Sleepy husband

He could have an underactive thyroid

Men are much more prone to this than women, because after a meal it’s usually us that clears away and does the washing up. Even this moderate activity uses up the excess blood sugar, going for a walk does the same, so keep active if at all possible.

Perhaps he has sleep apnoea? My husband was diagnosed years ago and wears a mask every night for this condition which helps a lot. Again, retired husbands seem to be bored and inactive which is not good for their well-being either. Mine has control of the tv remote and annoyingly falls asleep.

My husband could sleep for England and win! He's been like that since I met him (age 16). He could quite easily sleep for 12 hours a night and still have an hour nap after his evening meal. It doesn't bother me, apart from on holiday, when he changes his routine and has a 2 hour nap before we go out for dinner! I so wish I could just drop off to sleep so easily- I'm the opposite, I go to bed late and regularly wake up at 5.30am, 5 hours seems to be all I can manage.

I had similar problems with my husband, got him to the doctor and he was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid. After medication he is like a new man. Might be worth a check with his GP.

I have suggested going to doctor and even making appointment for him. He's recently been diagnosed with AF and that's not helped.
He thinks he's protecting me from doing too much. Also ge knows that the children earn more than we could ever have dreamt off. I'm really proud if them abd still like to treat them.
I think the main problem is boredom since retirement. We do go out together ,walking coffee etc. I go to the gym . He has shed things to do. I thinks he's depressed.
