| A nightowl living with a morning person.... Posted: 3/3/2008 10:30:16 AM | Interesting thread! I really like K lo's solution early on. I like the idea of some 'all to myself' time, and I think maturity, consideration and general flexiblity on both sides can make it work just fine. Which helps, of course, in all aspects of the relationship, not just sleep.
Then again, I sympathize with the people that have a hard time sleeping. I've never had trouble sleeping through teenage jam sessions in my family room, or waking up when my daughter comes home at 3:00 am (she's a REAL night owl, in college and soon to be 19) and going right back to sleep. | |

| A nightowl living with a morning person.... Posted: 3/3/2008 10:36:31 AM | My sister and her husband have now been married over 25 years. She tends to go to be with him for any cuddling till he goes to sleep and then she gets up and does her night owl things until about 4 or 5 am when she goes back to bed with him until he gets up between 5 and 6am. She sleeps till 11am.
Not my choice of lifestyles, but they each honor and respect each other. However, I should note that she doesn't do the bar scene or any other socializing (except bingo and online gaming) while he is sleeping.
I have another young friend who had pretty much the same sleep pattern with her older SO ... except she was out catting around while he went to be early. He finally got enough guts to kick her to the curb - which may or may not have been after his catting around. | |

My last relationship she would most of the time like to be in bed by 10pm I on the other mite stay up till 11 or 12. So what we did is we went to bed together and I would watch tv or read till I could fall a sleep. There is always a way to work around each others schedule. I know people who almost never see each other during the week but spend all weekend together. | |
