partner's great, but fuck, the sleep is lower quality than it should be. And he was very much prioritizing it, a la Dr. Walker. And he pivoted to a two-way solution. Do you want to explain the two-way solution just for folks who... Two duvets. Two duvet covers on the top of the bed.
