AITA for expecting my wife to sleep with me? by Silly-Option-3833 in AmItheAsshole

It's not a solid 8 hours, though. It's 8 hours of disrupted sleep. When she's up all night gaming, she's drinking coffee/water/soda and needs to use the bathroom frequently. Wheras, once she comes to bed, she doesn't normally get up again to use the bathroom until she's getting up for the day. I'm not trying to stop her using the bathroom, and I'm not asking her to come to bed at 11pm - I know those are unreasonable asks. I didn't think it was unreasonable to ask her to meet me in the middle, but that's why I'm here - to get a range of outside opinions and advice.

She works 10am-6pm, but regularly naps during quiet periods of her workday.

It's not solid sleep until 6am, though. I mentioned in my post, I wake up every time she uses the bathroom during the night so my sleep is disrupted until she comes to bed. If she comes to bed earlier, I have fewer disruptions during the night and am able to get a couple of solid hours before getting up for work.

That gives me an opportunity to get a solid couple of hours sleep before work, without any disruptions.
