Another sleepless night

[GoodniteMoon]

Here I am awake, from around midnight after going to bed around 10 pm or so, because DH won't STFU making stupid noises like humming in his sleep.

So glad he can sleep. I have a meeting at 9 am but I've cancelled it because I won't be able to drive on such low sleep and there's no chance of me going back to bed.

I can't smother him with a pillow, so up with coffee, maybe some journaling and whatever else can be done in this unsociable hour.

The word 'hate' is springing to mind for DH, so I'm fixated on how to rectify that, and happy to keep anyone else company who might be awake.

Sorry no one was up Op. what are the realistic options for you sleeping elsewhere - even a blow up bed would be better than this.

If at all possible you need to either get used to wearing earplugs at night or see if you can sleep in another bed.
I am a great advocate for separate bedrooms in these circumstances!
May I ask how old you are? I think there's a point (around menopause) where sleeping with another person can drive you mad.

I'm a light sleeper and we just have 2 bedrooms set up so I can go into our second bedroom if dh is disrupting me. He gets restless legs and has allergies so he's either kicking about or sneezing. It really helps. Sleep is too important to not radically try and fix.

Solidarity, I was up then too but I don't dare go on my phone else I'd never get back to sleep.

Totally hear you on the DH annoyance, I don't drink but DH will have at least one a night so I wake up to him sweaty, snoring and breathing hot boozy air at me. Then I'm completely done for.

I have to go into the officer tomorrow and I'm dreading it, it's a 1.5 hour public transport commute each way. My basis health things flare up with less sleep so am already in a lot of pain and will be much worse from crappy office chairs. Solidarity

Earplugs. 💐

Solution: HE gets out of the shared bedroom and lets you sleep. I always say this on DH snoring threads. HE is making the antisocial noise and disturbing you, he is the problem, he gets out!!

Sleep deprivation is awful. It’s literally used as a torture method. The one who is inflicting it is the problem and it’s on them to solve. Off he goes to the spare room/ kids room/ sofa/ floor in another room. And he can make a dr appointment to address it.
