I need more positive thoughts...

If anyone is still around.

This is kinda TMI, and it's about sexy time.

Lately I've been working all day shifts, which means less sleep, which has been turning into me wanting to go to be at like 9:30pm.  DH is a night owl.

And, I've been taking a lot of advil lately to help with my shin splints, and I think it's making me even drowsier.

The end result is that I keep falling asleep on the couch, and there has been very limited sexy time.  Last night, when I went to bed (way before DH), he asked if he could make a sexy time reservation for tonight.  Poor guy. 

So, I need positive thoughts to help me stay awake longer tonight, or something.  We need to get it on. 

TIA!

Re: I need more positive thoughts...

  • hang in there.

    Sometimes you've gotta take one for the team. 

    You can do it!

    By the way....this has been the story of my relationship. Greg has sleep issues and is basically an insomniac who medication doesn't help. I get up at 5am every day so in bed by 9:30. 

    In the winter, I get dressed with a flash light to not wake up. 

    It's miserable, and the biggest adjustment of our lives together so far. 

    I feel ya. Hugs.....exhausted sex sucks.

    I just seriously laughed so loud at this.  It's totally how I feel right now.  I think I'm going to try and sneak in a nap before DH gets home tonight.  And maybe some coffee. 

  • H wanted to take a nap before work today, but I convinced him that sexy time would be better. He doesn't really take much convincing... Anyway, it was fabulous. So, I highly recommend sex in lieu of sleep.

    Rachel is much better at motivation and positive reinforcement than I am. Listen to her.

  • What time does he get home? I'm a big fan of afternoon/evening sex before dinner. It helps get the appetite up Wink Then I can go to bed without feeling bad.
  • Okay, I thought about the whole sex-before-dinner thing, but tonight, he's picking up dinner on his way home.  So, my options are sex and a cold fish burrito (ick), or eat dinner and hope that we get sex after. 

    Anyway, I'm drinking coffee right now, and if that doesn't work, I'm going to try out the packet of sport beans I bought the other day. 

     

  • I also second the sex in the afternoon.  When I go to bed, I want to go to sleep so, getting it on earlier benefits everyone! 

    I hope your coffee works!

  • Sex always leaves me wide awake, so I'm happy with it in the mornings, at least on weekends when there's no rush to get to work.
  • I like the idea of sexy time in the afternoon.  I hope the coffee works for tonight.
  • Girl, I feel ya. On weekends, I'd be dead tired...after dealing with JJ, driving the 2.5 hours home and work, I just wanted to sleep. I think we went a month without sex because of it...H was a trooper, but I know he wasn't the happiest in the world about it.

    I hope your coffee worked!!

    This. I am of no help...J is a night owl as well and we are going through the exact same thing...so I'm reading this for myself!  Thanks.

  • Sex? What's that? I think I had to have that to get pregnant...
