Impact of sleep difficulities on a partner



There have been so many, uhm... I woke up one morning, I was- I was at... My boyfriend and I had been together for a while. We were- you know, we were- we were asleep and I woke up one morning and he wasn't in bed. And I- I didn't know where he was so I started calling his name. He had been sleeping in the living-room. And I went into the living-room and I said, "What are you doing here?" and he said, "You were fighting... in your sleep." And uhh, I was like, "What do you mean I was fighting?" Like I knew I twitched and I kicked a little bit, even as a kid. And he goes, "No. You were- you were punching and- and kicking me." And I thought, "Well why didn't you wake me up?" And he said, "I just figured you needed to work through it." And so he- he went and slept in the- on the couch in the living-room.
