He Can’t Sleep

I rarely have any trouble sleeping. But Hubby rarely gets a good night’s sleep. If I got as little sleep as he does, I would need to start using dark circle cream. You can’t tell it by looking at him at all, but every morning he complains about lying awake for hours at a time.

The doctor gave him some pills to try, but they didn’t help and had some undesirable side effects. So she told him to try Dramamine. He hasn’t bought any yet, but I’m going to see to it that he either tries that or Benadryl. Benadryl always knocks me out and makes me have funky dreams, but when I wake up I feel fine and dandy. So I figure maybe it will have the same effect on him.

If neither of those work, I guess he’ll have to try a more expensive prescription. I hope it doesn’t come to that, because between the two of us, we’ve racked up a ridiculous amount of medical bills this month. But whatever it takes, he needs to start getting more sleep.
