Can't stay awake at night

Well, I pretty much fall asleep watching TV every night.  I have been with my DH for 7 years - 3 dating and 4 married and he tells me this morning how much it bothers him that I fall asleep on him.   This is nothing new about me and yes, he has told me before, but I am just not a night person.  Also, I am a working mom, commute 50 minutes each way to work, and get up at 5:00am every morning to start the day.  I'm beat!  I need about 8 hours of sleep a night.  I feel bad because he's interested in couple time and I am too, I just end up falling a sleep.  I am a morning person not a night person.   HELP!

    You have every right to be tired, but it's important to nuture your relationship too. Maybe in the hour before you go to bed, just sit with your dh and have some quality time together. Play a game, talk, have a glass of wine, TURN OFF THE TV! We've been listening to music when we get home and it's amazing how much more in tune I am with what we're talking about. Even just cooking dinner together is quality time. Then, on the weekends we make sure to have some family time where it's just the 3 of us (me, dh and ds). Thsi really helps us.

    I am the same way! When DH is out for the night I could go to bed at 8;30 pm and be a happy camper. But I force myself to have couple time before 9:30 pm (bedtime). We eat dinner together, have s** and talk and then off to bed I go and he stays up watching tv.  I just give it my all to him when I have that one hour with him. It is always quality over quantity in my house b/c I just don't have the time...sadly enough. Even with DS....
