4something am she starts coughing soon after she's in our room.
"I can't sleep, someone needs to get my elephant."
Then she flicks my hair or rubs my face. It's sweet but not conducive to sleep.
5:30am I'm up and downstairs watching some c-span news show and surfing the web. I have come to the realization that I shall never get enough sleep again. I don't like traveling much for work but it is a wonderful way to catch up on my sleep. My poor wife doesn't even get that luxury and has insomnia on top of it all.

It's true we're plagued by exhaustion. But to tell you the truth, it's nice to have someone to talk to at 4am plus I like the way she twirls my hair and gives me spontaneous little kisses. Yet another plus is that it eliminates your snoring problem. So there is an upside. For me, anyway. xo
