Yeah right, Anne thought as she pretended to fall asleep, while her husband, Ed, continued to complete the survey.

@vande,
Van I would have omitted the last three commas

I'm not sure you need "to complete" either

There's some controversy about locating that first comma. Your placement is maybe technically more logical, but usu it would come before the quote

…though I might eliminate it altogether
