Oh bless him but I can't hep but think my husband feels jealous when I'm asleep and I feel sleep deprived!
He has a high pressure job, and I am at home with our son (I do some part-time work but he is the "bread winner"). He has always been of the mind "sleep is for lazy people" and he is like his mum, as long as they have a good solid six hours sleep they don't need more. But I come from a family that like 12 hours. This may sound like a small thing, but I'm often up in the night with our child too.
My husband's alarm goes off at 6am (admittedly he has to commute) but it goes off about 6-7 times because he snoozes it each time (different genetics here, I'm wide awake (as is our son with the first alarm). Then my husband doesn't like to go to bed early and he gets cross (I really don't know why) when I do. Last night he checked his meals at 11pm. He then typed a reply to his boss (lying on the bed) and I couldn't sleep because the bed was shaking with his dramatic typing. I asked why he had to do it so late. He then when into a rant about how it wasn't my problem and he was furious with me this morning as I don't have to work so hard as him.
I just don't understand why his boss needed a reply so late and my husband would never think to not wake me up. He even wakes me up when he can't sleep at night.
Sorry to moan. he works really hard and we have lots of privileges because of the sacrifices he makes at work. But it feels like he is almost jealous when I am asleep - which seems bizarre.
The problem is I'm finding it hard to stay awake during the day. I'm fine in the morning (although very grumpy) but by the afternoon I am a zombie.
Feeling a bit fed up but this is becoming a real issue and it makes my husband cross to talk about it he gets sarcastic and says "don't blame me you can go to bed now if you want". Grrr help!
