My DH naps for 4 hours everyday (not on weekends) and it's getting on my nerves!
I tried telling him I don't like it but he does it anyway and I don't like being a nag so gave up trying to keep him up. He Work's 5am to 2.30pm mon- fri.aibu to ask him to spend time with me and his child ? Relationship is fine in all other ways just wish he would make a little effort. I wouldn't mind a couple of times a week but it's daily. He has no health problems.

I could easily get 8 hrs a night and then have a 2-3 hr nap a day, I'm someone who loves to be asleep, my health is fine, I'm not depressed.
However I know that's not ok to do with children and a husband so I don't very often. He needs to stop being selfish!

Some people need more sleep than others. You said yourself hes miserable and tired if he doesnt have tbis nap. I think you are being unreasonable. Sounds like its how much sleep he genuinely needs

He doesn't need 11 hours sleep.

I know that its going against the majority but he should get himself checked for diabetes or thyroid problems.
