I will not comply. I will not lie down. I will not go quietly. I will not submit. I will not roll over. I will not shut up.

My point. To try to get someone to conform to some rigid sleep routine that does not suit then can be harmful to that person. And attempting to decide what that person should sleep like is defeating - much like if someone ordered you to sleep in a different fashion than what you recognize is "best" for you.
Recognizing each person as an important person with their own important needs is very important - but is difficult for some people to accept - because control of the other person is more important to the controller.

Haha, I'm pretty sure the original post was meant as a joke, her husband can read this.

Hell I don't know, don't take relationship advice from me. My longest relationship didn't even last two years and it ended badly, it was very, very ugly.

I'd rather my own son see me die on my feet as a free man, than watch him go, broken, into slavery.

He was tired because he stays up too darn late playing video games and then has to get up early for work. We have pretty much fixed the problem because he wears a CPAP machine now for his sleep apnea. It is helping. It's wasn't a control issue. It was a health issue. I actually did the original post as a joke to him because I told him I was going to tattle if he did it again.
