No recollection

[Shae]

I need some prayer help. I am quiet abusive and grumpy when I get woken by my husband and I have absolutely no recollection ot it at all. He says to me, like I can do something about it, please dont be grumpy again tonight when I come home from shift work. I said to him, it is like it didnt even happen.
I believe I had a very solid sleep, but apparently not, it was not lengthy,but not nice either.

How can I control something I know nothing about? I need a prayer, please and God Bless. and thankyou

I actually work shift work and am rather grumpy (completely by nature; I’ve never been a “morning person”) if my wife has to wake me, despite the fact that she’s been up and caring for our son and may not have gotten as much sleep as I have. I work to improve myself in this regard, but I do rely on her forbearance.

I will pray for you and your husband.

My only suggestion would be to change the time you go to bed by about half an hour or so (maybe look up how long sleep cycles last?) so you would be in a different part of your sleep cycle when he gets home.

I hope you find a solution. I get super grumpy when I am awakened sometimes but I remember it later.

I’m not sure I understand you. Why would your husband feel some need to wake you in the middle of a night’s sleep, and even if you were fully aware of where you were and what was happening, why wouldn’t you object to that? Isn’t that usually a situation where the one who wakes the other does the apologizing?

My husband sometimes comes home after I’m well asleep, and he tries very hard not to wake me. He wouldn’t blame me for anything I say when I’m not even entirely awake. I’m assuming that you’re not sleep-walking, although even that would not be something you cure by consciously wanting to change it. I think it is reasonable for you to reply that you don’t remember even waking up, that you can’t help what you do in your sleep, that of course you will make every effort to be good-tempered with him no matter what, but that if he finds you disagreeable when you’re half-wakened that making a greater effort not to wake you up in the first place might be a more practical solution to his problem.

After all, there is a reason it is considered a wisdom to “Let sleeping dogs lie.”

You can’t.

My husband says I grump when he wakes me up in the middle of the night. I remember nothing of being woken or grumping. He brushes it off.

all girls do this when they wake up, its normal.

This is so easy.

You have low blood sugar. Especially after you haven’t eaten for some hours.

The solution is for you to tell him very directly, in guy language, that “I HAVE LOW BLOOD SUGAR AND MAKE SURE I EAT EVERY FEW HOURS OR I’LL GET GRUMPY.”

By the way, your condition won’t be as bad if you do a lot of aerobic exercise and stop eating sugary foods – especially late in the day.
