I am a morning person and Doug is a night owl. We find it works out great because in the morning I get up, have some peaceful time to myself, feed the birds, feed the dogs and Zen, get all the morning routine done in peace and quiet. If I want to listen to music no problem. Doug sleeps through just about anything. In the evenings I stay up till he gets home, which can be midnight some nights. Making sure he has a warm meal when he walks in the door. Then I relax and he takes the dogs for their final potty, cleans up his dishes, takes care of any last thing he needs to.
We always go to bed together. But we have a tv and dvd player in there so that if he is not tired yet he can watch a movie and I have learned to fall asleep to the noise. With us trying to have a baby we think two opposites in this area is great. He can stay up longer at night with the baby while I get sleep and I can get up early in the morning while he sleeps in. Less chance of the grumps from either of us that way.
