M is none other than my dear husband. He is an absolute sleep lover. He simply loves to sleep and yes he is a deep sleeper too, hardly taking 2 minutes to sleep off after lying on the bed. I was no different until we got married- and since he actually takes no time to sleep I have begun to feel that I am an insomniac.
Like the other day we saw a bunch of seals lazing around doing nothing on the floating wood planks at pier 39 , SFO , it was then I was wondering “what a pathetic life – doing nothing” to myself is when M exclaimed with complete enthusiasm – “look at them , what a life – doing nothing – I would love to be one of them !!!”
Or like the other time , once while sleeping , I mushily digged my nose onto his face struggling to sleep. M was obviously getting bothered since I was disturbing his much beloved sleep . After bearing that for a minute or two , he said
M : “You know what, if you want to continue sleeping like that, we might have to breathe in sync”
Me : “A what??? “
M : “I meant we need to either exhale at the same time or inhale together at the same time”
Me: “And why is that ?”
M: “If I exhale and you inhale, I don’t wanna you to take in all of the CO2 ….”
Now who would want to do that , I obviously turned around and M went back to sleep HAPPILY !!
