likes to run the vacuum in the morning and do dishes, both of which wake me up.
Too funny, my wife does something similar.
If I get up first, I grab my PJ's in the dark, sneak out of the bedroom quietly, get something to drink, and hang out in the office quietly until she gets up.
If she gets up first she flips on the closet light to grab her robe, opens and closes the bedroom door loudly, then goes in to make breakfast, clanking dishes, turning on the vent fan, running the blender, slamming the door to the laundry room, etc. Then she says "you didn't have to get up just because I did".... Yeah, right...
Going to bed is similar. If I go to bed first, I close the bedroom blind, remove the extra pillows from the bed, fold down the blanket on her side, and turn on her light for when she comes in.
When she goes to bed first she just climbs in bed. I then have to fumble around in the dark to close the blind, undress in the dark, try to sort through the pillows without seeing, figure out where the blankets are, and climb in. Which is usually followed by an irritated "why did you wake me up".
So, we usually try to go to bed and get up at the same time...
