I've always been a 5-6 hour/night guy - I like to stay up late and get up early.
Heck, I thought I was the only one. My dad always thought I'd wind up dead because of lack of sleep. He just didn't think a person could continue to do that to theirselves and survive. Well..... here I am. I stay up late and still get up every morning at 5:20am for work. I'd love to get a nap everyday, but right now I'm taking some afternoon classes at the local Technology Center, so that's out. I guess some just don't require a whole lot of sleep.
If your spouse snores badly, take their hind ends to the local sleep doc and get a sleep study done. I had sleep apnea something terrible, and they put me on a c-pap machine & shazaam..... no more snoring. It takes a little getting used to, and they usually have to adjust it a time or two for you, but once they get it figured out it's awesome sleep. No snoring, no whining spouses, and you wake up feeling like a million bucks. Another thing that fella taught me that I didn't know, I had pretty bad acid reflux that reared its ugly head during the night. He asked me during my consultation (when he had a camera up my nose & into my throat) if I ever woke up with heartburn. I said "yeah, sure do" and he put me on a prescription for prilosec & fixed that problem too. I can now buy it over the counter.
