Sleeping Problems...

Derek and I sleep on a California King size bed. My parents bought our bed for our wedding present and we love it! I have never been a cuddle person in bed just simple because I like to be cool (temperature wise) when I sleep. Derek once gave me a hard time about it, but then we both realized we like our space when we sleep.

The last couple of months I have had a hard time sleeping. I figured it was because I was drinking too much before bed and just have to get up to go to the bathroom. Then after going to the bathroom it takes me a little while to fall back to sleep.

It has been a rough couple of months. One night Derek finally confessed and told me...  every time he climbs into bed at 2 or 3am after working on homework, he wakes me up and I get up (thinking he is asleep) and go to the bathroom! I had no clue that this was the reason I was having sleepless nights!

Ok so Derek and I try now to go to bed at the same time to avoid this problem. Well, about a week ago Derek elbowed me in the face in the middle of the night. I woke up to being elbowed in the face, seriously!  Have you ever woken up by this..... pretty annoying and I wanted to wake him up and tell him what he did, but just decided it would be best to tell him in the morning. Then early this week I woke up to Derek poking me in the eye! OK SERIOUSLY!!!! He poked me in one eye and then the other. So I pushed him and tried to wake him up and he just moaned and rolled over.... once again I felt it wasn't worth it to wake him up since my first attempt didn't woke.

Then last night once again in the middle of the night I woke up because I got an elbow to the face! I have no clue what is going on in Derek's dreams, but it needs to stop because he is totally beating me up at night!

I told him that I am going to start video taping us sleeping so I can see what exactly is going on! He has been golfing a lot lately maybe he is golfing and hits me in the face during his dream swing!
