My mother sleeps very little either night or day. Never appears tired.0

My husband is just the opposite, all he wants to do is stay in his bed. I don’t think he’s sleeping so much. Says that’s the only place he can be warm. When he’s up he’s walking around looking for the cold. Touching the walls, the corners of the walls, feeling the air. When the heat comes on (of course the air comes out cool before the heat) that’s when he finds the cold. Tells me I’m trying to kill he because I’m freezing him to death. Most of the time he’s sitting in his chair with a heater in front of him, multilayers of clothes on and a jacket. Wears a toboggan all day and sleeps in it. It’s so warm in the house sometimes I have to go outside to cool off.
Otis you are definitely missing a good nights sleep! I hope you can get something to help your husband sleep.

That sounds exhausting for you both! A couple of thoughts, and you probably have done this - has he been seen by a medical professional for this? Are you going to bed at his usual bedtime? Does he get plenty of fresh air and exercise during the day? No caffeine, chocolate, alcohol, even tea - those are my ideas. Best wishes for some sleep!!!0
