I get so annoyed that he won't just come to bed when he is clearly tired and falling asleep on the couch... but then I just give up and figure that at least one of us should get some real sleep in a bed. He eventually comes to bed, but usually way later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch/page/2#post-1921764 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:59:49 +0000 bakinbrownies 1921764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eeekks...Yea it's the norm around these parts.<br /> I'd say he falls asleep on the couch a good 4/7 nights of the week. We have very different work schedules - i'm a 9-5'r, whereas he's in real estate and will usually work until midnight most nights. He'd prefer that, then to wake up earlier in the morning (it drives me mental). </p> <p>I'm starting to think, it also has something to do with the CPAP machine he has to wear at night, and that he would rather sleep on the couch, than be strapped to that :( Might require a convo at some point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch/page/2#post-1917725 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 14:09:34 +0000 Adira 1917725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never on the couch. When we had a guest room, one of us (usually him) would sleep in the guest room if one of us was sick. Now we don't have a guest room, so we don't even do that.</p> <p>But I slept on the couch just last week. If I have trouble sleeping, I'll move to the couch - it's so ridiculously comfortable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch/page/2#post-1917719 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 14:06:08 +0000 charmed 1917719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes he'll fall asleep on the couch watching TV, but he usually wakes up and comes to bed sometime during the night.<br /> I hate it when I wake up in the middle of the night and he's not in bed! (but I only have to listen for his snoring to know he's ok, just in a different part of the house :silly: ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch/page/2#post-1917280 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 11:00:38 +0000 Mommy Finger 1917280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH sleeps in the guest room somewhat frequently. Especially now that I'm pregnant again. He's been snoring a lot lately and even with a sound machine, I still wake up. So he'll leave to go to the guest room. More so b/c he's had enough of me telling him to roll over. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch/page/2#post-1914409 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 09:45:03 +0000 bushelandapeck 1914409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes he falls asleep there when watching tv but he ends up coming to bed eventually. I can't think of a time when either of us chose to sleep on the couch or in the guest room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch/page/2#post-1914381 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 09:37:59 +0000 .twist. 1914381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the summer he does often. We don't have A/C and he runs very hot, so he will go downstairs and sleep on the leather to cool off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch/page/2#post-1914371 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 09:34:13 +0000 namaste 1914371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never unless we've both taken a nap in the living room. We only sleep apart when we're travelling individually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch/page/2#post-1914333 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 09:23:08 +0000 MapleMoose 1914333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. Unless you count falling asleep with LO for a nap lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch/page/2#post-1914293 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 09:06:41 +0000 Mrs.KMM 1914293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. Neither of us ever sleep in the guest room either. We have a King sized bed. There is plenty of space for us to both sleep, even if one of us is sick or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch#post-1914284 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 09:04:28 +0000 alohaorchid 1914284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I honestly can't remember? Probably around 2.5 years ago when he had a bad toothache that kept him up all night. I slept on the couch a couple of nights last winter because I was horribly sick and for some reason I couldn't fall asleep in bed.</p> <p>We have a guest room but neither one of us has ever slept in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch#post-1914283 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 09:04:08 +0000 autumnlove 1914283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think last month when his sleep was messed up after working a week of overnight shifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch#post-1914280 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 09:03:05 +0000 loki 1914280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh has never slept on the couch. But for the last month or two I've had a HORRIBLE cough and just a terrible time sleeping in general... I sleep much better in the guest room so if I can't sleep in our bed, I'll often migrate there. We call it the nap room because that's where I nap too. For some reason, that bed is SO much more comfortable to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch#post-1914274 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 08:58:08 +0000 snowjewelz 1914274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never? I wouldn't want either of us to sleep on the couch. If anything, I think I'd let him have the king bed and I'd sleep in our guestroom in my old twin bed since I'm small; I can't imagine DH trying to sleep in the twin bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch#post-1914272 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 08:56:40 +0000 LuLu Mom 1914272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well it's allergy season for me, so he ends up on the couch due to my snoring about 2x a week. And he has some sleep issues anyways so he finds that he sleeps better on the couch at time. Doesn't bother me, I dont' think it affects our relationship, if anything improves it because he's not tossing and turning and gets a good night sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch#post-1914220 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 08:25:39 +0000 looch 1914220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never, couches are not for sleeping! We have a guest room, though, and we're fine sleeping apart when needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch#post-1914165 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 07:37:02 +0000 mrs. wagon 1914165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ajsmommy: this happens here too!! Whenever Wagon Sr. has studying or something to do, he falls asleep on the couch with all the lights on, etc. When I wake up and he's not there it drives me insane. </p> <p>Am I the only one surprised to not see any stories about fights?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch#post-1914116 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 06:27:40 +0000 Ajsmommy 1914116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sooooo not the norm here I guess... my DH falls asleep on the couch almost EVERY night. I go to bed early, before he does and he is TERRIBLE and coming to bed when he is tired. Even if he's falling asleep before I go to bed I'll say ok let's go to bed and he'll say, no I'm still watching tv... Yeah right buddy, you were just cutting logs over there and your eyes are clearly closed! I've even asked him what just happened then? if you're watching tv what just happened.... </p> <p>Anyway, apparently he's always been this way. His mom always talks about how stubborn he was about going to bed. Not falling asleep, just going to bed. I find it so odd b/c as soon as I'm tired I head to my nice comfy bed! But not him. </p> <p>So he usually falls asleep on the couch and then will come upstairs at some random time during the night, but not every night. Some nights he ends up sleeping on the couch until DD and I wake up</p> <p>smh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch#post-1914094 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 06:08:48 +0000 Ree723 1914094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time we've ever slept apart (whilst residing in the same house of course) was just a couple of weeks ago when our DD2 was having a horrific night and DH had to get a good night's sleep for an important day at work the next day. We can't wait to get into our new house and get her out of our room, much as we love her of course, because we hated sleeping apart! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch#post-1914091 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 06:06:05 +0000 78h2o 1914091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sleep in the guest room a lot because my husband has all kinds of sleep issues. He talks/yells in his sleep, wakes up and wants to watch tv until he can go back to sleep, etc. I'm a light sleeper and need quiet/darkness, so I go to the other room. It sucks but it is what it is. I try to at least sleep with him on the weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch#post-1914080 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 05:44:20 +0000 mrs scrapbook 1914080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always sleep in the same bed, except when we stay at my parents' vacation home. "Our" room is also the guest room so it has two twin beds - we sleep in different beds in the same room like its a 1950s sitcom. </p> <p>But I will wake up and yell out for DH (or just outright scream) a few times in the middle of the night. He usually has to come sleep in the same bed with me so I'll stop screaming. I've never been a very good sleeper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch#post-1914046 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 02:21:25 +0000 Snowdrop 1914046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Erm every time he has the good idea of putting Rocky on after a night out! He never makes it past the opening credits and I can't be bothered waking him up to come to bed anymore haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch#post-1914030 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 00:47:13 +0000 lamariniere 1914030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Over the summer, one night he was barfy sick and slept on the couch. I was glad because I get anxious when he's sick and every time he moves or makes noise I bolt awake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch#post-1913904 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 22:15:22 +0000 Synchronicity 1913904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think he ever has! I did a few months ago when my cough was so bad that I couldn't even stay on the same floor as him (otherwise I would have slept in the guest bed)... It was obnoxious. I slept on the couch downstairs for a few nights, even though he really didn't want me to bother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch#post-1913900 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 22:11:50 +0000 jhd 1913900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has never slept on the couch. I do very occasionally if I am having trouble sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch#post-1913841 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 21:21:35 +0000 Mamasig 1913841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time when I go to bed before him and he falls asleep watching tv. He works nights every three weeks so I'm used to sleeping without him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch#post-1913809 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 21:05:27 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1913809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure never. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch#post-1913794 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 20:57:04 +0000 blackbird 1913794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh slept in the guest room last winter when he was suuuuper sick with strep (and contagious) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch#post-1913755 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 20:41:41 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1913755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH can't sleep in bed when I'm not there so 3 nights out of the week he is in the couch. Don't know why, just him I guess. I have no problem sleeping in bed during the day :) on nights I'm not working, he almost always sleeps with me unless for some reason he can't sleep, goes out to watch TV and then falls asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-was-the-last-time-your-so-slept-on-the-couch#post-1913749 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 20:34:39 +0000 winniebee 1913749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I have pregnancy insomnia I go to the guest bedroom to sleep. So probably last week I did that. </p>
