Dear Queenie,
My husband is a “morning person.” He goes to bed early and then wakes up as soon as it starts to get light out and makes coffee and then comes back to bed to read the newspaper or a book. I. however, am a “night owl” who stays up later than he does and then in the morning I want to sleep later too, but I can’t with him in the bed drinking coffee and rattling the newspaper or turning the pages of a book.
Queenie, what to do?—Light sleeper
Dear Light sleeper,
Beds are for sleeping in (and other “pre-sleep” activities). If you do not already have one, invest in a sofa or a lounge chair for your husband to use after he wakes up in the morning – and for you to use at night when he has gone to bed and you are not quite ready to do so.
