[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you going to sleep early to avoid her?

how old are your kids? do they really need help getting ready for school?

do you always miss the kids bedtime?

how long have you been doing this? did you tell her the same when your kids were ready little ?

have you considered changing your behavior and stop being so rigid? go to bed a half hour later for example? [/quote]

No, I adore my wife and she’s usually a very patient, kind person. I love spending time with her but sleep has always been a major priority for me.  When our kids were young obviously they went out the window.  However, during that time she was definitely getting more sleep than me as I was the one staying home and up at night nursing while she worked a pretty demanding job.

No, we both tuck the kids in together.  They’re 7, 7 and 10 but are in bed by 8:30 and are free to read for about an hour.

Going to bed at 9:30/10?  Since I started my current job, so for about 18 months.  Previously I worked from home and went to bed later (10-11).

I often will actually fall asleep at 10, even if I’m bed by 9:30. I tend to do best on routines and sleep best when I keep to that weekly sleep routine.  I do not do this on weekends or vacations.  I’m sure many consider me rigid, but I’ve always always been routine oriented.  Not sure if it’s relevant but I am autistic so routine can be a big part of that (as well as higher sleep needs).

I don't think what you are asking for is unreasonable, especially for her to not wake you up to talk or not to watch videos in bed while you are sleeping. I'm having a hard time understanding why she's  digging in her heels about this. You may not want to , but the only way she might understand how serious you are is if  you mention sleeping in another room.[/quote]
