    I read somewhere that one of the best things you can do to improve your sex life is to go to bed at the same time. I might have read that in some terrible women's mag so I can't vouch for its authenticity.

    It certainly makes it a lot easier than if you go to bed at different times

    I reckon the people complaining about adults with games consoles are the same people who have trouble recording stuff from the tv, using printers, and type texts solely with their index finger averaging a word a minute.

    Like most blokes I stay down after she's gone up and put on the porn channel with the sound down.

    Are you not allowed watch porn or something? :confused:

    Always go to bed at the same time, we lock up, get glasses of water and go to bed, read for a bit, have a cuddle and say I love you to each other then turn off the light and go to sleep.

    100% of the time when she's upstairs asleep and I'm downstairs watching telly we are not having sex.
    Well, one of you isn't anyway :p

    Yeah, myself and the missus pretty much go to bed at the same time. It kind of just morphed into that. I used to always just go to bed whenever. Could be 1am even if I was up at 7am. Whereas my wife has a bedtime ritual that takes about 30 minutes, and she's very particular about getting enough sleep.
    So when we moved in together we discovered that she often can't get to sleep if she's gone to bed first and I'm still up and about. And to be fair it's the same for me - if she's out, I can't sleep until she gets home. So now we go to bed at the same time.

    If I was left to my own devices it would be midnight or later every night and I'd be in a permanent zombie state.

    On weekends I'll sometimes stay up later having a few beers and watching a movie or playing a game, but with a child in the house that's really just asking for a horrible morning.

    Been watching docs about space and nature since I was a nipper.

    Some people are strange in that they'd rather their partner had sex with them rather than staying up late on their own jerking off to porn.

    Could you not just watch it together? Or do it for him?

    Or just live in denial that he doesn't do it behind your back :)

    I usually go to bed earlier as I like to read for a bit before I sleep and I'm up an hour or so earlier than him. Only half an hour to an hour earlier usually, so I'm still awake when he comes to bed and we chat for a while before sleeping.

    Cat is last to bed. Always. He likes to stay up and watch porn :cool:

    It was usually the same time, as it's quite nice to fall asleep together.

    It's not as surprising as you'd think!

    I don't care if my boyfriend watches porn, because I'd be a hypocrite as I watch it myself the odd time, and i don't care cause i know he's attracted to me anyway.

    But, every single one of my female friends would dump a partner for watching porn because they think he should only ever get off to thoughts of them. :rolleyes:

    What's wrong with watching porn on your own?

    Hardly suprising. The first generation of videogamers would be either approaching, or, are already middle aged.

    During the week it's around the same time alright, on Friday and Saturdays she tends to head early so I catch up on MOTD or with the playstation, tend to get up earlier too and do likewise. It works well.

    She wants to get a tv in the bedroom, but I'm completely against watching tv in bed (not even sure where it came from - I just hate the idea of sitting on a bed and then lying down in the same spot x minutes later).

    I go to bed after my OH. I could not go to bed with her all the time, it is just to early and it is the only time I get to give the Xbox a go or watch some documentaries that she would never watch in a million years freaky freaky porn.

    FYP :p

    Absolutely nothing, I prefer it that way.

    Gone are the judging stares, silly questions, shouts of dissaproval from other commuters/shoppers etc.

    Single? Lucky you.

    My wife won't let me sleep until she has multiples.

    It varies. Usually at the weekend I go to bed a few hours before my husband does but during the week we tend to go to bed at the same time.

    Best one I ever heard was from a mate of mine who got caught sausage battering whilst watching Brazzers porn channel by his missus and kicked him out.

    Weird thing was that they had just come back from Amsterdam where they had viewed loads of Live sex-shows.

    She told him she felt betrayed lol

    Ah well.

    My boyfriend doesn't need as much sleep as me, so he pretty much forces himself to come to bed with me when I'm over at the weekend.
    But then the reality is that he's often asleep before me.its nice to fall asleep together, can't beat a good spooning.

    During the week my husband goes to bed before me, I have terrible insomnia so am up hours after.

    At weekends we try to go to bed at the same time.
