[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]ONLY IF you guys like alone time and respect the fact that you have different needs… and can sleep through each other’s early wake ups/late bedtimes. [/b]

I love my NO husband dearly, but it’s a huge pain that he doesn’t like to be alone, so he gets sad when it’s time for me to go to bed - and it disturbs his sleep for me to get up early. 
So, yeah, that type of situation is not truly compatible and I would nip it in the bud now. But if you guys can adjust, it’s no big deal. [/quote]

+1 DH is a nightowl and I'm an early bird. We are also both introverts and enjoy having our alone time in the a.m. (me) or night (him). And both can sleep through the other coming to bed/getting up.

The night owl also needs to be flexible to deal with life. If you end up having kids, it really won't work if one spouse insists that they have to always sleep late since little kids are generally early risers. DH gets up early when needed and when the kids were little he'd always be up early on weekends. I went back to work when they were in elementary school and had a schedule where I went into work early so he was up to get the kids to school. Once they got into their teens, I appreciated his late schedule because he handled any late pick ups and I never felt I had to wait up for teens to get home since I knew he'd be up anyway. It's worked for us for 24 years so far.[/quote]
