Things I am not very good at: Keeping Greg awake

My husband Greg suffers from a sleeping disorder. He is awake when everyone else is asleep (the middle of the night) and is asleep when everyone else is awake ( any time he sits still for 5 mins during the day).

He sleeps at restaurants






He sleeps through movies, church, business meetings, parties, dinner conversations.

He sleeps on boats

He sleeps when we are at home and he sleeps when we are out. 


He sleeps at picnics

He sleeps sitting up and he sleeps lying down.





He sleeps on planes
He sleeps with other people and he sleeps alone.




He sleeps at church home groups
                                                                                                                                                                     
He sleeps on trains

He sleeps with his mouth open and he sleeps with his mouth closed.





He sleeps in cars
He sleeps with his hat on and he sleeps with his hat off.
He sleeps on safaris









He sleeps when he has a moustache and he sleeps when he doesn't have a moustache

He sleeps on bus tours

He sleeps on beaches

The bad news is that I am not very good at keeping him awake as I was with him when all these photos were taken. The good news is that I love him awake or asleep; in fact sometimes I prefer him asleep as then I can do all the talking!

    1. Thanks Di! I think I have seen John sleep through a rugby game, even with me screaming in his ear, so he may just beat Greg on that one!
