Apparently my son and my husband can both cough without waking up. And they both snore horribly when sick. Between Jens coughing and snoring like a freight train and the monitor popping on and off with Sammy coughing, there was no way I could get any sleep in the bedroom last night. And sleeping on the guest bed in Sammy's room was also out for the same reasons.
So, I relocated to the couch somewhere around midnight when I just couldn't take it anymore*. I apparently dreamed Jens coming to look for me and an entire conversation about why I was sleeping on the couch in which he seemed proud that Sammy shared his ability to cough without waking, an ability I lack. I was very confused when Jens came in the living room at 5am wondering what in the world I was doing on the couch! It was very, very real.
I ache today and feel like a complete zombie, either from sleeping on the couch or being sick or some combination of the two. I'm thinking about hunting down the air mattress for tonight, 'cause I don't imagine it's going to be any better.
* You know you're there when you start thinking about smothering your spouse with the pillow you've been clutching to your head in a futile attempt to block out the snoring.
