[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are going to sleep at 9:30 and waking at 6:30 — that is 9 hours!

Do you have sleep apnea or other health conditions?[/quote]

I have always had chronic sleep issues including insomnia.  It sometimes takes me awhile to fall asleep and there are times I wake up and take awhile to fall back to sleep.  I’ve found keeping a consistent schedule helps my overall health and well being.  I’d say my goal is 8 hours minimum, but 9 can happen.  I do not have sleep apnea but chronic migraines and lack of sleep is a massive trigger. [/quote]

I was wondering if I some how wrote this….this is my life too except my husband is much more understanding and I prioritize sleep and a consistent schedule very highly because of the reasons you stated. Separate rooms especially some of the time are ok when you have a sleep issue!  My spouse understands this and also would not act the way you described. He actually needs more sleep than I do but is a much more consistent and hardy sleeper … I am so jealous. I find it really sad that your spouse is acting like this knowing it contributes to your migraines. Honestly I would ask for marriage counseling if she really cares this little about your health. I’m so sorry. [/quote]

I honestly just think people who need less sleep don’t “get it”.  I hate to simplify it that way, but a lot of these responses make it clear many think I’m being “selfish” with my need for consistent sleep.  It’s very much possible my wife feels the same way because she can function on less sleep.  Perhaps she thinks I’m being dramatic with the sleep situation and so doesn’t take my annoyance seriously.
