biorhythms and compatibility

Actually, dys, when we had small babies your situation was ideal here as well. I'm the early riser and Mr B is the night owl. When the girls were babies he would stay up until 1 or 2 am to cover the first middle of the night feeding and I would get up at 4 or 5 to cover the second one. We were literally the house that never slept until the baby started sleeping through the night.

I agree with you that private time is important. We've become more aligned in our biorhythms over the years but I still tend to be in bed by 10 and up by 6 and he's more of a midnight to 8:00 sleeper, giving each of us a couple hours of private time to spend on personal pursuits.

I'm the last to go in bed (about midnight) and the first up (6 am).

Works fine as well :wink:

We both have extreme night owl biorhythms. Of course, sozlet does too. This is mostly OK but causes problems in the real world -- we seem to constantly be trying to get bedtimes back/ going to bed before we're really tired. The kid's in afternoon kindergarten now but we're going to have to get her set to wake up at a genuinely early hour to start first grade -- we're making progress, but it's a struggle. Can't wait for October 29th.

If I didn't have to worry about anything else, I'd be in bed around 2 and up around 10.

As-is, I usually have my private time in the morning after hubby's gone to work and kid isn't up yet.

dys- I am just like you and my husband is like Diane. I love the privacy that it affords me. If you notice, I do a lot of A2King in the early AM.

It is true that hubby does get a bit pissed off when I fall asleep at 8 pm watching a movie on TV, but what the hell, it's not a big issue!

When I was in college, I had a part-time job as a lab assistant for a biology professor whose expertise was "biological chronometry". There actually is such a field, if you and Diane want to study it and maybe do some experiments.
