"Count Sheep to Sleep" My Ass

You know what really sucks? When you fall asleep on the couch watching Shrek the Halls.

Know what else sucks? When your sweet husband is trying to cover you with a blanket because you looked cold all curled up on the couch and accidentally wakes you up.

Wanna know why he's sweet? After accidentally waking you up he lovingly takes you to bed and tucks you in- snug as a bug in a rug style.

Can you guess what sucks for the sweet husband? When your wife emerges from the bedroom half an hour later and says she can't go back to sleep and would he kindly lay in bed with her until she falls asleep, thus interrupting his newly upgraded computer game.

Now, I bet you're dying to know what really, totally, completely is sucky about all this. Well I'll tell you. It's 10:30 and my body thanks me for the catnap as it is feeling refreshed and revived but my brain is telling me if I don't go to bed (and soon) I'll be paying for it come 7am.

And yet, here I am, back on the couch typing this up for all of you to read.

Any of you know a good trick to avoid this situation again? I'd just like to be prepared if there's a sequel to this in my future.
