He is sleeping even though he has so much to do!!!

Ok, my boyfriend (sober 49 day, myself 50) is sleeping all the time. He gets up only to go to court (he is an attorney). There are things that need to have his attention and he is waiting to the last minute and therefore, when he finally gets the work done, I am rushing to type it up. Also, there are numerous things around the house that need to be done but he is not willing to help.

I know he is worried about finances and work (very slow right now) but staying in bed is not helping, right?

I am trying not to be controlling over this but it is so hard because it effects me having to rush and get things done at the last minute because he procrastinated.

How can I get him to realize this without as he says "making him feel guilty."

He also says that I am resentful, perhaps I am but I feel very pressured myself. I realize that I have to work on my own sobriety and self and he has to work on his own.

Should I talk to his sponsor?
