My boyfriend is a night owl and stays up pretty late gaming etc most nights. I am up early almost every morning (between 5.30-7 depending on gym class, work, dog etc) and I've always been someone who likes to be in bed by 10 bar the odd occasion. He has been getting annoyed with me for not staying up until a "reasonable" time at the weekends and going to bed at 10/11 or falling asleep on the sofa because I am shattered. On some occasions he gives me the silent treatment the next day if I've fallen asleep early on a Saturday night for example. Surely I should be allowed to go to bed when I feel like it? He says it is because he wants us to spend time together but we will have been sitting together having dinner and watching TV all evening before that. It's just tiring to manage and if I go to bed early on a Friday night I have to have a trade off of staying up late the next night. An I unreasonable to be fed up with him dictating when I go to bed?
AIBU?
Am I being unreasonable?

You're not compatible.

He's an arse. Sod that.
Turn it around. Tell him you agree and you're so excited he's going to be getting up at 6:30 to walk the dog with you so you can spend some quality time together.
