My Pupster snores like a cartoon bear so I started wearing earplugs. She says I snore too but she can fall asleep at the drop of a hatand I don’t wake her up. My mind races as I recal the day and stuff that comes to mind from 30 years ago. I never set an alarm. If I do I wake up an hour before it goes off. I just seem to wake up when I have to and I’m uncomfortable just laying there…

Doug has no trouble going to sleep. He is gracious enough to offer that to me for a sleep aid.

About the orgasm, I thought Doug didn’t have any trouble going to sleep! :)

Thanks for the good feedback. Doug’s a big fan of the orgasm as a sleep aid. Of course, he recommends that for everything from an ingrown toenail to laryngitis.

Women’s bathroom habits reminds me of being admonished about leaving the seat up. Apparently if women “sleep pee” and the seat is up they “take a bath”.

My wife gets up in the middle of the night sometimes, also. But her theory is she doesn’t turn on the light or it will wake her up. I guess she is “sleep peeing”.

I used to be hard to get up. But now I can get up two or three times a night.

I agree with the orgasm idea. It always works for me.

I know what you mean my husband could sleep through a train wreck and still not “hop out of bed” in the morning.

Replace all your clocks with new ones sans snooze buttons.

I have to be the bad ass at my house. I hate it, but I’m good at it.

I’m the early bird, he’s the night owl for 34 years now. Don’t try to change each other. It doesn’t work. Just enjoy your “me” time.

Stay away from Milk of Amnesia unless you want the big sleep.

No OTC remedy has worked for me. I’m leery of anything stronger-don’t want to wind up like MJ.

My wife and I have slept in separate rooms for the last 10 years. Snoring was a big problem for us. We get together, but when all is done, we go to our own rooms.

I can’t remember the last night I slept through the night. If seems like forever. I look and feel tired everyday. I’m hoping that one day these fucking hot flashes will stop. Maybe then I’ll be able to sleep through the night again.

Having an orgasm usually works for me.
