I can relate to the nocturnal problem. I am a morning person and H is a night owl. My BIG gripe with the whole thing is that he doesn't come to bed with me and snuggle and talk. He likes for me to stay downstairs and watch tv with him (I'm talking pre-bomb), but he is in a tv coma and I don't get what I need that way.
I don't know if that's true in your sitch, but wanted to give ya a big...I feel ya. Your description of running around with your head cut off in your game was pretty hilarious.
