This episode I sat down with my boyfriend, Dan, who has been struggling with insomnia for over ten years. He talks about how isolating it can feel, not only when you're lying awake at night desperately trying to get back to sleep, but when you try to carry on with normal life as if it never happened, or because you feel like no one understands.

Talking about our mental health is a really important part of our relationship and always has been. It can be difficult to show your partner the unhealed parts of you, but as long as you communicate openly, the struggle becomes a little bit easier.
