My Husband Dosen’t Want To Get Up In The Morning

Carmichael, CA

My husband just got up for the day. It is 4:30pm. He had been in bed since 9:30 pm last night. What can I or should I do to change this?

I do worry about this as he definitely gets dehydrated. I feel like I should do my best to get him up after 12 hours so he'll eat, drink and walk around. He is mid-stage, so I feel like he can be pushed a bit to be more active. He gets around pretty well. Benefits me too.

I have been able to keep my wife to a schedule. I get her up between 7am and 8am depending on what we have to do that day. She wants to sleep late but I insist she get up. She will nap on the couch during the day but no long sleep episodes. I put her to bed at 10 pm. It takes 20 minuets to do so with medications etc that she needs to have done. She sleeps most of the night except for the frequent trips to the bathroom. I usually take the 10pm to midnight time to wind down and take a bit of me time without the constant questions etc.

We usually go to bed around 10 pm. He won’t go to bed without me. It may be partly because our bedroom is upstairs. It takes him awhile to fall asleep which could be because he sleeps til noon, when I get him up. Sometimes he will get up on his own a little earlier.
