My Sleep Talkin' Man

My Ben makes me laugh more in a day than I ever though possible - even when he's sleeping he can entertain me like no one I've ever known!

My Ben is a sleep talking man.  It doesn't happen every night (that I'm aware of) but now and then I just happen to be awake enough to catch the hilarity, and at times I'm even the cause of some of his sleepy banter, which was the case the other night.

Ben can fall asleep at the drop of a hat - where as it takes me a good 15-45 minutes to fall asleep.  Part of the reason for this, is Ben's unfortunate ability to wake up at 6:40am every single morning, no matter where we are, and how late we stayed up the night before - where as, until something wakes me, I will sleep solid.  So on weekends when Ben gets up to play video games at 7am I snooze until 9am - thus making it easier for him to sleep in the evening, and me, not so much.  So on those "falling asleep" occasions I often bring my lap top to bed with me to kill some time before I start feeling sleepy, while Ben snoozes beside me.  This often means I also have my bedside table lamp on - which can interupt Ben's sleep patterns.

The other night I was on my lap top, and Ben had been fast asleep on his side facing away from me for a good 20 minutes when suddenly he started trying to get up and wildly reaching at something - I watched him for a minute, and heard him say "I can't reach it"  "I can't grasp it, it's too far"  "I can't get my hand around it"  in which he then turned over to find another solution, and saw me, and instantly realized he had been talking in his sleep and added "I'm not making any sense, I'm sleeping - Don't laugh at me"  Which made me erupt into a fit of giggles.  And then I promptly re-told the scenario in my Facebook Status update - I'm a such a good wife!

 In my old phone I actually had a note called "Things Ben says in his sleep".  Unfortunately my old phone is no where near me, but I'll see if I can try to remember some of the gems.

B: "You win pooper!"
H: "What?"
B: "You win!  You win the prize!"
H: "uh... are you sleeping?"
B *deep breathing*

B: "You are a fabo wife!"

B: "mumble....  YEP.... OKAY.... CHEVY!"
H:  hahahahahaha
B: (wakes up) Don't laugh at me, I know what I said... I said Chevy"

... that's all I can remember right now, But I'm going to dig out my old phone, and add to this list later on.
