The dog, otoh, would want to be let out at four in the morning if you didn't let him out at midnight before going to bed. If you did let him out at midnight, he decided that you needed to be up 6:30 in the morning regardless of your desires or his bladder status.

To point number two, I'd add, also avoid nightmares in which your spouse has discovered he has cancer and only a few weeks to live and has decided to commit suicide and wants your help.<br /><br />Also, avoid having a toddler who doesn't fall asleep until after one a.m. and only after two drives to town and back. <br /><br />And then if you have a spouse who works nights and therefore whose body is on that schedule even on days off, you still get to decide: do I sleep, or do I spend time with the husband I haven't seen in two days?
