Husband sleeps in too much

Surely he can get up at 12 at least one weekend day

If he is working 12 hour days, I assume that means he gets home at 9, has dinner and goes to bed (though i would guess company springs for dinner).

Say asleep by 11, up at 7, at work by 8.

This would be tiring, but if all he does is work, he shouldn’t need 14 hour sessions of sleep.

Is he staying up till like 2 every night?

Sounds like a loser.

Have depression or other medical issues been ruled out?

No advice, but mine did this and it turned out his testosterone levels were very low. He corrected that and now has more energy and doesn’t sleep away the whole weekend. Still sleeps in until 10 or so, but 10 is better than 1 or 2.

Mine suffers from insomnia and the weekends are the only times he can catch up on sleep. i work a lot during the week so I actually enjoy the one-on-one time with my son. DH takes over in the afternoons or we all do something together. His night owl tendencies were also amazing when our son was a baby - he did most of the middle-of-the-night feeds. I'm an early riser and much prefer morning duty.

I don't see the big deal if he's pulling his weight otherwise.

OP, is he staying up until 4am?
