Does this imply sitting on the couch? Or other posture that is more vertical than your bed?
If so (and especially if your wife says you snore), you may want to investigate the possibility of obstructive sleep apnea. Changes in position can affect how you breath when fully relaxed (asleep), and sleeping horizontally can be much worse than sitting/reclining. If this is producing a significant change in sleep quality, getting a sleep study is easy and would be very informative.
This is just a guess, of course. Kids are notorious for making sleep-deprived parents.

//for me, sleeping in a reclining position helped that more than CPAP or surgery
- electromagnetic 12y agoIt's not sleep apnea, I say snoring but it's actually a groan I do whilst making ridiculously long exhales. I have a very low breathing rate and heart rate, which plummet when sleeping. I lost 80 lbs and it didn't lessen up at all. I've apparently being doing it since I was a child and my son occasionally does it too!
