1336. It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'May Allâh have mercy on a man who gets up at night and prays, and wakes his
wife, and she prays; and if she refuses he sprinkles water in her face. And May Allāh have mercy on a woman who gets up at night and prays, and wakes her husband and he prays; and if he refuses, she sprinkles water in his face.''' (Hasan)

Commentary
a. If either the husband or the wife is used to praying Tahajjud, let him or her try to make the other also used to doing it.
b. If one is feeling too sleepy, a sprinkle of water will make getting up easy, so that he or she performs ablution and prays. The idea is that neither of the couple should remain deprived of this virtuous act.
