Himself is a notorious insomniac. I usually try to go to bed around 10 PM, read and watch TV for two or three hours, and just as I'm ready to shut it all off and grab some sleep, he comes to bed and turns up the volume. Jay and Conan (second run) are NOT good sleep partners. Himself swears, however, that he thinks too much and too hard to sleep without the TV. I say the flickering lights and volume differences are not condusive to sleeping. So, he tossess and turns, switching channels until I sigh (very loudly) at which point he goes to the sofa. Then, I get insomnia, because I know he's uncomfortable. It's a vicious cycle.

There are a few things that will relax him and put his lights out, however. Strenuous exercise is one of them. I usually encourage him to play paintball if he's had too many nights like this.

If it weren't for him, I could sleep through an earthquake.
