probably a little selfish of me, but i have to get it out

[ilovemyairmen]

I'm afraid if I don't get this out here, I'm gonna take it out on him, and that's the LAST thing I want to do. My SO has been home for just over a week now, and he's been sleeping for like 20 hours everyday. I knew it would take a few days to get over the time change and exhaustion from travel, but when he was over there, he was on the same schedule as me over here...he was awake when I was awake cause he worked night shift. I know its alot to adjust to, but the last time he came home, seemed like just a day or 2 til he was back on track. I just want him to wake up so we can spend some time together. When he does wake up, it seems to be 2 or 3 in the morning, and I'm dead asleep.
I guess its just not turning into the homecoming week I've been waiting for. I knew it wasn't gonna be too exciting, but it was gonna be me and him just laying like broccoli, being lazy, watching some movies...and we've barely done anything. He seems upset about it too, and wants to get some OTC sleeping pills and take them at nighttime, hopefully to help regulate. I just want to go jump on him. Sorry if this sounds whiny, like I said...just had to get it out

Hang in there hun he'll get back to a normal schedule soon.
If not OTC may not help he should talk to a DR.
