I haven't worked with people who are jealous or competitive. That's a particularly deadly attitude to have when you're working on a film.

I just had a device made that fits in your mouth and juts your jaw out like you have an underbite. It locks in that position to keep your throat passage open when you sleep. This is the sacrifice I make for my wife. It was either this device or me sleeping in the other room.
