Sleeping arrangements

It's 4am and my husband is next to me snoring. He ate something garlicky and his breath has been giving me a headache all night. It is at these moments I long for my own room and my own bed. Every night I beg him to turn the other way because he snore ore n his left side, plus the sound is closer to my ears.

My nightly ritual is my silent hell. 

Now I wait to get sleepy again. Which is usually after he goes to work. He wonders why I sleep in some mornings. Well....

It sounds so hateful to say, "because your breath was making me sick and your snores kept me awake. I finally got a deep rem sleep with you at work."
