WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR HUSBAND WAKES YOU UP & YOU CAN'T GO BACK TO SLEEP?  HE HAS DIABETES & GETS UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT& SOMETIMES  I CAN'T GET BACK TO SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT IS WHY I AM ON THE COMPUTER(AT THE LIBRARY) AT 9 AM!  I AM SO TIRED & FRUSTRATED!  I CAN BARELY STAND IT ANYMORE!  ANY SUGGESTIONS???????????

NORMALLY I WOULD STILL BE IN BED BUT...I HAD TO TAKE THE SHORT WALK TO GET TO THIS COMPUTER; MAYBE JUST TO COMPLAIN BUT AT THE SAME TIME TO TOSS AROUND HOW I AM FEELING AT THIS VERY MOMENT. I NEED TO GO TO BED EARLIER IF I AM TIRED THAT IS! LATELY I HAVEN'T BEEN DOING TOO BAD BECAUSE I EXERCISE ALMOST EVERY DAY & GET SLEEPY ENOUGH TO FALL ASLEEP EARLY ANYHOW!

I HAVE SOMEWHAT OF A SLEEP DISORDER, TOO!  OH WELL...MAYBE I SHOULDN'T COMPLAIN--HE EVEN SAYS HE CAN'T HELP IT!  I LOVE HIM BUT MAYBE SOMETIMES I SHOULD SLEEP ON THE COUCH--THAT IS IF THE COUCH WAS UNCOVERED!  BLAH! BLAH! BLAH! BOO HOO HOO!

MAYBE I AM JUST HAVING A PITY PARTY. I WON'T KEEP GOING ON ABOUT THIS BECAUSE MY LIFE ISN'T TOO BAD OTHERWISE!  ACTUALLY I LOVE MY LIFE EVEN THOUGH IT IS VERY SIMPLE & SOMETIMES BORING.  I ENJOY HAVING TIME TO DO WHATEVER I WANT WITHOUT STEPPING ON ANYONE'S TOES OR BUSTING THROUGH ANYONE'S BOUNDARIES. GET WHAT I MEAN?  I  AM SO TIRED & I CAN SEE THAT I AM RAMBLING! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!  AND HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOTHERS ON THIS SITE! RELAX & ENJOY!

JUST ME KATHLEEN

Not to take your problem lightly. I too have Diabetis and Im up and down in the nite using the bathroom. Thats besides the point.

I wouldn't have survived the marriage with the A, who snored like a freight train and was a tosser, without separate bedrooms. 

I always had my own room and bathroom and so did he. Not having a good nite sleep can affect your blood pressure and weight. It was essential for me.

Hope you solve the situation.. Luv, Bettina

Do those mattresses I've seen advertised where a person can jump up and down and not spill the drink work? If they do, maybe that would help.

Kathleen,
I don't have any suggestions. I do know what it is like to have someone waking me up with their up and down and tossing and turning.

Take care of you.

Yours in recovery,
Mandy

I also get up in the middle of the night and pee i think that is one of the side affects of diabetes.

Maybe try eome ear muffs or eye covers????

With Hope,
Andrea

oh my husband has diabetes but doesn't tend to get up too much. He DOES however snore and has restless leg syndrome so he kicks about all night.
I have Chronic fatigue syndrome so have sleep issues anyway.

I HAVE made sure my settee is clear and used it often. I have my own set of portable blankets. I have also used a spare bedroom since one of my kids left home. It is sheer luxury to have my own bed.
I've also gone to stay with my Mum or a friend for the odd night.

BUT it can upset him.

I think as with all things if it creates a resentment then I have to look after my own needs first. I can balence it by sharing our room until I am tearing my hair out and then allow myself a well earned break lol
