(This is not about anyone specific. Just noticed way back how there are couples where one person would fall asleep at all times. ‘Narcolepsy Queen’ had a better ring than ‘Narcolepsy King’ too.)
You slept while the movie played.
Leaving me to watch alone.
You passed out while the baby cried.
Abandoning me until dawn.
You snored for the entire road trip.
Forcing me to talk to myself.
You went to bed at half past four.
Causing me to bring dinner home.
You were snoozing while I was yelling.
Letting the accident come to fruition.
You sleep all hours of the day.
Yet you’re the one who claims exhaustion?




I know couples like this. My dad used to fall asleep while we watched Doctor Who. I wonder if he saw any of the episodes.
I once fell asleep holding a pencil. I woke up still clutching it.

I’ve dozed off during shows. I now stop them and go to bed as soon as it starts. Better to get sleep than miss most of an episode.

I know folks like this. Have to wonder how one of the partnership puts up with it.

It’s fine if the sleeper doesn’t get upset towards their partner. That’s when things get problematic.
