Sleep Deprived

It goes without saying that I am a "night owl." However, it wasn't until last night, that I realized how tired I have been lately. All those late nights staying up playing on the internet, doing housework I should be doing during the day (but am too tired to deal with it), painting the office, watching movies, and just trying to savor my adult time, is definitely catching up with me.
Last night I popped in a movie, woke my husband up out of Rogan's bed to come and hang with me on the couch (even if he slept, at least I didn't feel alone), and watched some of the movie before I started dozing off. I would wake up, and get the feeling like, "Wait, did I miss something here?" Not realizing I had dozed off at all.
Then this morning...
I hear Laila calling Doug's name, simultaneously with the alarm going off. I instinctively kicked for Doug's leg to wake him, but instead kicked the back of the couch. I was utterly confused. I laid there for a second trying to get my bearings, as I heard Laila continue to call. Then I heard traffic outside (which only happens in the morning and late afternoon). It finally hit me that I had zonked out on the couch the entire night! I was still in my clothes and contacts. I jumped up, and ran into the bedroom to wake Doug, and he was passed out on the bed in his clothes, on top of the covers, as the alarm was going off.
I think we both need more sleep here! Maybe since there are lots of guests coming, and we won't have a place to hang out late because they will be sleeping in all rooms, we will be forced into early bed. Probably a good thing, as we definitely are sleep deprived!
