Hi everyone...I am writing about my husband. I am not sure if he has a sleeping disorder or what is wrong with him. We have lived together for almost 4 years and his sleep patterns are driving me crazy. First of all he usually goes to work at 6 am so when he comes home at 4 pm he is usually always tired, so he goes for a nap which most of the time means getting up again at 9-10 pm. Then when I go to bed around 11 or 12 he is not tired. He tosses and turns, runs up and down the stairs getting snacks, gets up and plays video games on the computer and he blares the TV in our bedroom all night. It wakes me up and I ask him to turn it down and he does but it has already woke me up and I have a hard time getting back to sleep. I have asked him to shut the TV off at night but he says he can't sleep without it, I guess the fact that I can't sleep with it on doesn't matter. This is really beginning to take a tole on our marriage and I don't know what to do, short of seperate bedrooms and I really do not want to have to do this. Please help!!
PS-I have asked him to go to a doctor and he says there is nothing wrong he has been like this all his life..I find that hard to believe.

GO TO YOUR DOCTOR AND ASK FOR SOME AMBIEN. TELL YOUR DOC THAT YOU CANT SLEEP BECAUSE YOUR HUSBAND TOSSES AND TURNS ALL NIGHT AND KEEPS YOU AWAKE. SOMETIMES YOU CANT FIX OTHER PEOPLES PROBLEMS BY MAKING HIM DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT, SO INSTEAD GET SOME AMBIEN AND YOU SLEEP THROUGH THE WHOLE NIGHT. SPIKE HIS DRINK SO HE WILL SLEEP TOO. hehe hehe.

When he goes for his nap, put the TV on loud, keep him awake and see how he likes it.
Alternatively, you go to bed at 4pm along side him and toss and turn.
My husband is a chronic snorer so I go to bed around 10pm as he stays up till midnight, by then I am asleep but I do wake up in the early hours and his snoring drives me mad some nights but after 29 years of it, I am kind of used to it :)
