Can't freaking sleep!

I've been sick with a cold the past few days, and AH has not let me sleep at all.

It's a regular occurrence in our home for him to violently shake me awake if he's having nightmares, is high and stumbling, has low blood oxygen or wakes up confused. He has a TBI, and is supposed to sleep with a BiPap mask at night, but the most frequent awakenings are when he falls asleep on the couch without his mask on.

I've tried all sorts of tactics to get him to come to bed consistently and wear his mask, but nothing has worked.

I'm resorting to putting a lock on the bedroom door tonight, or debating if I should go to a hotel room. What do you think a good short term solution is?

I'm working through longer term solutions to this problem currently and aren't ready to make a decision about it yet.
