To make DH sleep on the sofa

[igsisgreenngold]

Am just so tired and fed up. DH needs to leave the house at eight to get to work. He can dress quickly and often gets up at ten to eight. He sets his alarm for five past seven every day, and then snoozes while it goes off every four minutes until he finally gets up. I am wide awake from the first time it goes off. We have argued over and over about this. He has made a change - he used to set it for ten to seven.
I am on ML with baby who is bf and wakes between two and five times a night. I do all the wakenings. I can't lie in after he goes to work as I have Ds to get up and do school run with. Every minute of sleep is precious to me, and I'm so angry I "waste" 40 mins of sleep each morning.
AIBU to ask him to sleep on the sofa till he changes this habit, or am I being petty?

Alternatively sleep with baby and set a few alarms and hide them in different places around the room.

YANBU OP. DH used to do this, then we agreed a "2 snoozes max" rule and he doesn't any more.

I see you now have charge of the alarm. I suggest you press snooze once, then turn it off fully and go back to sleep. If he then goes back to sleep that's his problem - after he's been late for work a couple of times he'll start to get up by himself. If he actually gets up after the one snooze, your problem is solved...

Oh and IMO this would be annoying and unreasonable of the OP's DH even if the OP wasn't getting up with a baby. Everyone needs sleep not just those with babies.

I think the 90 minute snooze is for naps.

YANBU at all, how about when the baby wakes in the night get up turn the bedroom
Light on, bang around making abit of noise and fuss while you feed the baby, do that for a week and say well let's compromise, sort your alarm out and I'll be more considerate with mid night feeds

Hitting the snooze button is incredibly annoying. I drift into half sleep half tense mode waiting for it to go off again. I just don't get it, just get up the first time!! YADDDDNBU.

Wonga if I did that he'd be so suspicious he would probably think I was having an affair!
I love how similar some advice on here is to that on the thread about getting your kids up in time for school, eg let him be late a few times and he'll get the message. Sending him to work in his pyjamas would be interesting!

I have seen a vibrating alarm clock on amazon (you put it under your pillow) - I wonder could that be the answer for perpetual snoozers?
