DH always sleeping

AIBU that my DH is always snoozing. I just find him so boring now as come 8.30pm every night he’s falling asleep. I may as well be on my own.

I wouldn’t mind but he gets a full nights sleep too.

My husband is like this now. He has just been diagnosed with sleep apnea. Waiting for a second appointment for the machine.
Fingers crossed. Hoping it helps and that I will get some sleep and he can get some quality sleep.

It's not normal for him to be falling asleep all the time. It could be a number of things - sleep apnoea, underractive thyroid, low iron, other deficiencies... he really needs to see his GP and have it investigated. I think you have to speak to him and insist that he does, otherwise your relationship isn't going to last.

That wouldn't get on my nerves, OP.

@MrsMitford3 yes to both. I’ve also mentioned this to him but he’s bit interested just brushes it off. He really doesn’t care and thinks it’s quite normal to need all that sleep.

Does he snore?
Is he overweight?

Wondering if he has sleep apnea?

I’ve mentioned to him several times about seeing a GP but he’s not interested and just shrugs it off saying he’s always been the same. He was never a bad as this when I met him.

I’ve told him how I feel but he’s not interested and basically doesn’t care.

Is he maybe unwell? I'd be worried there was something underlying. Hopefully not but is it worth chatting to the GP about it?

Does he need checking by the Dr OP? Someone will be along soon with suggestions I hope 🙏🤞😔
