I wish I had my husband's sleeping habits.

We crawl into bed at night, and about a minute after we stop talking, a series of events take place.

While I am lying there, trying to fall asleep, Mr. Air Force's breathing pattern changes. He begins exhaling with a lot of force (imagine an angry bull blowing steam).

Soon, it's as if he is working out or running in his sleep.
Different parts of his body begin flexing. His arms, his hands, his back and legs. Sometimes his feet will even move as though he really were running in his sleep (you know, like puppies sometimes do).

If, at any point during this nightly ritual, I move the slightest bit, he jolts awake and says,
"HUH? What? What'd you say??"
"I didn't say anything honey. I just moved."
"Oh... oka---zzzz.....*twitch*"

Occassionally, we will both randomly wake up and talk a little bit during the night. Sometimes he remembers it, sometimes he doesn't. Sometimes, it is obvious that he is just sleep talking.

I remember he talked in his sleep a lot right after we got married.

Him: "mumble-mumble.... UGH.."
Me: "Hmm? What'd you say?"
Him: "Ugh.. Nevermind. You don't get it."
Me: He's got that right.

Then there was the night right after we had seen Star Trek at the movies.

Him: "SO... (he often starts out conversations with this word).. mumble-mumble"
Me: "Huh?... So.. what?"
Him: "mumble.... Vulcan!"
Me: "Honey.... go back to sleep.. ugh"

Apparently, he really liked Star Trek, and was still trying to explain to me in his sleep about Spock's home-planet.

After all this, you might be wondering why I would want his sleeping habits.
It's simple. He falls asleep in less than a minute, and then sleeps hard all night long.

I'd kill to not lay awake for an hour or more, thinking about a million things at once.
