Silly_Girl Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 I've cohabited with 3 men. It occurred to me this evening that generally we would go to bed at the same time. If we didn't, it was rare and there was a reason. I really like going to bed together. Especially as I don't really watch TV, so we talk or read but aren't sitting spaced out in front of moving wallpaper. I'm quite a couple-y person though, I bet some people really enjoy staggered bedtimes for peace/space/control of the remote. What do you guys do, and do you like it? 3

What do you guys do, and do you like it? bed time didnt mean necessarily sleep, it was where we could be close and talk, and be able to be alone, with five kids we always had soemoen crash tackling us, i got bored with tv.....i actually find it hard to fall asleep and he of course would as soon as he ...well you know...want to go to sleep he would talk half asleep for a while.......those conversations were funny......i could basically get him to say yes to everything and they were quite imaginative...........deb

I am a night owl and my husband is an early bird, so outside of work nights we never go to bed at the same time.
xxoo Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 We go to bed at the same time. At times when we were on different schedules, I would accompany him to bed when he went to bed, we'd talk/cuddle/have sex, and then I'd get back up after he was asleep. 5

My wife does the same thing. One of our family jokes is that I should have been a farmer, usually fall asleep early and wake up early. Like you, she'll go to bed with me and then get back up. I rarely hear her get out of bed ... Mr. Lucky

Woggle Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Most of the time no but nothing wakes her up so I am okay climbing into bed with her while she is asleep. We have two alarm clocks for this very reason.
Els Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 We go to bed at the same time. At times when we were on different schedules, I would accompany him to bed when he went to bed, we'd talk/cuddle/have sex, and then I'd get back up after he was asleep. Yup, pretty much this. Bf has to wake up at some crazy pre-dawn hour that I don't need to adhere to. So we go to bed together, but don't go to sleep at the same time. 1
Phoe Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 I've never cohabited with someone but I can imagine sleeping arrangements would take quite some getting used to. I am a very light sleeper and need specific conditions. Pitch black, very cold, and a fan on for white noise. If it's silent I go insane, but if there's a light on or a TV on I will never fall asleep. Sharing a bed with me would probably drive any sane man bonkers. lol
janedoe67 Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 I always go to bed first because I get up early. He snores...a lot...so if I am not asleep before him then I end up laying there for a long time and eventually going to the couch. We are often IN bed at the same time, but I fall asleep first, or at least try to.
jimmytwowheels Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Most of the time yes, we get to bed around the same time and like to talk etc. Sometimes our schedules don't allow for it though. What I found funny on the responses here was that a lot of people say they like to go to bed at the same time to have sex. Am I the only person that doesn't like having sex at night? I prefer afternoon delight, as I like seeing what I'm doing, and spontaneity is a huge turn on for both of us. the whole - it's night so it's time to have sex thing - does nothing for us.

Try that with 3 young kids and two full-time jobs !!! Mr. Lucky 2
Keenly Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 As a rabid insomniac, thats something I would never be able to do. I would happily cuddle til she fell asleep, or screw her into dream land, but I can't lay there for 3 hours waiting to fall asleep.

About a third of our sex is night-time. I really do prefer going to bed at the same time. Even if we're on different schedules we try to 'fit' as best we can. I resent the 2-3 times a week he can't be at home at bedtime due to work. 1

I'm quite a couple-y person though, I bet some people really enjoy staggered bedtimes for peace/space/control of the remote. What do you guys do, and do you like it? We almost always go to bed at the same time, although we often go to sleep at different times. I'm more of a night owl, he's more of a morning lark, so after we've kissed and cuddled and made love and snuggled, he'll fall asleep and I'll read, or work, or write, etc. in the morning, he'll wake before me and do some work until I wake, then it's time for more kissing and cuddling and making love and snuggling and then we'll get up. 1
Got it Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 I've never cohabited with someone but I can imagine sleeping arrangements would take quite some getting used to. I am a very light sleeper and need specific conditions. Pitch black, very cold, and a fan on for white noise. If it's silent I go insane, but if there's a light on or a TV on I will never fall asleep. Sharing a bed with me would probably drive any sane man bonkers. lol This is pretty much me and haven't had an issue with a man getting used to it. I love a fan on, temps no higher than 69, prefer 65, and darkness no TV. We tend to go to bed at the same time but not always as I am an early person and he is a night owl. Sometimes he "puts me to bed". I have worked on staying up later especially on weekends and he will concede on weeknights so I can get more than six hours of sleep.
