[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 486283, member: 11791"] Janet - There's a ray of hope in your last post! Tony still wants a relationship, still wants things to work. There's a lot of dead ends in your lives right now - a lot of things where there are no easy answers. But... you CAN still work on the sleep issue. Not at a sleep clinic - which might still be a medium-term need. But in terms of some basics. Do the parts you CAN do. Get whatever benefit you can up front... For example - maybe its time for two beds. Same room, even side by side. But different mattress each... so when one rolls over the other doesn't feel like a ship at sea. (My parents had to do that with Mom's illness - Dad was getting sea-sick at night!) They put two singles side-by-side, fitted single sheets on the bottom, but king sheet and quilts on top. Because the mattresses are separate, it works to have more or less bedding on one side... if one person is hot and the other cold. Two beds also makes it possible for one to sleep with the top of the mattress raised up... From the sounds of it, Tony might benefit from trying that. Check your pillows... might need new ones for xmas? There's good web info out there on creating ideal sleeping conditions... do what you can. Even if you only get an extra hour each per night... it will make a difference in your lives. It also provides a good basis for seeking further help, because you've already done the obvious. [/QUOTE]
