We do 99.9% of the time.
Only if I have a headache or am extra tired will I go to bed earlier. During the week I always wait for DH to get home from work.
Tonight though I could tell DH was waiting for me to go to bed, so I told him to just go. It's so weird, he never goes to bed before me!
But we don't make it a habit. We normally always go to bed together.

We try to, but I'm normally settled in bed a good 5 minutes before him. It all evens out though because I read for quite a while, usually long after he's snoring.

Nope. I get up earlier for work. So he stays up way later than I do. Sometimes, we'll go to bed at the same time. Usually on the weekends when I stay up.

@Mrsdaredevil: You're early birds! We go to bed between 11pm-12am every night. It doesn't help that DH isn't off work until 10pm three nights a week, so he's not home until 10:15-10:30.

@Coco Bee: we have the opposite schedule! My DH has to wake up for work at 3:30 a.m., but is home by 2 in the afternoon every day. I just go to bed early with him because I am up multiple times a night with LO. 
I couldn't imagine DH getting home so late. I love our dinners together!

@Mrsdaredevil: Yeah it's rough. But it comes with some perks, like the fact that he gets Friday's off of work. Wednesdays he doesn't go in until noon, and the other days he starts at 9 or 10. So he's actually a big help with night wakings.

We do. I go to bed when my husband is ready. It's usually before 10. If I'm not tired yet I'll read a book or something.

Always. Once in a while I'll be up late working on something, and my husband will try to go to bed without me, but it's very hard for him to fall asleep that way. We have a routine we go through together getting ready for bed and getting the dogs rounded up into bed with us, and we turn out the lights together every night. Usually between 11:30-12:30; we try for closer to 11:30 but typically slide later.

Yes 99.9% of the time...only exception is when he is working on something and it's super late...especially when LO was really little and woke up for a middle of the night feeding but she hasn't done that for a long time so I usually wait up for him bc I have a hard time falling asleep without him.

We usually do unless he needs to stay up to adjust his sleep schedule for an upcoming shift.

Most of the time. I go to bed earlier when I'm super tired.

Rarely. He requires less sleep than I do and he doesnt like to come to bed unless he is ready for sleep (I.e. he wont come to bed and just read for awhile).

Most of the time, yes, we go to sleep together. If I am really tired, I go to bed right after we put our son down (7 pm, usually).

Nope, we never really have either. I used to go to bed first and read until I fell asleep or he came to bed. Especially during pregnancy, I would pass out so early!
Now since I am mostly home and my work schedule is so flexible I usually go to bed around midnight and he is passed out by 11ish. Once the baby is down it gives me a few hours to get some work done.

we hang out in bed before we go to sleep, so sometimes one of us will fall asleep earlier than the other, but we usually go to bed at the same time. if he is working late, i might watch a movie in bed while i wait for him to come home. i can't fall asleep if i know he's going to be coming to bed, i startle really badly and if i get woken up like that i won't sleep for the rest of the night.

My husband had to start getting up at 4:30 am for some of his rotations and I just couldn't get myself settled by 9 pm. So I'd get ready for bed and we'd hang out for a bit but then once he settled to sleep I came down and got some stuff done while him and baby were asleep. But if he goes to bed at 10 pm or later then I usually go to bed then too.

Sometimes. DH is more of a night owl and I like to be in bed early. However since we've had our LO we both go to bed at the same time now.

Nope. I work 9-6 and DH works all sorts of hours. He covers high school sports for a daily newspaper so he's usually sleeping in until 11 and up until 4 a.m. I kind of hate not going to bed at the same time as him, but whatever.
