Why does he fall asleep?

Desiderata · 20/11/2007 22:55

Does he work nights? Is he diabetic? Or does he need a kick up the arse?

moondog · 20/11/2007 23:00

Desi

Is he fond (over fond?) of a bevvy?

rdk · 20/11/2007 23:01

he starts work at 5 am and i home around 1pm goes stright to sleep for bout 2- 3 hours then i have trouble waking him up because im going to pick up lo from school, sometimes he will get up then other days he falls back to sleep. but then i when he is finally up he will have a nap before bed time too

Sounds like a kick up the arse is in order.
Is he fat?

rdk · 20/11/2007 23:03

rdk · 20/11/2007 23:06

hes not diabetic, and he never really drinks, im sick of telling to get up but because of the time i might as well leave him where he is and have our bed all to my self tonight

OP posts:
rdk · 20/11/2007 23:06

he would fall asleep on a washing line honestly

OP posts:
rdk · 20/11/2007 23:07

kick up the arse,,,,, im fed up with him ive even poured water over him before 2day

OP posts:
moondog · 20/11/2007 23:10

I would leave him where he is.
When my dh does this (which is not often) I leave him.I tell him I find it an exceedingly unattractive and unsexy thing to do.

lomond · 20/11/2007 23:12

Leave him there and enjoy the empty bed. He will probably wake up uncomfortable in the middle of the night.

rdk · 20/11/2007 23:19

its getting worst as the days go on i gonna tell him to sort his self out or move out cause im really fed up of doing everything like i said before its like being a single parent and doing everything myself,cant remember the last time he did do anything in the house, god knows what its gonna be like trying to wake him up in the night for night feds when this little ones born, its a nightmare now when my dd wakes up wanting her dad in the night i end up getting up myself just for a quick fix.sorry rant over just p*ed off

moondog · 20/11/2007 23:19

I'm not surprised frankly.

TellusMater · 20/11/2007 23:23

A nap before bedtime? What's that all about?

rdk · 20/11/2007 23:24

hes asleep on the egde of dd bed he put her tele on for her at her bedtime and hes not moved since, he would sleep for a full night outside and wont be uncomfortable

OP posts:
rdk · 20/11/2007 23:25

tellusmater- he falls asleep at least every 1-3 hours

OP posts:
LuckySalem · 20/11/2007 23:26

RDK - I feel for you. My DP works nights (10-7) and cos of the times both of us sleep we hardly see each other. Tell him to sort it out and go from there.

rdk · 20/11/2007 23:26

i keep telling him to go to see gp about this but hes saying theres nothing wrong with being tried

OP posts:
rdk · 20/11/2007 23:29

to be honest it doesnt matter what i say he still falls asleep, im wondering whether hes got a sleeping disorder

OP posts:
PurpleOne · 21/11/2007 00:37

does he have narcolepsy?

my exh did this all thru our 5 yr marriage. he worked nights, asleep all day and me being a pseudo single mum with 2 DDs under three.
i went to work at half three, he was in the bath. as soon as i got home, he went to work.

silly bugger nearly fell asleep in the bath once and nearly drowned hisself
i know how frustrating that really is.

slip him some pro plus in his coffee x x

susiecutiemincepies · 21/11/2007 00:48

SOunds like he does have a sleeping disorder. that or depression. Depression can cause you to sleep like this., My DH did, alot, last year when he was very depressed, He'd come home from work, sleep all evening, then get up adn sleep most of night. He'd sleep 3-4 times in the day at the weekend. REALLY frustrating.

he's much much better now. He gets up very early for work, and back late. He stays in hotel in week due to working long way away. Drives a HELL of al ot every week, so i'd understand him being tired now, but he's not nearly as bad.

maybe you need to keep suggesting he needs to go to GP. Also tell him HOW much its affecting you. He needs to know. Also, if you talk about it maybe being a genuine problem.. he might think about it.
good luck.

rdk · 21/11/2007 11:45

pro plus he used to take them that a good i idea im going try putting some in a brew for him, but knowing him he`ll say what up with u making me a brew. deep down i will be

I think he needs to see GP. That sleeping sounds excessive.

Not surprised you're p*ssed off!
