Hi Lee,

Well, my LDH faithfully goes to bed at 9 every night. Usually after fighting sleep watching TV on the couch, sometimes actually snoozing there. On weekends he will stay up a little later, but not much and most times on weekends he will take a nap or two. Sleeping is one sign of depression but could also be a sign of other things. Has your W been checked out by a dr? I am pretty certain my H's is due to depression. I have talked to many other people with LD spouses and needing alot of sleep seems to be one of the problems with them. Why don't you make the appt for the C? I wish I could even get my H to talk about going to counseling. Heck, I wish I could get my H to talk about anything except the usual "how was your day" stuff. The TV is very important to my H. I even turned it off one time when we were trying to have a conversation and he promptly turned it back on. Its the same thing every night, he parks in front of the TV I find something else to do.
