AIBU to be annoyed by DH laughing in bed every night?

[Greyblankie]

Almost every night when we’re in bed and dropping off to sleep - DH will suddenly burst out laughing. He’ll rarely tell me what he’s laughing at so now I just tell him to pack it in and go to sleep … this usually results in about 20 minutes of the bed shaking while he’s stifling laughter. Sometimes he’s absolutely creased up.

Last night he did it just as I was nodding off abs it scared the shit out of me so I shouted at him to pack it in. This morning morning I told him it’s getting seriously fucking annoying and he either tells me what he’s laughing at or he sleeps in the spare room. He says he’s at work stressed all day so when he gets in bed and starts to unwind random thoughts pop into his head and makes him laugh. He reckons he genuinely tries not to laugh but the more he tries the worse it gets.

Is this bullshit or what?? Does his explanation make any sense to anyone here? Thing is it’s not a fake laugh, he’s genuinely creased up

Well op has updated to say she is the one doing the laughing.

Op, you need to take yourself off to the spare room for the time being to let your dh get some proper sleep and maybe revisit GP since this is having a negative impact on you and you can't explain a cause

Its op doing this to her husband...she has updated the thread to say its a reverse

Sounds like a mental breakdown.

That's so good. I would love that.
I honestly would love hearing happy laughter.

Yes it can be a form of a euphoria aura, others can be impending doom etc

He needs to see someone about it. It's a strange habit to develop. If he was open about what was making him laugh, fair enough - unless it was something that most people would find hurtful or offensive. Seems weird that he will not explain

I've done it before. I laugh in my sleep too. I also find it harder not to laugh if I try and suppress it
