You crack me up, Bob.
No room in the LR for a bed.  It would not help as furthest room is the 
bathroom at 30 ft away.  The far bedroom, DD's old room, has no bed at 
present as we are remodeling.  I could take a sleeping bag in there, but 
I am not sure I would sleep any better.  Ironically, even with all the 
problems, I sleep better in the same room with him.
The kids know about the problem, wouldn't be any big deal...in fact DD 
is also very worried as she has seen the narcolepsy, too.  Lynn, while 
this problem, both the lack of sleep and the daytime narcolepsy isn't 
helping the marriage, I don't think a divorce is warranted just yet. ;)
DH and I have always been opposite sleepers, too.  He goes to bed early, 
in the quiet, no noise, and I go to bed late, preferably with a radio so 
I don't think too much.   He sleeps on top of the cover, I am buried 
under it.  He sleeps diagonal, I sleep on the freakin edge.  I sleep 
with two pillow, he sleeps on one pillow, if that.  We are total 
opposites.  The reason we are remodeling is to join two small bedrooms 
into one.  Then, we will be able to have a king sized bed, something we 
had years ago in the city, but that we had to give up upon moving here. 
    With a king bed, I think we could peacefully and somniferously 
co-exist.
