Spouse/SO Sleeping Arrangements

[Lewski709]

What are they?

 

[buzzlady]

I had to vote for different times - together. My DH works nights so when he's working, I'm sleeping and when he's sleeping I'm DISing!!

We usally got to bed at the same time, but DH is always asleep first.

I voted different times, together...NC Beast works 4 nights so the other three we go together and the other days-well, it depends . That is all you need to know.

 

[browneyes]

Different times.

 

[monkeyboy]

Depends on what's on TV

When my hunny is over (or me over there)..........we go to bed at the same time together, although, I try to make sure I fall asleep FIRST because he snores so and I have a hard time falling asleep while he is sawing logs!!

Different times, same bed.

DH needs something like 23 hours of sleep a night, while i get by on 8.

I can count on one hand the times we've gone to bed at different times. We have some of our best conversations just before falling off to sleep. Sometimes that's the only time we really get to talk. I would hate it if we went to bed at different times. I guess it's what you get used to.

Depends. I usually go to bed first because he snores and I can't sleep at all if he falls asleep first. Sometimes it wakes me up in the middle of the night and I go and sleep in the living room if I need to get good rest.

My bf and I have our own seperate bedrooms. Lately though, I've been sleeping on the couch because my bed has been bothering my back. I'm usually asleep between 10:30-12, he goes to bed around 12-2.

We are pretty much the same times except I go to bed a couple hours before DH and I get up an hour before him.

Boy that sounds familiar!!

Also, for 4 years DH was on really odd schedules....like working nights or if working days, had to get up at 3:45 to be to work on time....so he goes to bed pretty early! Now his schedule's a little more normal, but he still goes before me....usually around 10 or 11 depending on when he has to be in the office the next day...

But I'm a real night-owl (I often cross paths with Danauk on the TAG in the wee hours) so I just can't go when he does. I can't fall asleep much before midnight and just toss and turn and keep him awake.... Plus, the kids don't let me DIS much during the day (or do much else for myself) so after their bedtime is MY time.....and I like to make the most of it to do projects, relax, watch TV, whatever...

Depends on our work schedules. If it all works out, we prefer going to bed together. That way one of us doesn't get all warm and then have a cold person sneak into bed.

 

[daughter_of_amid_chaos]

Ok i couldn't vote because we are a mixture of all of them lol

During the week my boyfriend and I live 45 minutes apart while I am at school and he is home and working so then we go to bed at different times in different beds.

On the weekends when we are together it is the same time and the same bed.

This was one of the things that bothered me the most about my marriage. Even though he knew how important it was to me, he just didn't care. Sleeping together at the same time just wasn't important to him. I shouldn't have been surprised - he is also the man that wouldn't spend one Friday night a month with me. I asked about a year before he left and he told me "no". I am so glad he is gone!!

Different times, together.

Different times, same bed. DH takes a long time to wind down, so he is usually about 30 minutes to an hour after me. Plus, I have to get in bed before the doggies, or they'll take up all the room! This way, they're on his side!

 

[gallaj0]

Usually the same time, but not always; DW likes to fall asleep on the couch, anc dosen't always get up to bed whn I do.
Of course this week is way off; she's in Ohio someplace for work, so I'm playing Mr. Mom all week.

 

[Shugardrawers]

DH usually goes to bed first with me following anywhere from 1 hour to 4 hours later. He has to be up at 4am where my job is pretty flexible and I can basically show up when I please. Being a night owl it's a darn good thing too!
