Spouse who doesn't sleep enough and then

can't keep his eyes open when we talk...and admits he drifts off at work sometimes when it's a little slow :( We have a toddler who gets up at night (to pee, nightmares, whatever) and so he goes to help or console her. I told her I'm going to go because he can't keep sleeping or closing his eyes. We should be able to have a conversation, sitting down, without him closing his eyes. I'm pregnant and he says "You need your rest, you're going to be too tired if you have to get up" etc. He says he just gets tired and needs to close his eyes if he's sitting and not doing anything. That if he is up and moving, no problem otherwise it's just the way he is. What can I do? I said let me get up at night, I don't know if he'll let me take over so he can rest but otherwise what other options are there? It affects our communication when conversations get side-tracked and dismantled because it's back to bickering about this issue. The other part that bothers me about this is that when I call him out on it or get annoyed he raises his voice at reacts/kind of yells. Today we were out in public and I said can you please stop closing your eyes, this is ridiculous etc and he kind of raised his voice like, "you don't understand, I have nothing to do here [at a coffee shop]" ...he apologized later for raising his voice but I'm getting tired of it.
