Normally I go to bed at 9 pm. I'm only in my early thirties and I'm asleep by 9 pm! When I was a kid, my mom liked to go to bed early and she would force us to be in bed early too. We (my sister and I) would beg and plead to be allowed to stay up and watch some random lifetime movie, you know the ones that start at 9 and end at 11. But we hardly ever won the fight. We'd be pouting in bed while our mom would go on, in Haitian Creole, how a good nights sleep was important for growing children. When I got old enough not to be given a bedtime, I would stay up to 2 or 3 am, watching tv or playing on the Internet. Now I start falling asleep during 8 pm sitcoms. It's usually lights out by 9 for me. I commute to work, and our contacted start time is 7:05 am. In order to prevent crankiness I go to bed early.
The 9 pm bedtime holds true for me every night except Friday and Saturday evening. It's not because I'm out at bars, clubs or such. I hate clubs actually, the music is loud, the people annoying and I can't dance ! I only rarely go to bars, and when I do it's usually on a random night during the week when it's not so crowded, and well before my 9 pm bedtime. Those nights of the week I get to spend with "him".
"Him", its a long story, maybe one day I'll tell the full story, but for now all I will say is that he takes away from my sleep because I can't leave him on the nights we are together. So on weekends when I should be getting ample rest, I instead have a sleep deficit, going to bed five or more hours past my bedtime. But that's ok with me, remember I am on a quest to find happiness and maybe, he can help me to get there.
