Go to bed with your spouse?

I sleep in the bedroom he sleeps on the couch.

on the night. A lot of the time one of us winds up in bed first. The other usually follows shortly there after. We both like to watch TV in bed, so that's why we usually end up together.

He wakes up really early so he goes first to bed and read for a bit so this give me time to go do “my bedtime routine” and when I am finish I go to bed and read… for around 30 minutes and than we close the light and pray. It's sure nice to have your husband sleeping with you at the same time.

For some reason, with my husbands schedule he is tired! Wakes up at 330-400 am for chores and then to work he goes. So come the end of the day he is tired and will normally fall asleep in the recliner in the living room. I normally head to bed sooner than he does. If he comes to bed to sleep at nine he is up by midnight and can't sleep. If he falls asleep in the recliner and heads to be after the news he is ok. I enjoy doing some hand sewing/crocheting/reading before I turn out the lights and can do this in bed. If I stay up in the lr too watch tv he falls asleep anyways so I prefer just to head to bed by myself.
It was nice many years ago to head to bed together, but we now have three kids, a farm and busy work schedules. We catch up with each other at different times. We also have a six year old that likes to fall asleep in our bed, so my hubby gets tired of moving him to his own bed when he comes up late. There will be a time when the six year old dosesn't want to visit with us!

I'm the early riser, he's the night owl so it is very rare acutally that we go to bed together, we always end up there though. Now, it can often change too, he sometimes doesn't sleep well and get's up in the middle of the night and ends up on the couch. Lately I'm the one on the couch, broke my collar bone 2weeks ago and can't lay in bed. God I can't wait to go back to my bed.

I'm always up late working, but we do like to go to bed together, so he usually falls asleep on the couch.  I will wake him when I'm ready to go to bed, but sometimes I end up going to bed by myself because I can't get him off the couch!

Tonight, he said "Let's not work much tonight, and we'll just hang out and watch some tv."  Ok, sounds like a plan.  He just put the baby to bed as I finished pumping, and I headed to the couch at 9:27 and he's already dozing off!!!  So much for that! :)

My husband has to get up earlier than me so he goes to bed around 8:00 p.m. I'm typically up until 11:00, straightening up, cleaning, laundry, and having some me time. When he has the next day off we go to bed together. I try to stay up and wait for him when he works overtime but if I have to work the next morning, I'll go to bed. That doesn't work out so well because he is soooo noisy when he comes to bed. Sits on the bed to get undressed (which feels like he's bouncing), turns on his light and reads, plays with the ring tones on his cell phone, and has even eaten snacks while I'm trying to sleep! I have had several one sided conversations with him about bedroom manners but it hasn't sunk in yet.

My husband has 2 jobs and he gets up at 3 am. He usually falls asleep on the couch after supper and goes up to bed at 8pm. I meanwhile put the kids to bed, give them their medicine, wash dishes, do some work on the computer for my home business, and straighten up the house. I don't ususally go to sleep until 2:30 am. (one, after the kids are in bed it's me time. two, I have a condition that goes thru cycles. The first cycle is that I will go to bed and fall asleep right away. The second cycle is where I am tired but can't fall asleep so sometimes I will get by on 2hrs of sleep).
