I've heard that going to bed at the same time as your SO is one thing you can do to maintain a happy relationship. I try to go to bed at the same time as my DH, do you?
-
Yep. We go to be at the same time every night. He usually falls asleep before me and I read in bed.
-
95% of the time we do. I love it. I feel like we sleep together and not just share a bed.
-
Noooo! Haha
he falls asleep so fast then starts snoring lightly and it bothers me so I can't sleep. We are both better off going to bed at different times!ETA but he does tuck me in every night so we spend a little time together before I go to sleep
-
Yes! Since he is gone 3 nights a week, then another night he gets home after I am asleep, we like going to bed together when we can.
-
No, and it drives me crazy.
-
Nope! Half the time he sleeps on the couch because of his snoring. In our house, a well rested wife does better for our relationship than going to bed at the same time.
-
@Bao: DH used to tuck me in every night, I miss it sooooo much!
I require about twice the sleep that DH does and he studies after I go to sleep so we don't get to spend much time together in the evenings.
-
Yep!
-
We go to bed at the same time every night.
-
Never ever ever ever ever. DH hates it. It was one of those things i always imagined being married would include, but it is not part of ours.
And since our mattress is so bad, we sleep in separate rooms.
Recipe for success over here!
-
we go to bed at the same time every night. he tucks me in and kisses me goodnight, it's my favorite time of day
-
Almost always. But lately, I'm going to bed so early that he's not ready to, which is totally understandable.
-
No, he is usually still working
-
For the most part, yes. We bed share, and like to go to bed, as a family. Occasionally, I'll take the baby in a little earlier while he finishes up a show, in the living room. After our daughter is out, we'll read, or Netflix something, together.
-
We do, but I usually read for a bit before actually going to sleep.
-
We veerrrry rarely not go go bed at the same time! We love the. Few min of cuddling and quietness.
-
We usually go to bed together, and I enjoy the snuggles! But, if one of us wants to go to sleep earlier/stay up later, it's no biggie and it doesn't happen too often anyway.
-
I'd say we go to bed together around 90% of the time. There are days where I'm exhausted and I go to bed before him, but we both prefer going to bed at the same time.
-
A majority of the time we do. I usually read for a bit and he will either just go to sleep or watch a few minutes of tv.
I've been so tired lately and going to bed super early, so I understand that he isn't ready to come to bed.
-
Always during the week. But if it's a weeekend.. he stays up much later! He is a night owl for sure.
-
DH likes to go to bed with me, but I go to sleep way early for his tastes. He usually stays up an hour or two after I am in bed. Works for us.
-
we used to! Until we had our little horrible sleeper. Somehow, this past month or so, we've gotten in the bad habit (or maybe good, because at least we get some sleep) of one of us sleeping in the nursery with LO so the other can actually sleep. We have a queen bed in her room, and it's just easier for us to be near for her MANY wakeups.
-
He is usually up late working when I go to bed, which is fine by me - I fall asleep better when there is no one else in the bed. I like my space and I like to toss and turn.
-
We go to bed at the same time unless he has to work super late...which is maybe a few times a month
-
@BabyJMama: We're in a similar situation. I can't wait until we are both done with school (in a few more years, blah!).
-
No because of his work schedule. Just sometimes if he is off. But I wish we did.
-
I need way more sleep than DH, so I usually go to bed earlier than him. About half the time, he will come with and watch tv on his iPad for awhile.
-
We usually go into bed at about the same time but I go to sleep earlier while he watches a couple episodes on Netflix.
-
95% of the time, unless one of us is sick or had too many drinks and went down early. We like to cuddle and talk about the best parts of our day, which I think helps me sleep better because I fall asleep thinking about happy things instead of stressed about something.
-
Can't go to bed without him
-
I try, but he's been on ridiculous work hours lately so he's been having to get up at 1:45 am to get to work for 3:00. Because of that, he goes to bed around 6:30/7:00 pm. I just can't go to bed that early, aside from the fact that our toddler isn't even in bed at that time!
I miss going to bed at the same time as DH, especially our bedtime chats.
Fortunately, he's transitioning back to normal hours with a 4:45 am wake up so we'll start going to bed together again. I really do find we're more connected when we have that wind down time together!
-
YES. It is a big priority for us. I think I can count on 2 hands how many times I've gone to bed before/after him in our almost 4yrs of marriage.
*that doesn't count when he's out of town for work! -
No, it's not really something we make a big deal about. We each just go to bed when we feel like it. If it happens to be at the same time, great...if not, no big deal.
-
We do on the weekends but during the week he goes to bed before me. I like to stay up another hour or so unwinding and doing some writing work.
-
Yes and no! Most nights, we take the baby to bed together (he sleeps in our bed.) My husband changes him, puts on his sleep clothes, and gives him his vitamin while I get ready for bed. Then we read to him or cuddle. Then I nurse him to sleep while DH goes and unwinds for a while. By the time he comes to bed, we're often asleep. This routine works for us for now, but it obviously won't last forever.
-
We can't because he is still at work.
-
Most of the time we go to bed at the same time. three nights a week he doesn't get home until 10:45pm, so if I work the next morning or have class, then I might go to bed before he gets home.
-
DH stays up waaay later than I do. When I am off the next day I try to stay up later and beg him to come to bed slightly earlier with me, but normally I go to bed and he tucks me in then goes about his evening.
-
We used to! But he turns in early on the weeknights (I'm talking 8pm) & so after dinner clean-up, showering, pumping & a few minutes of quiet usually keep me up past then....I really miss the days when we went to bed together.
he falls asleep so fast then starts snoring lightly and it bothers me so I can't sleep. We are both better off going to bed at different times!
