If his sleep is not quality during the night maybe that's why he's so tired? DH always loves napping too while I don't... I don't really find it a problem, but then again we only need to take care of a dog at home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sometimes-dhs-sleep-habits-really-annoy-me#post-1430928 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 10:56:06 +0000 Alivoo01 1430928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea.... My hubby gets uninterrupted sleep and naps also. It pisses me off since i get baby duty 24/7 and I'm lucky if DS lets me sleep more than 2 hours of solid shut eye. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sometimes-dhs-sleep-habits-really-annoy-me#post-1430662 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 09:39:12 +0000 NovBaby1112 1430662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omg yes, I could have written this. I get so annoyed my DH wants to nap all the time on weekends...I swear he sleeps more than our 15 month old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sometimes-dhs-sleep-habits-really-annoy-me#post-1430448 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 07:22:10 +0000 blackbird 1430448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh man we are both not nappers. thank goodness, i guess! </p> <p>@sweetiepie, oh man that would annoy me so much! Dh uses his cpap unless he is sick (then he's just breathing in a cesspool of germs) and it does help but it takes awhile for it to really help </p> <p>@owlteach, it really is and I'm sorry your family has gone through that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sometimes-dhs-sleep-habits-really-annoy-me#post-1430382 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 01:55:31 +0000 erwoo 1430382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH LOVES to nap. He used to nap even before we had kids. I get it. Work is so exhausting during the week for him. But sometimes I get annoyed too, especially when I don't nap either and am always doing something while he does. Anyway, I've stopped letting it bother me unless he is putting something off he agreed to do and is napping instead. He does his fair share of kid duty when I ask him to... most times. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sometimes-dhs-sleep-habits-really-annoy-me#post-1430381 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 01:45:11 +0000 Kimberlybee 1430381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH sleeps and naps the moment his head touches a pillow. He can sleep through DD crying sometimes, I have no idea why it's so hard for me to sleep right away. I can manage on 4-5 hours sleep daily but eventually need one good day to catch up on my sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sometimes-dhs-sleep-habits-really-annoy-me#post-1430371 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 01:18:19 +0000 luckypenny 1430371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: agreed! I can only nap "on accident" but DH can say "I'm goin to nap" and is asleep in 2 mins. </p> <p>I'd be SUPER mad if DH did this. It's one thing if you think there's something medical going on, and another if he's just being lazy. Maybe you could express how tired you are and get a nap too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sometimes-dhs-sleep-habits-really-annoy-me#post-1430367 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 01:10:34 +0000 googly-eyes 1430367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get annoyed with my husband's sleep habits too. The way to get him out of bed is to wake him up and kick him out of bed when lo gets up but I barely ever do it. And I'M the one that possibly has apnea, woohoo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sometimes-dhs-sleep-habits-really-annoy-me#post-1430354 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 00:42:58 +0000 Anagram 1430354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am the one in my marriage that could sleep 12 hours a day if I didn't have LO. My husband is an early riser who never naps. </p> <p>But now that I have LO I never get to nap (or hell, even sleep well at night), but at least my husband is also up. It would infuriate me if he were napping when I was equally exhausted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sometimes-dhs-sleep-habits-really-annoy-me#post-1430315 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 23:34:00 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1430315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I seriously think men are genetically better nappers!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sometimes-dhs-sleep-habits-really-annoy-me#post-1430268 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 22:40:38 +0000 owlteach 1430268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Please, please, please get your hubby checked out for sleep apnea! My dad had sleep apnea and the dr. told him that it would take years off his life because your heart isn't getting the oxygen it needs. He didn't do a good job of using his c pap machine and sure enough, my dad passed away at 58 from a massive heart attack despite not having high blood pressure or cholesterol. He walked for an hour each day and was pretty healthy, not a smoker. I don't mean to scare people, but it is serious business!</p> <p>OP, I can't imagine how frustrating this is and I'm sorry that you are going through this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sometimes-dhs-sleep-habits-really-annoy-me#post-1430227 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 22:10:05 +0000 Smurfette 1430227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won't even get started on how much my DH annoys me with his naps and always complaining he is tired. He would lay in bed till noon every day if he could. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sometimes-dhs-sleep-habits-really-annoy-me#post-1430140 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 21:17:31 +0000 blackbird 1430140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He could definitely have something wrong. If he sleeps a ton and is still super tired, I would encourage him to see someone </p> <p>My DH has apnea so he can sleep and never really be rested </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sometimes-dhs-sleep-habits-really-annoy-me#post-1429890 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 19:22:57 +0000 rachiecakes 1429890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh my DH is like this. He works odd hours, like 3pm to past midnight between two jobs.<br /> He sometimes gets to bed late and I know how hard it can be to unwind but staying up reading hockey blogs and eating junk then complaining how tired you are the next day will do you no good.<br /> And he can nap later in the day if/when DS naps (if you encourage a nap, DS usually will nap).<br /> I have to be out of the house by 7:30am every day regardless of whether DS had a good night sleep or not. Since DH works so late I've never expected him to help with any MOTN waking ever.</p> <p>Oh and DH occasionally has night terrors, yelling, hitting, teeth-grinding night terrors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sometimes-dhs-sleep-habits-really-annoy-me#post-1429854 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 18:42:33 +0000 Sapphiresun 1429854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We fight a lot about DH's sleep schedule too. He likes to sleep until at least 11, if not noon-1pm on his days off. And will go to bed at 9pm. Our six month old wakes up every hour and a half (we're working on it) and I do all night wakings. So I find it really unfair that I usually get 4 one hour naps at night, while he's sleeping up to 16 hours straight. </p> <p>However, he actually does have a thyroid disorder, so we have to manage that as best we can, and it's one of those things that it's really easy for him to claim, and hard for me to deny that his actual illness might be the problem, even if I sometimes think he's just taking advantage.</p> <p>But if you think he's more tired than he should be underactive thyroid might be something to look into?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sometimes-dhs-sleep-habits-really-annoy-me#post-1429826 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 18:02:28 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1429826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe he's pregnant? It's the reason I can't seem to get enough sleep ;) JK of course!</p> <p>Have you talked to him about it? I've found its always best to talk about things like this instead of silently stewing about them. Maybe work out a schedule where you can get a nap in too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sometimes-dhs-sleep-habits-really-annoy-me#post-1429823 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 17:59:28 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1429823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I know! My husband can get 12 hours of sleep one night &amp; STILL take an hour nap later in the day....it's caused a few arguments over the years </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sometimes-dhs-sleep-habits-really-annoy-me#post-1429806 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 17:39:54 +0000 Cchoi4 1429806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH works a stressful job during the week. He is usually out of the house by 6:45am and comes back home around 5:30-6pm. He only works 15 min away from our home so he really is working most of that time.</p> <p>I can understand that he is exhausted on weeknights. We have a toddler and a baby so this time in our lives, I understand, is even more challenging.</p> <p>But on the weekends, DH's naps kind of annoy me. I feel awful for writing it and thinking it but I NEVER take naps. I'm almost always ON whether it be getting up at 5:30am to nurse the baby, getting up at 7 with toddler, changing, feeding, laundry, fixing someone's lunch or dinner, grocery shopping, etc....I almost never watch TV either.</p> <p>DH is napping right now while I just put baby to nap in his crib and am about to run out to pick up 3 yr old from preschool.</p> <p>I think he has sleep apnea bc how can he be sooooooooooooo tired all the time when he gets more sleep than me?</p> <p>just venting. :( </p>
