Wished I'd seen this blog years ago. Sleep intervention comes with nothing to sooth the soul or work through self esteem issues, including sex and intimacy. Large contrast to surgical interventions that can impact on sex and intimacy ... which extend to partner and spouse information and advice. Fed up with Dr retorts about benefits of sleep intervention as if intimacy and happiness hadn't already taken a battering before diagnosis. The person with the mask needs to be acknowledged, and supported in the grief of perceptions of lost 'sleeping beauty' and other pillow practicalities. A lot of work is needed here in my opinion. And it just might lift engagement rates with sleep intervention.
