So, fwiw, I bumped into something the other day that basically describes what R & I did w/S. It's not really what I would call "sleep training" at all, but rather was a way of helping him figure out how to sleep better/longer on his own:
R's been studying/practicing the counseling philosophy behind this for a couple decades actually (as have I for the past ~8-9 years since we've been married), so we adapted our own path based on that thinking & our experience that it seems to work (ie, getting emotions out of your system *with supportive attention from an engaged listener*, rather than suppressing them & letting them build up).

Just putting it out there...
