Oh to be a man

Helena has been a great sleeper- we've been VERY lucky. I won't get into details because the non-sleeper's parents out there will be at our door with pitch forks by morning.

For whatever reason, over the last couple months, Helena has decided to get up earlier and earlier. I would hardly call it a night waking because it's usually at like 4 or 5 am. This morning it was at 4:30AM. So at 7:30AM when she stirred again, Denver and I had, what has become, our typical morning exchange.

"Wow, she did great sleeping last night."

"Huh?"

"She slept like 12 hours."

"No, YOU slept like 12 hours."

"Oh."

"Right."

Discussion questions:

a) How does he not hear her?
b) How does he not hear me 1) get out of bed to get her and 2) get back into bed afterward?
c) Why is he still so tired after a night of undisturbed sleep?
