Split Shifts, Melatonin, and Middle Schoolers: A Real Conversation About Sleep EP 63

After years of sleepless nights, split shifts, ADHD diagnoses, and even cancer recovery, Lori Mihalich-Levin and Jason Levin reflect on how their relationship to sleep has evolved through every stage of parenting. From baby wakeups to middle school melatonin routines to perimenopause and pillow replacements, this episode explores why adult sleep deserves as much attention as our children’s—and how protecting it can transform mental health, resilience, and partnership.
