LOL nah he doesn't, in fact he usually comes to bed a lot later than me... but FIL always used to - holding a cup of coffee and watching the news. And then stating that he didn't need a lot of sleep, could only sleep 5hrs each night! Um, something doesn't add up lol -------------  |

Yep, mine too. He sleeps on the couch more often than in our bed, atm there's cricket on most night so he stays up for that. In the weekends it's the league or the rugby. I often leave a pillow and duvet out for him so if he does fall asleep he's comfy and warm.
Don't tell him but it actually doesn't bother me, I kind of like having the bed to myself. -------------

Not anymore, but for the first 7 years of our relationship he did. He has sleep apnoea so he used to fall asleep anywhere and everywhere but now he has a CPAP machine when he sleeps and it's forced him into better sleep habits as well so he very rarely falls asleep on the couch these days. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Willie was a sitter for sleep apnoea - overweight, over 40, high BP and cholesterol and worked funny hours (he starts at 4am). But meds have got his BP/cholesterol under control and the CPAP has made a huge difference to his sleep, he has actually managed to lose 20kg just coz he's healthier overall. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Yes and it drives me mad  I don't mind if he does it when I'm still up but he says he is going to stay up to watch sport on telly (cricket at the moment) and I know that literally 5 mins after I go to bed he will fall asleep! I got so annoyed last night as he had the gas heater roaring and its costing heaps to fill at the moment and not lasting long - and he wondered why i got sh!tty at him when I was trying to wake him up around 11pm. Why can't he just go to bed and sleep???------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

Yeah DH often falls asleep on the couch, I usually wake him before I go to bed and he slowly gets up. It doesn't bother me as I know he also gets disturbed by Jack in the night but still has to get up at 6am whereas jack and I often sleep till 7.30am! ------------- Lindsey

My DH would live there if he could!!! He normally nods off around 8.30, then will come to bed about 10. Sometimes though i've woken at around 1.00am to find him still on the couch.
We have 2 couches too, one big one little. He prefers the little couch, and he's rather tall  He looks almost cute all curled up!------------- http://lilypie.com">

Generally not the couch, but if he is really tired the floor - which is a PITA -------------

yep, and he's asleep there right now!! He usually drops off at about 830pm and its often really hard to wake him up so I turn everything off and go to bed (if its cold ill cover him) and he'll come in later asking me why I left him on the couch hehe. But its probably only a few nights a week and then always on a Sunday afternoon (watching league or football). He does work 12 hour days though so I don't mind at all. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hahahaha! He has already told me he is watching the cricket tonight - but guess what he is doing right now?? Sleeping on the couch.....
He is into cycling in a huge way too and the Tour De France starts next weekend. I've already laid down ground rules - lights off, tv very quiet so I can't hear it and he can bloody well rug up with clothes and blankets and not use the heater all night long  I'm such a biatch!!!------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

Me too KH25!!!!
Our old house used to be a HUGE pain as our bedroom backed onto the Lounge and he would THEN...stay awake and WATCH telly....And the bloody thing would kind of reverberate thru the wall even when low...so this house we made sure our room was down other end of the house..... Paiges room backs onto the lounge but she sleeps thru ANYTHING! -------------

Grr my Dh does that aswell!!! I was watching telly in bed the other night and he had been asleep for at least half an hour. He starts snoring and i poked him in the ribs and tell him to stop and I get "But I'm not even asleep, I'm watching TV".
