[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also had a “sloth laying around”. It turns out my DH had a serious alcohol problem.[/quote]

DH does drink every night. IPAs. How do I figure out if it’s a problem though? I’m upstairs asleep shortly after the kids… he does his late night couch routine alone.

FWIW, my now ex DH drank beers on the sofa every night to calm his racing mind so he could fall asleep, but alcohol messes with the quality if your sleep. So, it seems like it is working - you fall asleep and stay asleep - But in reality it’s very poor quality sleep so you still feel tired the next morning and the whole cycle just kind of repeats itself getting worse and worse. In our situation my DH had bipolar Type 2. Medication helped. There was also a strong history of alcoholism and his family, so using alcohol in this way seemed normal to him.

You really need to sit down with him and have a conversation in which you expressed concern that he may be depressed and that’s the reason why he’s tired all the time. Ask him to be screened by a psychiatrist. Ask that the psychiatrist me or talk to you briefly as well during the intake, that’s the time when you can expressed concerns about mental health or alcoholism or extreme fatigue.[/quote]
