Im 7 months pregnant and have a young child at home, my OH works the night shift but on his nights off he plays on the xbox in the living room until early the next morning, around 4am. Our flat is extremely small and the living room is next to the bedroom so i can hear him tapping away and chatting on his headset all night and as a result I can't switch off and get to sleep. For some reason I can't relax and drift off knowing he's up all night and pottering around in the next room, it puts me on edge as I know DS will be awake before long and ill have had inadequate or no sleep.
To make matters worse we were supposed to be having a rare family day out today which we never do, and that's now gone to shit because I've been kept up all night.
I've just gone out there in a foul mood and bitten his head off about it, again. I asked whether he's unable to go to sleep at a normal hour because of his sleeping pattern and he said no, he easily can but he prefers to play his games.
I've been tossing and turning in bed for the best part of four hours and have almost resigned myself to just getting up and starting the day with no sleep. I'm tense, stressed, hormonal and over tired.
He looked like a scorned puppy when I went out there and gave him what for. I just can't take this crap anymore. I need my sleep when he's off work.
AIBU
