To ask what your bedtime routine with your partner/DH is like?

[CheapSausagesAndSpam]

What do you do? Do you go to bed together regularly? Do you sit together in bed and read? Watch TV?

I used to stay up much later than DH and he hated it...he always wanted me to go at the same time, which I wouldn't have minded if he'd been reading or whatever but no...he just wanted company!

Anyway...years later now and it's different again. He walks the dog and I go to bed at about 11...then I go online till he comes back...then we go to sleep/cuddle whatever!

I'm happy with it but I do sometimes think I'd quite like to watch a film in bed...but he's very much disturbed by the idea and thinks the sofa is the place for that!

We go to bed at the same time. He usually goes straight to sleep, I read my kindle for a bit then put my cpap mask on and go to sleep.

Go to bed at the same time mon- Fri.
Weekends I go before him as I have to take medication that has a side effect of making me sleepy. TV in the bedroom not working so will read or go straight to sleep.

We watch soaps when the younger dc have gone to bed, then maybe watch a film with older dc or go to bed and watch a few episodes from a box set.

Agreed early on that we would always go to bed at the same time!!

We generally go to bed at the same time, we’re very boring and just get undressed, get in bed and either go straight to sleep or have sex then go to sleep. I never read or anything in bed (don’t have a tv in the bedroom so can’t watch it in there even if I wanted to), I stay in the living room until I’m tired.

We watch tv in different rooms. I go to bed first then pretend to be asleep when he comes up

Usually around the same time but no TV in the bedroom. Might read, talk, cuddle or just sleep and not necessarily both go sleep at the same time.

I find this fascinating! We're all boring!

We sleep in separate rooms. I usually go up first and then he reads til 1am or something ridiculous in his own room.

Sometimes we go to bed together, sometimes we don't. I usually go to bed and get up earlier. We do have different body clocks. Its something that doesn't bother us.

We always go to bed together. Well I go and shower first while dh sorts the dogs and locks up.

We usually chat, dh always falls asleep before me because I like to read.
Sometimes if we're both really tired we go up and watch tv in bed, seems much more relaxing than on the sofa for some reason.

We got to bed at the same time, then we read for a while, then mostly we turn our bedside lights off at the same time. I always wake before him.

We go to bed together, around 11. We always cuddle up, make love at least 4/7 nights, talk and go straight to sleep. We used to read but for some reason haven't for a year.

When I was married, my H used to decide when he thought it was time to go to bed thenc omeinto whatever room I was (maybe reading/watching Tv/sewing etcc) in turn out the light and shout bedtime then walk off.
He didn't see anything wrong with this.

Now I go to bed whenever I like, and keep my feet warm with a dog

We always go to bed at the same time. It's a rule in our marriage. Even when I was first pregnant and exhausted DH made sure he always came up with me, even at 8pm, though sometimes he would read for a bit next to me.

We normally go up at the same time - cuddle every night, then either have sex, or read until we fancy going to sleep. I normally stay up later as I start work later than him.

No idea.

I go to bed early with my laptop.

OH stays up silly hours.

Separate bedrooms.

We generally go to bed at a similar time (early-ish because of small DD) . Me normally 20 minutes or so before because I take much longer to get ready for bed than him (I like to do a decent cleanse before bed) so he'll sit downstairs catching up on the sports news, locking up etc until I'm ready for bed then he comes up.

We then will either read or look online in bed for a bit - or sometimes have sex if we're not too tired!

DH & I have separate bedrooms too! I highly recommend if possible.

I go to bed about an hour or 2 before DP, I get tired really easy.

When the child is in bed we watch something or have a cuddle/shag then I head up about 11ish.

Don't think I could do separate bedrooms though 😐

We watch TV downstairs (or, at least, the TV is on and we read our phones) and just go to bed when we're tired; sometimes we go up at the same time but most often we go to bed at different times. I like to try and get to sleep before he comes up if I can because his snoring and breathing does my head in.

We don't watch or read in bed, even before dc - downstairs is for that and bed is for sleeping here and neither of us could sleep if the other was doing something next to us. We sleep in separate rooms now tho. He sleeps with DS2 and i sleep with dd. We both go up about 9-10pm, me usually with the baby at 9.30ish. So still no reading/watching in bed.

Same time every night

Used to be a problem, DH is an owl and I'm not, and he hated me always going to bed much earlier than him.

Now we go at same time and I read for about a minute then sleep, and DH watches something on his iPad with earphones on. Perfect.

We never ever have sex at night. Both far too tired and full from dinner. Even pre dc.

Go to bed at same time most night. No tv in bedroom. Sometimes we go early and read/gom on iPads etc. We are doing that more and more as nothing to watch on the tele these days. I think it’s important for your relationship to go together, we talk quite a lot at this time too as well as the more obvious stuff. Especiallyimportant for us as we tend to play musical beds with the kids later in the night, so we need that time together.
