What would you do?
Call for them? Check the bathroom? Look for them? Or would you just roll over and go back to sleep? |

We've been together a long time. When he's out of bed, he's jettisoning weight in the bathroom. When I'm out of bed, I'm having a panic attack (and he comes and gets me, which is very helpful). |

| Generally, I know he is having trouble sleeping so he is downstairs watching tv. I will talk to him in the morning about what was causing his sleepless night. |

| Usually check on him. He's either in the bathroom or having an anxiety attack. He knows if I'm up, I either have insomnia or don't feel well. |

| That would be very unusual so if he wasn't in the bathroom I'd probably call out to see where he was. |

| Assume she is in guest room/walk in/sex room taking care of herself and go join her. Happens once or twice a month. |

| He is downstairs eating peanut butter out of the jar. Every time. No mysteries here. |

| We are shift workers so I go to sleep by myself most nights. DW usually comes to bed betweeb 12-2. If I woke up at 3 and she wasnt in bed I would look out the window and check for her car. if its there I go back to sleep. If its not I call her to make sure all is ok. |

I would peak over at the bathroom and see if the light was on.
If not, I'd give it a couple of minutes and see if I heard him downstairs (getting water or using bathroom down there if not feeling well) If not I'd go check on him. . The only time this has happened and he wasn't getting water or in the bathroom was when he happened to wake up at 4 to emails alerting that a major system was down at work and he was trying to fix it before people logged in. I found him angry and half asleep in his office. |

| It’s unusual so I would probably check on him. If it was a common occurrence, I would likely roll over and go back to sleep. I think if my DH woke up and I wasn’t there he would assume I was having a fitful night and go back to sleep, which would be fine by me because I wouldn’t necessarily need anything. |

Depends on how awake I am. Awake but drowsy, I roll over and go back to sleep. If I wake up again and he isn’t back, I will get up.
Awake and really awake, I will go looking for him. But my husband runs on very little sleep, and knows I need a fair amount of it. If he wakes up at 3 am and can’t fall back asleep quickly, he gets up and goes downstairs to work, so he doesn’t disturb my sleep. |

If he's not in the bathroom, he's stressed about work so he's watching TV downstairs.
If I'm not in the bathroom, it means one of the kids puked, had a bad dream, has a nose bleed, has a fever, or saw a bug. |
