[quote=Anonymous]OP, I say this with all seriousness, cut the cable (if that's what he is watching), or change your Netflix password, etc. I can understand some Netflix binge watching once in a while, but eventually what is left to watch that he's up all night all the time?  Watching the entire season of Stranger Things in 2 days, ok I get that, but at some point pretty quickly you hit a wall where there is nothing new to watch.  I think it's a sign of a much bigger problem.

My DH is a HUGE sleeper and it is so annoying.  He doesn't stay up late, sometimes he goes to bed at 8pm!  And then on the weekends he naps from right after lunch for about 3-4 hours.  No lie. I had him tested for cancer because it has gotten worse over the years.  Every weekend. It's like living with an infant when you can't leave the house. He needs an insane amount of sleep.

Eventually I started just saying f this, and left the house and not wait for him to wake up. I accepted invitations to do stuff.  I started leaving the kids at home to things solo so he was forced to take care of them. So sometimes he gets his precious uninterrupted naps, but not at the cost of our regular life.  You might want to take the same approach.  Just leave on time to get to work on time. It will be messy at first, but this current situation isn't working for you or your family.[/quote]
