I think they put their worries to sleep very quickly and we stay awake trying to figure out a solution.

It;s the same here. My husbands head hits the pillow and he is fast asleep. It takes me forever! Sometimes I go to the living room and watch what goes on during the night!

I agree with you. My husband worries about nothing. He lets me do all the worrying. He falls asleep as soon as his head touches the pillow.

Yeah will I take a pill and it has been working for years! But if I do have a wakeful night it is usually because I'm worried about something. I love my little blue pill because I am the light sleeper.

Although they are grown and gone..We are listening for that child calling to mommy in the middle of the night. And then there is the gotta go feeling, too. LOL

I think you answered your own question - men SNORE the night away - hence - no sleep!

Quite complaining. I would give any thing to have my husband back snoring and all other bad habits, but he died in 1999. You will find a very big hole in your life when they die. Count your blessing instead.
