one of the things that I found to cause a little stress in my last relationship is that I am a morning bird. It is extremely difficult for me to sleep in past 6:30am even on the weekends. I go to work extremely early in the morning, and typically in bed by 10pm. I was with someone who could easily sleep until 11am and awake until 3am every night.

have you found that it is easier for Morning birds to date other Morning birds, rather than dating Night Owls? When I wake up in the morning, if I am next to someone who hasn't wakened yet (yes I have so many men in my bed ... not really, but it has happened), I try to be still and not wake them, if I want to relax and enjoy laying there... or, if I'm at there house, and wouldn't want to wander around...

would it be easy if you could both just stay up late and expect to sleep in... or, even easier if you both were early birds and like to wake up (even if not get up), about the same time in the morning?

or, does it really not matter?

My last partner was normally a much later to awake and later to sleep type, but it seemed that when we were together it wasn't a big deal.

(That is said in the context of not living together, though. Day to day, I would worry about this.)

the only time i have an issue with someone that gets up much later than i do is if we have plans for the day and dont get out till 1pm and half the day is gone. (speaking from experience here)

i dont usually sleep that much and i can stay up pretty late and get up fairly early, but if i had to choose i would pick an early riser over someone that got up late consistently

I think it is easier to date people with similar sleep patterns. I am more of a night owl. Never asleep before 11:00 even though I'm up at 6:30 m-f. I try and call my boyfriend at 9:00 pm to say good night and most of the time he is asleep on the couch. Moved the call to 8:30...same thing. I have actually thought about how we will manage this if we get married. I mean, when will we have sex? I am not a early morning, get one in before getting up for work, type of gal.

I can't see myself changing and crawling in bed at 9:00 every night.

My schedule has been an issue for some people. I'm at work by 5:30AM, so I usually am in bed about 9:00 every night. Even on weekends, sleeping in for me means getting up a little after six, which is still sleeping two hours later than usual.

Most people I've known have been very understanding of my schedule, but I have run into a few that cannot deal with it.

I find my sleep pattern changes as my needs change. If I'm expected to be at work by 8 am, I'm up fairly early. Since I don't have to drive my son to school every morning, I can get up later. If I didn't have to work until 10 am or so, I would probably sleep later.

I have a habit of staying up late and getting up early.

The only problems I ever had with getting up earlier than my partner was thinking I was being too loud and would wake him while I was getting ready for my day.

yes, but sex becomes very difficult between a night owl and a morning bird, if the morning bird is an early to bed bird.

if you partner doesn't come to bed until 1am, 2am, 3am every night... it's hard to perform at your best when you're halfway sleep every time you're in bed together.
