My idiot of a boyfriend decided to go and apply for a security guard position. Well that's all great, except he didn't even bother to ask me! Yeah, go ahead and say that it's his business and all that crap, but if it's a life-changing decision that we have to make, we always, ALWAYS talk it out! And again, he didn't bother. We're a team (at least we're supposed to be), and when one member doesn't know what's going on, the whole team is screwed.
With this job, he'll be working from 1am to 7am. Here's the problem. Did you know that your body requires 6 to 8 hours of sleep straight every night in order to function properly? You need those because of your rhythms of sleep your body goes through every night. When you sleep, you dive into Stage 3 and 4 of NREM (non-rapid eye movement) and it's followed by REM (rapid eye movement). You go through I believe 4 or 5 cycles of this in a 7 hour period. He thinks he can get away with getting some sleep for 3 or 4 hours, get up, and then when I leave, go back to sleep until I'm done with work. Yeah right! He says that he often needs 10 hours of sleep. He says he can do it, and while I have faith in him that he can do anything, messing with your body's natural sleep system wrecks everything in your life. And that will include our relationship.
