Bedtime

Recently, my HOH came up with a new rule, and it involves my bedtime. On nights that I have to go to work the next morning, I must go to bed with my husband. Likewise, since he leaves earlier than I do, I must get up with him as well.
This is one of my hardest rules to follow- seeing as I am a major sleeper, a night owl, and to say that I'm simply not a morning person is a huge understatement. However, this is one rule I've become very thankful for. It is a good, no- perfect, example of how the rules our HOH's ask their wives to follow are for their own good more than anything else.

You see, while it's hard for me to get up in the morning, and go to bed at a decent hour, it's something I'm in huge need of. When I go to bed late, I sleep late. Which means I get to work late. Which means I'm in trouble. This is my husband's business! It very much involves him. Not to mention, since my HOH does have some pretty good sleeping-time habits, this has an affect on our sex life, which just isn't fair to a partner in marriage.

The other day, I thanked him for this rule. It's helped me more than I realized. It also was great in a little friendly reminder as to why he's the HOH, and I'm the submissive. I do much better on this side, by nature- and I'm not afraid to admit it.

So, this rule was created for my own good mostly, and also to benefit my marriage, and my HOH. Now tell me what's wrong with a rule? The HOH simply has much better self-discipline. To him, going to bed before 11pm isn't a problem, it's easy. So he makes me tag along with him. That's fair enough. And I can't resent him for that, he may have saved me my job. ;)
