Feeling a bit stupid. A bit sensitive.

I went to bed well after midnight, Angus wasn't tired. I slept, but woke frequently to the sound of his videos, and then more recently had a nightmare then was roused by the sound of his keyboard.

He then came straight to bed and went straight to sleep, with me wide awake at four in the morning. When he asked me what the time was, he lied to me and said half two or three. I'm not an idiot, even after sleep I know roughly what time it was. Eventually he did go "it's closer to four. Half two or three is just when I looked at the clock last, which was a while ago". No shit it was a while ago - it was roughly the time the last time I'd woken up and asked.

Nightmares aren't pleasant and I'd have liked to talk about it but he waited five minutes before putting in his podcast and dropping off the edge of sleep cliff.
So basically, he's worn himself out, keeping me from a good night's sleep in the process, but now that he's tired it's straight off to bed and I can just deal with it.

That kind of annoys me but in reality what am I meant to do, keep him up? I asked him to come to bed several times during the night, and was told at first, just half an hour.

I have to write 5000 words this weekend, and have no doubt in my mind he'll sleep in til eleven or so because he stayed up so late. It's easy to stay up late when you're staring at a screen. But it's a choice. And that keyboard is LOUD.

So he'll sleep in, and I'll have to write my two essays on five hours sleep. Awesome.

But what can I do? Since I woke up, I'm wide awake.

I miss having my own space.

Right now, I want to go out and be somewhere else. But where would I go? What would I do?

I don't want to keep him up either - that would be vindictive, selfish. But I'm awake because of his actions, and now I want to do things.

Not sure what to do without waking him. He's entitled to sleep just as much as I am. Cross stitch patterns maybe?
