Lesson 8

Sleeping Habits

I haven’t had a good night sleep since

I married my husband, Ted. He plagues me
with a plethora of sleeping disorder. He

snores like a tractor, sleepwalks like a
zombie, gnashes his teeth like a cannibal,

and talks in his sleep like hyena. It is

driving me nuts! He has consulted a
horde of specialists but it was ineffective. I

suggested that we sleep in separate rooms,
but he intensely refused, saying that it’s just

not right for married couples to take separate bunkers. He left me no choice but
to bear with it. I read in a journal that many couples divorce legitimately due to

one’s sleeping disorder. Should I be another one of these many?
