We Are Both Up at 3AM

My husband and I found ourselves wide awake at 3:00 a.m. today. I remember snuggled to him and he has to go to the bathroom so he repositioned my arm. That roused me a little bit, but I just went to my side and went back to sleep. Or tried to. When the husband returns to bed, he made this funny breathing sound and I asked him if that was him, and he said yes. Then he proceeded to tell me his funny dream. A few minutes later, we were giggling about it, and then now I have to get up and go to the bathroom. I tried to go back to sleep but by now we are both up. So I just went out, went to the kitchen and started on coffee. So now I am here on mylot with my coffee. As soon as the smell of coffee permeates the living room, I saw him come out to ask me if I am returning to bed. He smelled the coffee and said I will probably not. Now he is here in the living room with me, cup of coffee on one hand and the TV remote in the other. It is only Wednesday, but this is my husband's Friday at work (we have different work schedules). He is thinking of going to the gym this early, or waiting after work. I will let him decide on that.

You guys are going to be zombies later. Perhaps going to need lots of coffee.

We were! And last night I was so so tired that I passed out on the couch while hanging out with my husband. He has to wake me up after an hour so I can move to the bedroom.

It happens sometimes but coffee was a bad idea you could have returned to bed. With coffee no chance.

You're right, and now I am paying for it, I feel terrible and I know this is because of lack of sleep.

That is too early to get up. I hope you can get a nap later.

I never had a chance to take a nap. I had a long day at work. I initially planned to go home around 3pm. I ended up staying until 5:40 p.m.

I think between four to five hours only. Ugh, that's terrible. I am still paying for it until now.

So from that 3 a.m onwards you didn't sleep again? Then what will happen on you at work then.

I need to be at work around 6am, so I will probably be so tired around 2pm later. I will pay for this later, because I cannot have too many coffee or else my stomach will hurt.
