DH always sleeping

AIBU that my DH is always snoozing. I just find him so boring now as come 8.30pm every night he’s falling asleep. I may as well be on my own.

I wouldn’t mind but he gets a full nights sleep too.

I’m up early for work so that’s when I go to bed

This.
What time he gets up in the morning?

I would be brutal and ask, if he refuses to see GP, if his life insurance is up to date and what are his funeral wishes.
If he is planning on dying young, then you need enough funds to help pay bills, raise children etc.
He will probably bluster about you not caring, but why should you if he doesn’t care enough to see a doctor?

My DH does a lot of day naps. We have a nearly 4 yo and a 3 month old, (who sleeps throughout the night by the way). He works 12 hour shifts in care, along with completing a degree to retrain to be a Nurse, so I can appreciate why he gets tired.

Doesn't help when you're left looking after both of the kids whilst on maternity leave and you'd like your partner to be there to help on days when he's off and both of you are at home, but he keeps disappearing for naps, when you're tired too.

Maybe your DH needs to charge his sleeping habits, have more lighting in the house, (that keeps he awake,) or even soak to his GP?

I love a nap and will do when i can.

I am your DH and have a medical condition for needing the sleep.

I would not be staying up just to keep someone company that can't be on their own.

But at least you know about it. This is my whole point if you’ve read all my comments 🙄

My exh was like this. It was annoying because we had very small children at the time who needed looking after!

I'd just start going out. Foster your own evening entertainment. Meet a friend, go to the cinema, go for walks, join a pub quiz team or a class.
