Dear Prudence,
My boyfriend has a habit of falling asleep while we’re together. It’s like clockwork: We get together after work, we start a movie or TV show, and within an hour he’s out cold. He resists any attempt to keep him awake or wake him up once he’s asleep, and insists that I leave him be. I usually end up waiting one or two hours for him to wake up on his own. By the time he does, it’s so late that we have to go to bed anyway. This happens on average three or four nights of the week.

I’ve tried my best to be understanding, but over the past several years it’s started to wear on me, and I recently began expressing my frustration to him. He feels that it is unfair of me to be upset over something he cannot control. I told him that I would rather spend our evenings separately if he’s just going to fall asleep (we don’t live together). This upsets him because he feels like I’m punishing him for not being able to stay awake. In my view, though, I don’t feel like we’re really spending time together if one of us is snoring on the couch for most of the night. We are at an impasse. I love him dearly and I want to marry this man, but I dread the idea of sitting in front of the TV next to his sleeping body every night for the rest of our lives.

「そんな風にあなたの彼氏は週に３、４回一緒にでかけてから１時間で眠っちゃうのね？」

So は前に説明されたことを受けて、文頭に副詞として置いているので、訳し方は文の流れでいろいろ考えられます。an hour into hanging out は、下記の例が感覚的にわかりやすいのかと思います。

「お出かけが始まって一時間で」

>What’s going on with his sleep schedule that this is happening so often?はなぜthat節がとれるのでしょうか？thatの役割について教えてください。よろしくお願いします

that 節はhis sleep schedule の同格と思います。
「”そんなにしょっちゅうそれが起こっている彼の睡眠スケジュール”に何が起こっているのでしょう？」つまり、
そんなことがたびたびあるってことは彼の睡眠に何かそうなる原因か問題があるんじゃないの？と言うようなことを言っているのだと思います。

お礼
