This Just In ...

Kevin Fischer is a veteran broadcaster, the recipient of over 150 major journalism awards from the Milwaukee Press Club, the Wisconsin Associated Press, the Northwest Broadcast News Association, the Wisconsin Bar Association, and others. He has been seen and heard on Milwaukee TV and radio stations for over three decades. A longtime aide to state Senate Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature, Kevin can be seen offering his views on the news on the public affairs program, "InterCHANGE," on Milwaukee Public Television Channel 10, and heard filling in on Newstalk 1130 WISN. He lives with his wife, Jennifer, and their lovely baby daughter, Kyla Audrey, in Franklin.

Married couples in bed: Can't we just all get along?


Discussed today during my fill-in at Newstalk 1130 WISN:

“Rochelle Thomas has gotten so fed up with her husband's snoring over the years that she's created a ‘three strikes rule.’ Each time he wakes her up with his snorts, honks or shudders—shaking the mattress ‘like a cheap motel-bed vibrator’—she gives him a penalty.

Strike one: A nudge.

Strike two: A shove or kick.|

Strike three: He's out—of the bed and down the hall to the guest room.

‘It prevents anger in the morning from lack of sleep,’ says Ms. Thomas, a sales representative from La Mirada, Calif. ‘And I think it just may have saved his life, because I am sure I would have killed him by now.’

Is it any wonder, then, that almost one in four couples sleeps in separate beds or bedrooms, according to the National Sleep Foundation.”
