Debra, Can I relate! I didn't marry an insomniac and my husband wakes up if I get out of bed. What happens to me is that I hurt so bad I have to go to bed and lye down. Then I wake during the night hurting so bad I have to get up. Mornings are the best for me... though I would like the definition of morning to change to say... 6 AM instead of 2, 2:30, 3:00 AM. Heck, for that matter I would even go for 5 AM. I must give credit to the DBS though, I now get average 5.5 hours of sleep a night instead of the 4 that I got prior to the surgery. I have found the different instant message programs to be the best outlet.... there are many other PWP's up in the middle of the night... everywhere. I even have a friend in Australia who is a caregiver who tells me to go back to bed... she tells my husband she is the cyber sleep police keeping an eye on all of us insomniac PWP's in America. I guess the way I have best dealt with the sleep issue is that I realize when my body is tired enough it will sleep.... it does pretty much whatever it wants to, whenever it wants to anyway... LOL... I don't worry about it anymore. My husband is doing better when it comes to my up time.. I believe he has worked his way up to being able to sleep about an hour after I get out of bed. I have made a compromise... I try to stay in bed for 30-60 min. after I am awake and he is up to an hour so that means he can get up to 2 hours more sleep than me a night. Now can anyone help me convince him of this arguement? LOL again! Sorry about this posting twice, the computer fired the first one off all by it's lonesome mid sentence.
