Not sure how to take this. Looking too much into it?

For the past few months more so than not, my dp seems to be falling asleep earlier or in the daytime (weekends) it's almost like he just doesn't enjoy spending time with me but it's just so hard to tell because I have high anxiety so I'm a worrier anyway.

He does start work very early because he has to do 10 hours a day so he starts about 5.30am and finishes for 3.30/4pm. I understand these are long hours but hes not even spending time.with me except for sitting with me and watching the TV which doesn't last long as then he falls asleep.
Also, on the weekend he seems to want to get house jobs done. Again I shouldn't complain but it's like hes looking for things to do ! He literally knocked a wall down a few weeks ago because hes decided he wants an open staircase.
Now today hea decided to dig up the garden for a patio area. It's just upsetting because I'll suggest we go for a walk with the DC but hell moan and say theres stuff to do and that hes tired. He did end up going today but like he doesn't enjoy it and who wants to go out as a family when you have someone acting like it's a chore??

I find it all really strange. Hes fallen asleep on the couch again! I feel like it's just me and the DC. We dont really have friends we see or anything so I suppose it can be quite lonely/uneventful

Is this normal or am.i overreacting?

Does he snore very loudly? If so, encourage him to see his GP regarding sleep apnoea. My ex had it and he used to just randomly fall asleep while we were watching a film or something.

Risk factors:
Smoking
African heritage
Neck size above 16ins (from memory)
High blood pressure
Drinking large amounts of alcohol

If none of that applies, I think a serious talk is in order as he seems to be checking out of family life.

@furiousvex

Omg he does snore loudly! I usually hear him.snore when hes fallen asleep on sofa which is why I know hes deeply asleep and not just resting. I can say 8/10 times if heard him snore loudly.

I will mention this and see what he says. Just something in the back of my mind thinks hes checking out

Has small neck
But does drink every night I'd say average 2-3 vodka and mixers

That's all from the list
