By 11 PM I am so tired and need to go to bed but my husband only sleeps about 4 hours a night and goes to bed around 2AM. He thinks I should either stay up, or should be able to sleep through him coming into the bedroom at 2 AM. Does this sound common? (Couples with completely different sleep needs and schedules)

I had such a problem with my last ex. Your case wouldn't be a problem for me because 3 hours are more than enough for me to fall asleep and I wouldn't wake up at 2 a.m. However, my dear insisted on coming to bed 1/2 an hour to 1 1/2 after I retreated to the bedroom, which meant I just couldn't relax and drift off because I didn't know when he'd show up or he'd wake me up juuuuust as I was drifting off and then I couldn't fall asleep for hours after that.
No amount of explanation how much that disturbed me helped. I think he was doing it deliberately precisely because he knew it. Towards the end I was just going to another bedroom to get some sleep.

Ok, what is the need any man has to stay awake that long??

Buy some earplugs then you won't hear him come in the bedroom.

I can't last over 12
Well, I also like staying up late, but on a work night you have to make it to bed at a more decent time. If I don't have to work, I'd stay up till 3-4 a.m. myself.

Ok, what is that kind of amazing job that keeps someone up over 12, unless otherwise it's a stupid IT guy who deals with his offshore team in China/India or is working towards deadlines he was forced to accept
It would only bother me if he wasn't considerate about it. If he was banging around in the bathroom or turning lights on and off - I would be pissed and he would know it.
I have weird sleep habits myself, so I try to be very careful not to wake anyone else.

This sounds normal. Would you prefer it if he went to bed when you did, even though he wasn't tired? Or perhaps fall asleep, but then wake up at 3 a.m.?
This is why some couples have separate bedrooms--the whole "different sleep schedules" thing, or perhaps one snores. But this is normal.
