My husband is still asleep . Since 11 last night . Should I wake him ? I don't think he would want to sleep his whole day away , surely he needs a wee 😂 I'm missing him as we usually spend our sat days together . He obviously really needs it . Bless his little socks . Just a Ramble post really as I could never sleep like that and I can't believe he's still asleep 😂 xx

@SallymetLarry what do you mean ? Why is it important. If he's not around and his phone rings , should I not take it to him ?

In all seriousness op my DP used to do this, leave his phone around then I'd deliver it to him when it rang 😒 Not great when I rang him and of course, I'm not there to take his phone to him so it would go unanswered.

I'd stop doing that, he needs to get out the habit of leaving it around and he won't if he's always got mummy to fetch it for him.

The CHOCOLATE flavoured biscuit with the CHOCOLATE buttercream?? What is wrong with you! 😱😱😱

Whatever do you mean? It is truly vile!

@Megifer

When he's on . working / out he's perfectly accessible. When he's home and relaxing or in the bath or reading or cooking or playing with the dogs I honestly don't mind it's not a issue for us but I do understand what you mean xx

She hasn’t asked for advice about whether she should help her husband look for his phone.

I’d have a headache if I’d slept that long, is that the case with him? I’d struggle to sleep tonight too. If he’s ill then that’s different, but if not why not get out for a quick walk/blast of fresh air. It might clear his headache before you settle down.

behappybee · 18/01/2025 15:43

@Deathraystare I'm with her on that one . It's definitely my worst 😂😂😂

I'm not sure if you've understood my comment.

It had nothing to do with his phone.

I asked (3 times?) if these long sleeps were happening often or if this was a one-off?

If it's happening often is a red flag for his health.

Joking aside- try to be serious about it!

behappybee · 18/01/2025 15:44

Sorry no it's a one off didn't pick up on you asking three times

Sometimes it's depressing sleeping through most of a day. I've done it after a busy week at work. Ask him what time he'd like to be woken up next time this happens.

CoffeeGood · 18/01/2025 15:52

I'm glad he's up and about and I think it's lovely that you enjoy spending your day with your husband. I do too and I don't care if others percieve it as needy. I'm very NOT needy and love my own company. However, if we have a day planned together then I'd also be secretly hoping he woke up and might not have had your patience in letting the poor chap sleep. I'd have been accidently knocking something over... He's always up way before me though, so it's never actually come to that yet.

What I do need to know is, how the heck did he go 16 hours without waking up to go to the bathroom? I'm in awe and incredibly jealous! I get up 3-4 times a night and that's when I'm in bed for 8-9 hours! 😂

MarkingBad · 18/01/2025 15:58

Wow some of the answers on your thread are amazing 😆

I used to do this on occasion, I worked stupid hours and had around 4 hours a night sleep (naturally got tired and woke up in those times) then once in a while I'd give it some big Zzzs and sleep for hours.

I always got up with a headache on those days and yes a long pee too, I learned to have a glass of water at the bedside, it stopped the headaches and the very long sleeps eventually, bladder is a very effective alarm clock.

I hope you have a fab remainder of the day. I hope you spend the day in cuddly bliss and his headache goes away soon.

Starlight7080 · 18/01/2025 16:08

Sleeping that long will have given him the headache. It's no good for you.
Unless sick then obviously people sleep more .

Newbutoldfather · 18/01/2025 16:12

I have to say I would have concerns about anyone sleeping 14 hours straight.

If the headache doesn’t clear up, I would be inclined to seek medical advice.

LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaa · 18/01/2025 16:13

“why are you posting about this?
“You sound needy”
“It’s not healthy to be so dependent on your husband”
“He sounds depressed”.

Mumsnet is batshit sometimes!

This thread is 🤯. A woman posts that her husband is still asleep and she gets told he’s probably up to no good and she should check his phone, that she’s needy and dependent, that she needs to phone a mental health crisis team, that he needs to go to A&E… insane.

He is either unwell or on his phone. Nothing insane about it.

He might be unwell. I sleep a lot when I’ve got a virus. Doesn’t warrant a mental health crisis team or A&E though.

I wonder if people have been a bit sarcastic perhaps because no, you don't get s mental health crisis team for having a lazy day in bed true.

@PigInAHouse don't worry lovely I think it says more about them than me . Let not take any notice xx

Update : he's back in bed he feels dreadful . He's not sleeping just watching tv . He's dosed up and he's got one of the dogs cuddling him . I hope he feels better soon. I do wish it was a week later (don't come for me I'm not selfish 😅😂) as a book I'm waiting for is released on the 25th . I've got my kindle and the other dog tho so all good here 😁😁😁 xxxx

Wish I could bloody well sleep in but I have an old lady bladder plus I think I will get bored!

Deathraystare · 18/01/2025 16:39

@behappybee
