half-asleep chatter

mschristie123

Due to drinking way to much wine last night plus a really cold bedroom, I was up for a couple hours in the middle of the night tossing and turning. At one point, I cuddle up to FI and this interchange occurs:

FI (half-asleep): where did you come from?

Me: It's cold in here alone.

FI: that's like life...

(pause)

No one wants to be a burrito alone...

Me: I'd like to be a burrito.

FI: But not alone.... (Promptly falls back asleep and starts snoring softly).

So funny. I mentioned it to him this morning and he had no memory of saying that. Anything impossibly adorable your FI has done lately?

That's too funny! We had a similar conversation last week. I was up and getting ready, FI was still asleep. 

FI: What channel are you going to be on?

Me: What?

FI: What channel? So I can see you?

Me: Huh?

FI: When you're on TV! 

I was cracking up. He eventually woke up all the way and said he must have been in his dream still, but it was so funny.

My FI was half asleep after drinking on St. Paddy's and he said some crazy things.  He said about 4 gibberish words in a row and when I asked him what they meant he repeated the first one again and said "It means shiny."  I repeated his word and said "So that means shiny, huh?  What is shiny that made you say that?"  He goes, "No. (word) means shiny!!  It's shiny, okay!! (word) (word) shiny!"  I thoroughly enjoyed messing with him for another 10 or so minutes.  Finally, he picked up my left hand and said "This is (word).  See?"  The next day he had no idea what he said or why he said it.

I go to bed before DH and get up before him, but I usually kind of half-rouse when he comes to bed.

Apparently, I have thus far had conversations with him about (a) Agincourt; (b) Caesar Rodney and why the Delaware state quarter is wrong; (c) Toblerones and how much I wanted one (thanks, @pumpkinsandturkeys; (d) Mexican food and (e) gallium and its melting point. 

He said he sometimes jiggles me enough to kind of wake me up just to see what I'll say. He said, 'You're kind of like a fortune cookie, only funnier.'

Thanks, babes.

FI sometimes talks in his sleep, but it creeps me out lol. Usually, it's gibberish. He was talking in his sleep a few weeks ago but I can't remember what about. I do remember I was really creeped out and I cuddled with my cat who was sleeping on my other side haha.

@HisGirlFriday13 -- I'm glad that my influence is spreading  And I was thisclose to dreaming about Mexican food after that convo, so...

You should dream about sushi again. I feel as though that would be funny.

HisGirlFriday13

@pumpkinsandturkeys -- When I dreamt about Mexican food (and talked about it), DH agreed to Mexican for date night. Maybe if I dream about sushi and hibachi and talk about it, he'll agree to hibachi!!

It's worth a shot.

FI doesn't do it but I do. Last night I apparently went into great detail about the cake we had in napa and then started bitching about our roommate eating cookies I hadn made yet. FI manages to turn my sleep talking into full conversations.

FI was playing A LOT of Battlefield for a while. About a month ago he exclaimed "There's a guy on the bridge!" and I just knew he was playing Battlefield in his sleep. He was using his special voice for exclaiming things while playing games.

More recently he was snoring for a while and I kind of nudged him half awake.

"WHAT?!?"

"hon, you were snoring"

"I wasn't even SLEEPING!!!" *angrily flops over*

Alrighty then, I guess you were snoring for funsies.

The snoring part is my life. FI always insists he wasn't even asleep, or that he wasn't snoring and I woke him up from sleeping. Uh, if you weren't sleeping, how were you snoring? And if you were sleeping, how do you know if you were snoring or not?

Men.

This morning, FI shouted, "WHO EVEN USES A NIGHTSTAND ANYMORE?!" (He was turned toward the nightstand.. that is on his side of the bed)... He woke up about 10 minutes later and was pleasant as punch.

Not too long after H and I started sleeping together, he was snoring and I nudged him. He grumbled "well fuck you then, bitch" and turned over. He does that a lot, and never remembers. I tell him he needs to tell his subconscious to watch his mouth. He's an angry sleeper I guess.

Re: snoring   It's not really funny.  Over the years my husband snored louder, and louder, which I could ignore.  Then he started sleep apnea.  He would take a breath, and pause for as long as 30 seconds, before struggling for his next breath.  That kept me awake.  I was really afriad he's die in the night.
It took several years of pleading and nagging before he agreed to go to a doctor for a sleep study.  He returned from the hospital in an angry mood.  He said he couldn't sleep at all, so they wouldn't be able to use the data. A week later he met with the doctor to go over the results. 
"Sir, to qualify for needing breathing assistance, you must have 30 episodes in one hour.  In the five hours you slept, you averaged 96 episodes an hour.  Your heath is being severely impacted, and you need to sleep with a bi-pap machine.  You have the most severe sleep apnea I have seen."
Now that he uses his breathing machine, his blood pressure has gone back to near normal, he feels much better and has more energy to enjoy life.  He travels with it.  This does mean no camping, but I like motels better, anyway.
If any of you notice your guy breathing irregularly at night, check it out!  People do die from sleep apnea!

The very first night H and I spent together he told me in his sleep "I will pull out my ninja sword and we will fight!". This was made weirder by the fact that he actually had a ninja sword in his room! He has also tried to order Tim Horton's from me and once shouted "boobies everywhere!".

My DH does mumble in his sleep occasionally.  I can't remember anything funny right now though.

My second college roommate neglected to tell me she talked in her sleep.  Heck, she might not have known since she was a freshman and at her parents' house she was the only person sleeping on that floor of the house.  All I know is, I'm up late studying for a test one night, room is almost totally dark except for my little desk lamp.  She turns towards me and in the creepiest voice you've ever heard she says "DEATH!!!" and rolls back over.  Needless to say, I did not get any more sleep that night.  I told her about it the next morning when she woke up and saw me cuddled in a corner of my bed, desk lamp still on, staring at her like she was possessed.  Apparently, this is something she and her friends yell whilst playing video games.  I assume she was dreaming about playing video games but it was still super freaky.

My dad has sleep apnea and uses a CPAP, so I was allllllll about FI going to the sleep clinic ASAP. However, the brat had a migraine that day and took TWO extra strength Advil in the afternoon, so guess whose muscles were all relaxed and who had no inflammation that night? Yeah. Fail.

I'm trying to get him to go back because I KNOW he has sleep apnea, and it puts you at such high risk for heart attacks, etc. Plus, it prevents you from getting a sound, deep sleep and your body doesn't restore itself properly, which causes issues over the long term.

@CMGRagain DH did this too.  It freaked me out so much when we started dating that I had him bring it up with his Dr.  He did the sleep testing and the rests showed he did it within normal levels, so he was fine.  I still hate it though

FiancB

Oh yeah, sleep apnea is definitely a big deal. My dad had it. FI barely snores though; that was one out of maybe two times he was doing it enough to bother me. Since I can't stand ANY noise when I'm sleeping, that says a lot.

It's kind of like sleeping with Darth Vader!

This x1000!! I swear I'm going to set up the GoPro one night so he can see just how much sleep he's getting while he's "not sleeping".

My Fi occasionally does this, though I must admit I talk in my sleep way more than he does. 

I actually texted him something he said in his sleep once so I wouldn't forget it. He asked me if I thought it was awkward for others too. I asked "what?" And he repeated the question exactly as before. I thought he might be awake, so I repeated the question back to him. He said "huh?" so I explained that he had just said that to me twice and he told me "I must have been dreaming" and then continued sleeping. The irony of it kills me!

I frequently talk in my sleep. My sister sleepwalks. I'm sure Fi  has lots of funny stories if the things I've said. He's told me I mostly yell at the dogs in my sleep, though.

I talk in my sleep constantly, though mostly when I'm under a lot of stress. When FI and I first started spending the night with each other, I'd wake the poor thing up all the time with my talking. I'd end up shouting at some points and waking myself up too. Never remembered what I said and FI has only told me that it's nothing crazy, usually I was talking like I was at work. Since switching jobs last June and quitting the second PT job I had, I don't think I've had one incident of sleep talking (at least that either of us knows about). I'm sure as the wedding gets closer, the talking will pick up again.

As far as sleep apnea goes, my ex has it. His snoring was absolutely terrible while we were dating. I had to use ear plugs, a fan and take OTC sleeping medication just to put up with it. When he went into the Navy they tested him for sleep apnea and he now has a CPAP machine. My best friend actually had surgery back in high school to correct her breathing and stop her sleep apnea. Her HS boyfriend's dad was a doctor and noticed that her breathing would stop when she was napping on their couch one day. Very glad he noticed and she was able to get it taken care of at such a young age.
