Usually we go to bed late. I think I will fall asleep earlier than my husband. As I don't often hear his snores. That means to say I fall asleep earlier than him.

I am the one that falls asleep most of the time as my husband will be still wide awake doing his thinking stuff !!He will be thinking about the day, his business and I think some other stuff as well as I have asked him before. Only on those rare occasions does he fall asleep before me. Very very rare.

We go to bed late together, but usually my husband will fall asleep much much earlier than me. It make me even harder to get to sleep hearing those snoring of his.

I am usually up late so my wife goes to bed first but when we go to bed at the same time she is the one that falls asleep first. And of course... she says she TRIES to get to sleep first so she doesn't hear me snoring either! Great question Thanks Zelo

Everyday I need to go to bed with my little son who does not go to sleep with my husband. I'll play with him or read stories for him and then fall asleep with him. When my husband go to bed I have been asleep. Of course if my son is not at home we'll go to bed together.

I am a night devil, a nocturnal spirit I just can't sleep early. My husband sleeps earlier and wakes up earlier[contrary to the traditional ways of a traditional wife, I am hopeless at waking up early and serving husband ,youless.

mmm I am very regular youless[late sleep and late rising].Moreover, because I wait for my son to come home and then I serve his food when he comes back late from office[if he is in station]I go to bed late. I compromise by waking up late.

If we go to bed at the same time, he falls asleep first - for some reason as soon as his head touches the pillow, a couple of minutes later I can hear him snoring. It takes me awhile to get to sleep once in bed, unless i'm really tired then it's instant.

it really depends on how tired we are. There is no specific pattern on who sleeps first. On my busy weeks, I may fall a sleep first. On her busy weeks, she may be the one. It really depends on the activity and schdule of the week at the office.

Hi youless! haha..It is the same thing with me. I usually go to bed earlier than my husband so that I will not be able to hear him snore too! However, it is not really a problem since he really sleeps so late and I am already deep in my sleep when he goes to bed. Take care and blessings to you! lovelots..faith

Perhaps a designer often gets good inspirations at night as at that time nobody will bother him

I always go to sleep first. I have to get up very early so I'm ready for bed around 9:30. I used to be more of a night person but I've been working this morning job for so long I've got used to going to bed early and getting up early too.

I fall asleep earlier than my husband and I also stay asleep longer as my husband suffers from insomnia which makes it very hard for him to fall asleep and just as hard for him to stay asleep! ;)

I am sorry to hear that your husband is suffering the insomnia. I hope he will relax himself and doesn't suffer from the heavy pressure. Perhaps he will fall asleep easily.

If it's possible, try to avoid medicine to make you fall asleep. I don't really want to depend on the medicine to sleep.

I fall asleep first. Hubby works late, but even when he is home I tend to fall asleep easier and faster than he does.

My husband almost always falls asleep before I do. For whatever reason, he can fall asleep under any circumstances, and likes to nap often. I, on the other hand, like to stay up nights, and work in the peace and quiet, without the phone ringing, and the neighbours blasing their loud music.

Usually it's my husband. I am a night person so I always stay up late but there are nights when he has to do something or finish a project then I'll sleep earlier than him. Like last night I slept ahead of him.

Normally my wife falls asleep faster than me as once her head hits the pillow, I think she's off to dreamland. As for me, I do a lot of thinking before I go to sleep, hahaEven if on the rare occasions that I snore when I'm super duper tired, she will still know EVEN THOUGH she sleeps earlier than me!~ HahaThe strange thing is after she "SHHH" me, I just stop snoring. All these I never realize unless she relates it to me, haha

I usually fall asleep before my husband. I'm not sure why, but it's just the way that it is. I usually am the one to go to bed first. Sometimes, we do go to bed at the same time, or he'll go to bed first. However it really doesn't happen often that he'll go to bed before I do.
