.... (oh it drives me bananasl

I might tie his shoelaces together, shave his eyebrows, drawer on his face in sharpie

I'll probably just carry on doing jobs and start prepping dinner....

I used to keep an arsenal of rolled up socks by my chair, and when he nodded off on the sofa ( which I didn't mind, as he started work at 5 am) but then when he started snoring (which I did mind) I use to chuck a pair of socks at his head. Luckily DH is really easy going and saw the funny side, and now he's retired no more early starts!
He actually manages to watch whole programmes and films now!

This is actually abusive people don't generally nod off for fun it's because they are tired. If your DH started throwing stuff at you while you sleeping you probably wouldn't like it.

Me and my DH both nap on days off. As long as you both get to do it theres no issue. Sleeping is not lazy or a character deficit its vital for good health.

I used to paint DH's toenails then put his socks back on....

I usually choose that time to start vacuuming or making smoothies for ice lollies with the noisy fast blender. Sometime I put a trail of Dreamies leading to his lap nuts. But I'm horrible 😉

I like finding very loud noises on YouTube and accidentally turning the volume up

Why ? Why would you do that ? Don't you like your dh's ?
If someone needs to sleep, why wouldn't you let them ? Confused

Because they use it as a way to zone out of stuff.
MIL is around... dh has a nap mid afternoon ... it is just not bloody fair sometimes.

Why is someone not allowed to have a nap on the couch 😂 sounds like some husbands live in a prison
