Hi Meridith – my wife is exactly like your husband – sleeps like a log – very annoying!! She never understood my insomia properly until recently when I had issues with my GP regarding my sleeping pills (which eventually got sorted). I kept a sleep diary for a few weeks when I was off sleeping pills and it really opened her eyes to how badly I was affected by my insomnia. I wrote down what happened at night (how long I slept/ what I thought about/ frustrations etc) and then also wrote up during the day how I was feeling (tired/ headache/ lethargic etc). Not only did it help her understand (and stop making wisecracks like just relax and close your eyes etc!!) it also helped my doctor understand. Good luck finding support and help and welcome.
