She Finally Asked Her Husband To Sleep In Another Room Because He Sets A Bunch Of Early Alarms, Always Snoozes Them, And Constantly Getting Woken Up Was Driving Her Insane
This 30-year-old woman is currently married, but her husband, who is 31, has one particular habit that really ticks her off.
Every night, he sets between five and 10 alarms for the following morning– which start going off at 6:30 a.m. But the real kicker is that neither of them ever actually wakes up that early!
“Instead, I’m jolted out of my sleep while he lays there letting his alarm scream,” she revealed.
Then, her husband will snooze his phone, and the cycle continues– with his alarm going off every 9 minutes. Eventually, she cannot take it anymore, either, and is forced to just lie there awake, losing out on the remainder of her morning’s rest.
Now, she realizes that some people may not believe this is a big issue. However, it is to her.
“Especially when you add two children under three and my dang anxiety,” she said.
Her husband knows that she suffers from anxiety, too, yet he never changes anything. So, now, she is always anxious before she even gets into bed at night because she knows his alarms are going to shock her out of her sleep the next morning.
“And I wake up most mornings in a panic because of his alarms and my broken sleep,” she admitted.
Apparently, her husband came from a family who didn’t “believe” in mental health. Still, he had always tried to be supportive of her in the past whenever she felt down.

When it comes to the alarm issue, though, he refuses to fix it, and it always makes her feel like garbage. She cannot understand why he doesn’t just turn off all of the extra early alarms and only use later ones for when he actually wakes up.
“I feel like if he had any idea how anxiety and panic feel, he wouldn’t keep doing this to me,” she vented.
And since she has brought this problem up to her husband dozens of times over the years, she’s actually starting to look at him differently due to the disrespect.
That’s why she recently asked her husband to just sleep in another room if he is going to set so many alarms and refuse to get up.
Still, ever since standing up for herself, she’s not sure whether basically kicking him out was the wrong thing to do.
Have you ever had a partner who consistently sleeps through their alarms? Do you think it’s fair that she’s constantly getting woken up? What do you think about how she handled the situation?
