S/O Monday Morning Poll: Bedtimes

Do you and your H have a routine?  Do you go to bed at the same time each night or does it fluctuate?  Do you always go to bed together or does one of you go to bed earlier than the other?

 

We have almost always gone to bed together, but we don't have a 'bedtime' really.  Whenever someone gets tired, we'll head into the bedroom, together.  If the other one of us isn't really tired yet, we have a TV in there, or we'll read, or H will try to get some work done.  But we almost always will go to bed together. Obviously there are some exceptions, but for the most part, this is our normal.

This is new to me (or was, 3 years ago, when we moved in, haha).  With my past relationships, we wouldn't go to bed together, but when one person got tired, they would go to bed, and the other person would join them when they were ready. I never pictured going to bed at the same time as my SO...  I'm not sure why, but with H,  I'm glad we do it.  I really enjoy our moments of quiet before one of us falls asleep.  :)

Re: S/O Monday Morning Poll: Bedtimes

  • H and I pretty much always go to bed around the same time during the week.. .about 10:30-11'ish. We do have an evening routine... which makes us seem kinda old but it works for us. H usually takes the dog out to pee, while I check his food and water for the night.. then we meet in bed. haha

     Before I moved in H would be up till all hours of the night... but now he likes coming to bed with me.. i'm usually the one to initiate the going to bed. The odd time i'll go to bed and he just really won't be ready, so he'll stay up and read or do whatever he was doing.

     On the weekend, it's pretty much just whenever one of us gets tired... then we both go to bed. I love going to bed with H... we have the best conversations in bed.. we have since the beginning... just the 2 of us.. no distractions... it's great.

  • My situation is a little bit different. H is a fire fighter so we are apart 2 nights per week (more if he takes overtime). We've lived together for 3 years now and on our nights at home, we have always gone to bed at the same time. Like PP, when one of us gets tired we both head into the bedroom for the night.

  • H and I go to bed at the same time. I usually fall asleep on the couch first but we go to bed together and we are usually in bed by about 10:30. I really like to sleep :)

    H and I will almost always go to bed together, like 99.99% of the time. Whenever one of us is tired, the other will go to bed. We'll usually watch tv, read a book, or talk for a little bit and then go to sleep. 

    On rare occasions, I'll have to get up for work absurdly early, and I'll be in bed by 9p.m.  On those nights, H will stay up and just come to bed later.  He always kisses me goodnight though.... even if I don't know it <3

  • We always go to bed together too. Usually between 10 and 11. H works, I don't, but not only do I go to bed with him, I usually am the one to make sure he gets to bed on time, because if he doesn't get enough sleep, he always regrets it the next day, and usually I'll end up regretting it too! I thought we were weird in going to bed together, I know both of our parents don't, but it's interesting to see that we are not alone.

    We both go to bed around 10-11 during the week. We always go to bed at the same time now. When we first started our jobs, H would stay out on the couch for awhile, and when he would come in I would always wake up, and then couldn't go back to sleep.. so now he has to go to sleep with me! Plus, I really enjoy the time right before we fall asleep, where we just talk awhile and cuddle :)

  • We usually go to bed together...H is a night owl, but gets up for work at 5:30am so has started having to go to bed earlier by necessity. I just get really tired if I don't nap (and napping and working don't really go together) so we are usually in bed before 10. The odd time H will go to bed before me, but usually I am the one wanting to go to bed first and he will come because he knows he 'should'.
  • For the most part we go into the bedroom around the same time, but typically DH falls asleep before me and I either am on my laptop or playing games on my phone because it helps me "wind down" for some reason. When DH lays his head on the pillow to go to sleep he is out like a light in 5 mins and it takes me a little bit longer to fall alseep. Some nights he goes before me and is sleeping when I come to bed. I guess I like the nights where we go around the same time.
