Sleep Talking

Shane's conditioned me. I can't go to sleep before 11 PM anymore.

That's when he talks in his sleep. 

It's not every day, and it's not nightmares like before. I've heard, "....mumble mumble...mumble....angry birds."

He's called out a few times, though. And each morning after, I check in and Shane has no memory of anything. 

Still, I listen. If Shane calls for help or cries out, I say "hello," he goes back to sleep, and I leave the room. Come dawn, it's like nothing ever happened.

Excluding I'm an hour or two short on sleep when Shane bounds in at 7 AM, at least. The dreams occur several nights a week at most, but my ears are on alert all seven..
