Sleep and marriage

So, I am now married and living with my husband. Wow. Husband, husband, husband. Tee hee...what a word.

There has been a lot of super great, new things, but also some adjustments and growing pains. Sleep is an issue right now.

Before, I lived in the cool basement of my parents' house. I slept in a little twin bed that I had all to myself. Now, I sleep in an apartment that trends towards warmness. The queen bed is very comfy, and brand new, but there's a catch - I have to share. I love my honey, but wowee, does he ever throw off a lot of heat. And you know, it's hard to roll over and squirm until you are comfy when there is a heavy arm drapped over you, holding you down.

As a result, I am not sleeping as well as I used to. It takes me a while to fall asleep at night. And, I periodically wake up in the middle of the night as I toss and turn. Sometimes, I am so angry, because when I wake up, I can hear my husband sleeping soundly. Why isn't he bothered by me, as I am by him? If I had more energy in the middle of the night, I might pummel him. However, instead, I sigh and roll over.

On the weekend, I was so impressed, because I felt like especially towards morning, I was getting quite a few hours of good, solid sleep. Apparently, Sang had felt well rested, and got up to watch morning cartoons. I slept well, because he was gone.

I do, however, think I am slowly getting used to it. The cooler weather is helping, because it cools off the bedroom.

And last night, I guess Sang had to get used to me: I had a bit of a nightmare, and woke up, kinda freaked out. He woke up to me hidden deep beneath the sheets, squeezing him around the middle. Apparently, it was a little surprising.
