Would someone explain to me why my husband can't seem to go to bed at night without making alot of noise. He always opens the door loudly and then turns on the light to the bathroom and shuts the door. He never seems to realize how loud and bright this is. It wakes me up every time. I have trouble falling back to sleep too. To top this off he does it at 3 a.m.
I have trouble with insomnia so I wind up staying up all night. I did get to watch three shows we recorded while we were on vacation so I guess there is a bright side to everything. Let's hope that I'm awake this afternoon. The fun part of all this is I finally got rid of my sleep apnea and sleep better, but that doesn't do any good when your up half the night. I need some caffiene.

I think that you should make a helluva lot of noise with all the lights on at, say, 4:30 in the morning when YOU are awake. Remodel the kitchen, take up woodworking, put all the sneakers in the washing machine, you get the idea. When he complains, point out the irony. Apologize. Then wait till he juuuuust starts to fall asleep. Tell him you want to talk, since he is awake anyway.
He feels the need to wake you up at 3:00 a.m. and doesn't seem to care that it's killing you. I think reciprocity is the order of the day. This isn't passive/aggressive by the way. I was thinking more guerilla/aggressive.
Heheheheh I actually did think of doing something like that. I just worry I'll wake up the kids in the process. I'd really pay for that. LOL.
Try taking the bulb out of the light socket in the bathroom. See if he notices. Do it right before YOU go to bed.
That might work. I just may try it. LOL
BTW I posted a pic on up through the trees. I'll post more later.
I'm all for escalation. I think Suz has it on the nose - Kelly, too - gosh, isn't it nice to hang out with smart chicks?!?
So glad you're back!
Last night I told him to be quieter. He came up with a solution I didn't expect. He got ready for bed in the other bathroom. Such a smart man. He didn't complain either. Really smart man.
