My husband actually works 2nd shift. So he doesn't get home from work until around 2am. I suffer from insomnia, so I am also a night owl. I would say that most nights I'm still awake when DH gets home from work.

Our oldest is not a night owl. Asleep by 8pm and up by 7am. The littlest one, usually sleeps from 10pm to 9am (waking up to nurse still), this past weekend our oldest stayed at his Grandma's house and it was fantastic. The rest of us rolled out of bed at 10:30 am

DH and I are definitely night owls, C is absolutely not. She likes to go to bed early and she's a morning person.

@mrbee: Thanks for that link! May need to get DH to read it while he is home on Paternity Leave! It's so hard to convince him he needs to change his lifelong pattern though, especially since he typically works past 9pm every night. So if we don't stay up together, we don't get that much time together. I think he will be in for a rude and shocking change once his sleeping in past noon on weekend days are over.

Neither of us are night owls. We're usually in bed between 9 and 10.

@mrbee: Sounds just like my hubby!

Very interesting! My husband and I sure don't sleep early, that's for sure! We get to bed closer to midnight most nights. It's terrible. Our boys goes to bed between 9-10:30 PM depending on the evening. But they also wake up later (8-9AM) which works okay for me. My 3-year-old's preschool doesn't' start until 9:30 AM anyway and they aren't strict about drop off so we usually roll in between 9:30-9:45AM. Kind of bad but, I swear, my son always seems to find a way for us to be late - no matter how early I start getting us ready to leave the house. Anyway, so I guess our kids are just like us too!

@shopaholic: we're in the same boat; dh's Job has only fueled out night owlyness. He works past 10 3x a week.

Yes and I have been since I was a little girl. I totally get it from my mom. She still will stay up until 7am and then sleep until mid afternoon.

I go to bed between 12-2am. It's been hard as lately DS is waking up 3x from 2-6am so essentially I've been getting no sleep. He's not a night owl but also not early morning- he'll sleep 7:30pm to 8am.

I am a night owl (I also work night shift!). DH is NOT a night owl and loves to get up early. DS is somewhat of a night owl and DD hasn't decided yet
