Over the past 12-18 months since he has started working nights the responsibility of waking DP for work has fallen to me, before anybody suggests setting alarms he simply doesn't wake up to them. We've tried again and again and again. He tunes them out, no matter what the volume or tune is.
He's not getting enough sleep because he wants to do other things when he gets home instead of going to bed, which I can understand, but by the time he does retire to sleep he only gets 4-6 hours sleep. He won't stop doing that, I've already told him to.
When I go to wake him as requested I'm sat at the edge of the bed for 10-15-20 minutes repeatedly tapping him and saying his name upwards of 20 times, it's the most repetitive thing and is driving me mental.
Today was more of the same, I made his dinner got him up (it took forever and alot of patience that I don't have) he has his dinner then falls asleep on the sofa. I left him for thirty minutes then began the tedious process of trying to wake him again, he mutters and goes back to sleep. Acknowledges me then ignores and closes his eyes again.
Cue more slapping him on the arm and raising my voice to call his name. Rinse and repeat for another twenty minutes.
Nothing.
He's an hour and fifteen minutes late for work. I've had enough, am irritated and at the end of my damn tether.
AIBU to just bloody leave him there and let him deal with the repercussions, even though him losing his job would impact me and the DC.
There's no way on this earth he'd have his job if it weren't for me acting as his mother/personal alarm
