Sleep as long as possible, get up. Have a backup alarm for emergencies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She falls asleep after each one and still has to rush to get out the door. They are even set for when she's in the shower. Mental! Do you mean 8 different alarm clocks/devices? If so, absolute lunatic behaviour. If not, still absolute lunatic behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 21 hours ago, The Minertaur said: Flying back from Las Vegas last week. Overnight flight so needing to sleep on the plane to try and avoid crazy jet lag. Plane left at 5pm (Vegas time - 1am UK) and I managed to drift off to sleep after a couple of hours. Must have been asleep for about 20 minutes when I'm woken up by my wife to tell me that she can't sleep. What on Earth she was expecting me to do to assist her here I've no idea. Of course then neither of us get anymore sleep on this flight and we're both still struggling today. Wouldn't you know it I'm the one back at work today while she has another day off! My wife is off on maternity leave the now whilst I pay the bills. Last week I was feeling a little more tired than usual after work and was hinting like f**k for a nap. She growls that no way am I going to bed leaving her to bath, feed and put baby to sleep. She soon says that he's due a nap as he's been up nearly 2 hours and if we get him down we can both have a nap. After about 15mins he's back up screaming the place down and she's nudging me like mad to go deal with it. Shortly I find myself up feeding and bathing junior whilst she's lying in a coma. Must be hard no working all day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockMusic Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 8 hours ago, A96 said: Much like my missus. Sets the alarm for 6 and then again every 15 minutes. Doesn’t usually bother me cos I get up at 6, but on the odd occasion when I don’t have to get up , the 15 minute reminders are a real pain in the arse if I’ve dozed off. And even more so if she’s actually got up and isn’t in the bedroom to switch the fvkker off. She says she gets her best sleep after the first alarm. Ok , so why not do something to stop it being interrupted , then and just set the reminder for 7 ? I've had the very same conversation on too many occasions to recall. All to no avail, of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how tired you are it's almost always much better to tell the Mrs just to f**k off to the spare bed and deal with the wean in your own way. Even if you lose out on a nap at least you and the wee yin will get some peace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got 1 1/2 hours of interrupted sleep. Why not just set it for 7:50am and hit snooze it once and then get up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Started talking about going abroad this year. Told her immediately Turkey & Dubai are both big no’s for me. Within 10 minutes she’s decided that because her friend likes turkey we’re going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
