We need to talk about sleep. Not your kids sleep - YOUR sleep.

Introducing This Glorious Mess the parenting podcast that's just had a major glowup.

In this very special sleep episode hosts Tegan Natoli and Annaliese Todd share how the mental load impacts their sleep, and discuss how a "sleep divorce" could be the key to a good nights rest.

Annaliese speaks to a sleep expert, leading to her full meltdown after learning about the mistakes she's been making and how we could all be doing better in the bedroom.

Plus, Sarah Marie hears from a mom craving alone time but feeling like she'll never get it.

And, we hear from the regional mum who feeds her kids dinner at 3pm (yes you read that right) all in the name of calm afternoons and a better sleep routine.
