The Husband's Quality of Sleep

When I'm in bed in the nights, sometimes I turn on the iPad to watch shitty dramas or b-grade films or to read. It's supposedly a terrible habit. It does interfere with me getting the nine hours of sleep I need, but whatever. The husband grumbles that the light emanating from the iPad is too bright. 

On nights that he isn't wearing a sleep mask, I put up a wall of pillow and duvet, and shimmy under to read/watch my things. Choya sleeps in her own room and also wanders over to sleep in the bathroom. The light from my iPad doesn't bother her at her. 

So Ryo is on a staycation with us these few weeks. He has long chosen his sleeping spots, and has merrily stuck to sleeping with us in the bedroom. He sleeps in his three comfy corners in the room, keeping quiet and never disturbing us. Unless he's borking (like one growl or a bark) at Choya when she's trying to get up on the bed or wake me up because, rain apocalypse. Ryo disapproves of that. LOL

That first night when Ryo came over and bedtime rolled around, I slipped under the covers, checked the my social media feeds for a final update and the last few texts, and announced I was going to sleep.

Me: Good night, husband. 

Husband: Are you super tired tonight? Off to bed straight? No iPad? There's nothing for you to watch?

Me: Nope. Don't want to watch or read. The light would disturb Ryo's quality of sleep. No iPad when Ryo's here.

(Eyes were closed and I wasn't even thinking much of it when I replied.)

Husband: !!!

("And it doesn't disturb mine?") 

He was completely indignant.
